My friend lent me his camera to take some pictures of my suits, I just took these myself a few minutes ago. They came out awful, I took them in the full mirror in the dorm bathrooms. I'll get more later this week no doubt that look better, but here's two suits of mine that I wear with the same hat, tie, pocket square, and shoes. They are similar patterns (brown pinstripes) but still look very different.
This is my Hickey Freeman suit that I won on eBay because I thought it was a 'Bold Look' suit at the time, but it's from the horrible 70's. I got it tailored for more of an hourglass shape, and wear the pocket flaps on the inside, and the end result is pretty nice. I love the fabric so much, it's incredibly soft but also heavy.
This is possibly my favorite suit. It's dated 1944. The gorge is so high, the button stance is perfect. The fabric is very heavy, stiff, and coarse. There are sharp white pinstripes in between wider red chalkstripes. When I got it, it fit like a glove. Sure it's a bit short, but otherwise, ideal. Pants are flat front and cuffed. I like pleats, but otherwise, I love brown on me, I love pinstripes, and I love high-gorge double-breasteds.
I still have 2 more 40's suits and a number of other vintage suits and outfits I'd like to show off in a few days.
Edit: Mr. Sable, that teal suit is incredible! What a find!
