Ya don't need to be Blue to wear Brown.

Feraud,
Great outfit. Your brown suit has an almost "Shark Skin" sheen to it. Great color and great fit. Bravo to you. :eusa_clap

Thanks Marty M! It does have that sharkshin sheen I like. I also have a similar cut in blue.

Does anyone know if sharkskin material is available for purchase for repro work?

You could probably find some at Tip Top or Beckenstein's.

Tip Top had several sharkskins the last time I was there (about two months ago, I think), but none with a sheen quite like that.

Feraud,

the photo of you standing at the computer strikes me in particular -- the fit of your suit is just great, and you can really tell by looking at the armhole where it meets your back.

All too often I see guys with too much material in this region in particular. You've got it just right. I've been sitting in trial a lot lately, taking notes for the attorneys I work for, so I've had plenty of chances to note the bunched up material in this region, since for most of the time, all I see is their backs. Nice to see a suit that follows your body in this area the way it should.

 

[Feraud]

Thanks SVB. The fit of that suit is very nice. As you noted the arms fit comfortable enough to move freely without having to unbotton the jacket.

Now that is a '50s suit. Those lapels are TINY! Nice find.

Is it single, double, or non-vented?

 

[ITG]

Feraud, you look smashing, dahling!

It is my favorite style, double vented. The lapels are about 2 1/4" at the widest point.

Feraud, you look smashing, dahling!

Thanks ITG!

 

[Jovan]

*whistle* I though 2.5" was the smallest they made.

Double vents are also my favourite. :cheers1:

"Rat Pack.." Feraud's the Daddy!

Feraud, very "Rat Packish" and I could see you parading up the strip at Vegas with Dino and Sinatra!!

Tan mini-houndstooth Samuelsohn that I found at a thrift store for $20. Fit me perfectly straight off the rack. The sleeves could come up a tad, but I'm reluctant to go to the tailor for a quarter inch.

 

[Feraud]

I think the sleeves are perfect.

Maybe an 1/8", but I wouldn't fool with it. Great suit.

Orgetorix:

I really like your "stroller." The vest is great!

I can't believe you picked up your first suit for only $20.00. What a bargain! It fits you like a glove.

 

[Orgetorix]

Thanks! The vest was an ebay find.

And the Samuelsohn, while nice, is by no means my first suit. Far from it--in fact, my wife tends to give me looks of disbelief every time I come home with another one!

 

[Dagwood]

...by no means my first suit.

I should have been more specific - your first "pictured" suit. I imagine your closet with rows and rows of impeccable suits.

 

[StanleyVanBuren]

I imagine your closet with rows and rows of impeccable suits.

I like to imagine my closet this way too! Hasn't come true yet, but I'm getting there...
