As an update to a post I made a few months ago I wanted to show a vintage vest I got to go with one of my suits.

The whole thing.

Close up of the different patterns.

The vest is reversible too.

So do you think this combination works?

It definitley works. The grey/blue windowpane in the vest compliments the suit very well, and with grey being an all accepting color, the beige just pops out very nicely giving a wonderful contrast.

Just won this suit on Ebay, was the only one who bid. :D A few issues but should be able to iron them out fairly easy. Bad quality photos.

Great ensemble. I dig the complementing contrast of the waist coat.

If I may, shine the shoes and tighten the necktie knot, and it would be complete. :)

Thanks gents. The shoes could do with a shine. That tie is made of think fabric though and was as tight as it could get. Plus, I actively tie my ties to avoid the dimple, I have never been a fan.

Just back from the cleaners, and a real bargain on eBay. Dated 1926.

Close up of weave gives off a slight hint of windowpane.

The owner at some point had a tailor switch the button fly for a zipper. Though more convenient it's anachronistic.

Excellent suit! Are you sure the zipper isn't original? They were around in '26, though it would have been a novelty to have them on trousers as far as I know.

Oh! I didn't know zippers were that old! I thought they were a '30s invention. In that case it may have been origional, didn't seem to have any extra tailoring stitches.
