[Chad Sanborn]

The green one looks remarkably like a blue one I recently lost on ebay. Snipered at the last second.

[Daniel Riser]

WOW! What kind of camera do you use Marc?

I found that one in Pasadena... so I didn't snipe it from you Chad

 

[Wild Root]

Oh, say it's to big, SAY IT'S TOO BIG! I'd do anything for a suit like that!!!

Enjoy Marc!

[Matt Jones]

That color is off the charts! Stunning!

 

[Sefton]

That is one fantastic suit. Really beautiful.

 

[Mr. Rover]

That button is pretty trippy...it's so perfect...

 

[boomerchop]

I second the fact that the pictures you take are absolutely remarkable! We knew it was a good suit, but WOW! you sure know how to make it look as good on film as it is in person

 

[DanielJones]

All I can say is WOW! Gorgous suit, my friend. Where do you folks find these little gems that actually fit?

Cheers!

Dan:

I found that suit in Pasadena.

 

[Mr. Rover]

It has a perfect roll on the lapel, too. Real class act.

Here's another rarity: a PURPLE double-breasted suit, circa 1940. The fabric is a soft, drapey, blankety wool: feels like a cashmere blend. Condition is perfect.

I had to fiddle a bit with Photoshop to get the picture to show the suit in its authentic color: a blueberry purple.

 

[DanielJones]

Daniel: Ok, I'll bite. Where in Pasadina, please?

VP: That purple number is one snazzy suit. Wouldn't happen to be a 48R would it and they marked it 42 by mistake?

Cheers!

Dan

 

[Matt Deckard]

Both really awsome!

 

[Daniel Riser]

Dan. PM sent.

Marc, that is a gorgeous suit. Is it American?

 

[scotrace]

Purple!

Man that's nice.

In Pearl Harbor, the man that comes running to deliver the news to FDR that PH has been attacked is wearing a suit like that (well, pants). I've wanted that number even more than the A-2's I see there.

 

[Veronica Parra]

Dan, look more closely at the label.

 

[Wild Root]

By looking at the label, Id's say it was American . Only know of one New York! Also, looking at the cut and the style and drape shouts made right here in the good ol' USA!

Yeh- a European one would have been more elegant, understated- without the nipple covers...

Every style has its perks, one's not more elegant then the other, they're great for different reasons I believe. Remember that most American clothes were made by immigrants from Europe! And, Hollywood did get lots of inspiration from Europe as well.
