Show us your suits

[Marc Chevalier]

You may also consider that they just wear them that way for a shoot or runways.

That's bad enough for me ... and that's what millions of people end up seeing, on TV and in magazines.

I like them very much with waistcoats, less so without.

This one i'll probably wear with a thin 50s Lyle & Scott dark brown cashmere, mock neck, waist-length sweater.

Oh yeah, I like 'em with sweaters too. (I'll wear my own high-waisted white flannels with a sweater.)

[Matt Deckard]

Now that makes for a comfortable pair of trousers.

I have a great Pringle (probably women's; maybe men's - very tight on me) late 40s caramel coloured cashmere turtle neck that i wear a lot with dark brown jackets. Sadly, both of these sweaters are currently in sea mail transit from the US. Oh, well, they'll be here for next autumn/winter, when my tweeds will see most of their outings - too hot here already for heavy tweeds.

You're right. very comfy, indeed.

Possibly not quite retro enough for this forum, but . . .

Here are a few shots of my newest suits, purchased, in large part, for its neo-retro appeal (the lapelled waistcoat, combined with the large discount at Brooks Bros., did it for me).

 

[Marc Chevalier]

It's definitely retro enough for this forum. Congratulations! :eusa_clap

Very nice, upr crust! Is it RTW or MTM from Brooks Bros.?

 

[upr_crust]

Not only was it RTW, it was . . .

. . . nearly 50% off on sale (though still hardly cheap - it's Golden Fleece).

Very nice, upr crust! Is it RTW or MTM from Brooks Bros.?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Golden Fleece, yes ... but at least you didn't get fleeced.

Welcome to the forum. Great three piece going on there.

The man in the grey worsted suit.

Putting myself together for the day. My most recent charity shop purchase, a CC41 Montague Burton 3-piece.

First the trousers

Then on with the waistcoat

And finally the jacket.

whoops, forgot a tie. Here's a better shot in some natural light:

It's herringbone madness in the world of Kurtz. Here's todays mix 'n match herringbone effort. All 1930s. The jacket is the german one from reetpleat, the trousers are orphaned, the shirt and tie are recent acquisitions:

[Baron Kurtz]

[upr_crust]

Well, if the first three-piece suit was retro enough . . .

. . . how about this one?

Brooks Bros. MTM, done about four years ago. Hope that you like (and thanks for the compliments on the previous posting, all!).

 

[Marc Chevalier]

That's a terrific-looking suit, IMHO. Fits you very well ... it's pretty much timeless. :eusa_clap

[Orgetorix]

Well done, BK and upr_crust! Those suits look great. :eusa_clap

 

[Mr. Rover]

Timeless is the word- great suit!

Baron Kurtz's pants

Oh my...the way your trousers hang makes me weep with joy. This is how gents' pants are MEANT to fit! Keep up the good work.

The same to all you wonderful lads!
