Baron Kurtz said:Very nice suit. Man, that's a short waistcoat, though . . . Or the trousers ain't cranked up far enough (do you have room to wear them higher on the waist? Maybe this would neessitate losing the cuff? [huh] )
A daylight shot with the jacket buttoned up would be nice . . .

Salv said:And nothing wrong with the haircut - unless you have the hair razored off a short back and sides can never be too short. I have mine clippered at the back and sides with a bare blade on the clippers to just leave stubble.
Mr. Rover said:Thanks, bk. Actually, I think the Grand Hyatt is brand new. The style is just very classic. When I saw art deco lamps in the lobby I knew I'd like it.
I will get some full length pictures of both suits ASAP.
My friend's suit was inspired by the Goldfinger Bond suit. I asked his tailor to make him a suit with 3 buttons with lapels rolling to the 2nd button and a lapeled waistcoat (2 pockets).The lapels aren't as narrow as 60's suits, but I didn't think that looked suited him anyway (heh pun.)
2nd Fitting:
Matt Deckard is going to kill me, but I forgot to ask for high arm holes...a lesson learnt.
Overlooking Hong Kong:
Sorry, another noirish picture.

Time was I could have made a clever comeback to that, but here at the Lounge, that dog don't hunt.When you dress as well as Ray does, you have to beat them off with a stick.

JMS, your Garfield Ace could be early 50s as well as late 40s. I have a wide, low set DB dated '52.
Mike1973, your haircut was more common between the wars than you might think, altho it was rather "conservative" - more often seen on American working joes than sharp-suit-wearing swells.
