I really can't get enough of this one. Almost makes me sad that it will warm up, someday.

Have a great suit day,

Thanks Michael. It's possible it's 40s. There are no marks in it at all, so I think it was made by a local tailor sometime in the past.love this suit Michael, would it be 40s?

I got this one at a local Goodwill. I found the three pieces all separated, in the pants/jackets/vests sections of the store. It was an exciting feeling putting it all together, and it felt even better when I found out that it fit! It's wool, made by Hart Schaffner & Marx. Tag says it was made December 22nd, 1977. I think the wide lapels make it look similar to a 1930s style suit. Would anyone agree? I'm curious to hear thoughts. I'm hoping I can use a late 20th-century suit to pull off an early 20th-century look.

Great fabric an nice cut - very 20ish with the long silhoutte.
That's exactly was in my mind - to recreate silhouette of '20 slim "jazz suits".
But in my opinion the jacket isn't long. It is normal! Modern "fashion" jacket of Zara of H&M are just short, too short, they don't even cover your buttocks completely. Longer vintage jackets looks more natural and follow natural proportions of human body.
Ahaha, amen. I'm a 'bum-freezer' wearer myself but can appreciate the longer 20s lengthsI completely agree with you, but as a wearer of various 30s suits,
where even the jacket does not always cover the bottom, I still say "long".
