An M. Karlsson (which is a Swedish name), of Oslo. He is completely unknown to me, and doesn't appear in any of the sources I currently have available.
Just some bad first time trying on photos. 1955 Anderson and Shepard three piece lovat blue tweed suit.
The trousers need to be take up about 2". Will take better photos when it comes back from the tailor so forgive the not perfect choice of tie, being unshaven, etc.

Won this windowpane 3-piece for less than thrift shop money off ebay. It has some shininess and needs a few repairs, but for the price, I think I can deal or live with those.

Saw it. Extremely elegant example of a vintage two-button stance. Can't believe that no other Loungers bid on it.

I like that it's from the "Everyman's Store". What a great depression-era marketing ploy.
And an ad for "Silvertone Quality Clothes"

Very nice suit, Chasseur. Is that a New Sheridan Club tie?

That is a STUNNING suit, Dinerman! What I would give to have such a piece!
Don't worry about missing buttons. Waistcoat/trouser/jacket buttons are rather generic, so I've found. With dilligence (and perhaps a trip to a clothing-shop) you can find an identical button, or a button that looks close enough to the others that nobody will notice. I did that with a waistcoat I bought, and to this day, nobody has figured out that the top button on my six-pocket brown waistcoat isn't original.

And if you can't, just get another full set that is compatible. Buttons are no problem.

You're not thinking of that Richard Diamond radio episode, are you?
Seriously though, I am jealous of that suit.

Back in the early to mid 1990s I had three suits made for me by a lady in London named Rosamund Black. She ran a vintage clothing shop called 'Blax'. He stock was amaxing. Most of it was sourced from clothing factories all over the UK. I remember seeing a whole rail of 1930s trousers, all in perfect condition. They had been left unfinished in a factory for fifty years, she found them, finished them off and sold them from her shop. As the daughter of a tailor, she had learned enough of his craft to design and cut suits (usually using old patterns she had acquired from factories). Unfortunately, as is so often typical in the UK, her rent was raised, the shop closed and she retired from the business (to work as a furniture restorer) but i still adore the suits she made for me.
This is a light brown summer suit that was made in 1992. The cloth was from an old roll of 1930s cloth that she had in storage in her garage. There was only just enough for the suit and I had to have the trousers narrower than I like. But the cloth was perfect so I had to go for it.
