That is the shipping cost, Europeans(and most other countries besides the USA) use commas instead of periods in their money, I believe.

The suit sold for 98 Euros, or 126 USD.

 

[Wild Root]

The price was a fair price! Vintage suits are becoming harder to find. That isn't a bad tag for a swell tog!

[Zach R.]

Its most certainly a fair price, hell, I'd pay 4 times that for one in my size.

 

[Wild Root]

And as one should; seeing these are antique to a point. These suits aren't just used clothes; they're true survivors and a link to our history of the greatest generation.

Here the reason, why I wanted a grey hat:

There appears to be a flaw at the left gorge(where the collar and lapel meet) as the collar seems to have been miscut.

 

[Wild Root]

Really? I didn't see anything.[huh]

[Zach R.]

Hmm, that does look a little odd.[huh]

ok, if you girls are going to come in here dressing better than the men there's going to be trouble

 

[Wild Root]

Exactly how are they dressing better then we? They're just dressing as WE do!

Myrna Loy did this for a photo shoot once in the mid 30's.

I have to admit that some may find it a cute thing to do (Women dressing in men's clothes) but, dear Myrna lost a lot of charm wile looking like Cagney.

I am so laughing.

Every time I get something new, a hat, jacket, whatever, put it on and think, "you so sharp, you gonna cutcherself..." Then my wife or daughter puts it on and it looks perfect. And I have to schlump away.

Lauren, you look better in those than any fellow ever could!






PS: I can hear a thousand voices asking "What are those SHOES?" with the blue number...

Back from the Tailor!

Originally a size 38-ish suit now a >36. I had the body and shoulders taken in a bit and the sleeves narrowed. The waist of the trousers was taken in and let out some of the hem. It still has the 2 inch cuffs, though. Soooo here she is- my vintage gray Curlee Clothes suit.

How do you do?

The trousers have dropped belt loops and the rise hits right around my navel. The inseam was originally too short so I had to let out about 1/2". I'm liking them a little short right now. In the pictures I'm wearing them a little higher than I usually would. During daily wear I'd imagine they'd just kiss my shoes.

Excellent

Your tailor does nice work. I like the way the jacket is nipped in at the sides. Great suit and now it fits you about perfectly.

[Baron Kurtz]

there's something wierd about the back of the arms where they meet the jacket body. Could be how you're standing?

nice suit. Love the fabric ...
