Thanks Gents.

I never take these blessings for granted, as I appreciate I was just lucky being at the right place at the right time at the right price (when Jupiter must have been in alignment with Pluto..etc!), and (and this is always a *risk* when buying from abroad on the internet), the damn thing FITS TO A TEE!

It's funny 'for me' to hear such compliments, when it seems I am *in awe* of the collections and knowledge that so many of our members have in here, to be honest.

I still (strangely enough) consider 'myself' a *newbie* at this vintage game and am continually on a 'learning curve' ...still...I guess that's what keeps it interesting, that thirst and 'hunt' for more knowledge (you can never know enough)...;)

Thanks again Gents for the kind comments. Knowing how knowledgeable many of you are, I feel very humbled by many of the things you've said :eek:

Cheers Matt.

Those wools do have a great look and feel to them don't they. Looking good yourself there my friend.

Looks great on you Paddy, I do love those rough wools. I have one with a very similar wool... I just wish it had a vest.

That's a GREAT look you have going on there. I'm all for the 'detail,' so what time piece would you sport with that ensemble then..? (just for the finishing touches).

Sorry it took me so long to respond Paddy, for some reason I missed your quoting me.

Answer: If I had the bucks...Franck Muller Casablanca.

I think I've posted this suit in here before, but this pic captures the style and silhouette wonderfully.

1940-dated 'Fashion Park' suit.

Me in my first suit on the day of my graduation party. The limo is a 56 Imperial, which was hired as a gift from my parents.

Hey great style digging the clubmasters and hat. Great car love the Imperials! Is that suit vintage?

Unfortunately no. Its an Alfani suit I picked up at Macy's. The first suit i ever bought. Combined with my dad's Macy's card and the sale price it only cost me $75. Here's a pic of me sitting in the Imperial...

But still a nice suit got a 40s feel with the wide peaked lapels and tapered look
