Show us your suits

[rcb31768]

Button sleeves on suits and sport coats.

I have a very nice 2 button navy blazer (Burberry), I just took it to a good taylor and he made the sleeves into button ones. He is an older gentleman, yes my dad went to him years ago. He informed me that they are called surgeon sleeves, and the got the name from yes you guessed it, doctors buttoning up their jacket sleeves to go to work. Take it for what its worth, yes I am a new user and this is my first post.

Since Dan's here, I have to share a really cool pic of him in some of his vintage:

Hi - just thought I'd bust in for a minute (I'm.new.here) and say, "you all look very snazy."

So.

You all look very snazy.

 

[Matt Deckard]

That last pic reminds me of this one.

Regards,

Dan

Yesterday, December 7th 1941, oops, sorry!

That was a fun party! One of top weddings I attended!

That jacket looks to have a cool wartime Conmar zipper, nice.

Good eye Jake. I love that jacket. I got it from Art Fawcett at his last Vintage Expo show. It's a fantastic jacket.

 

[jake431]

How long is that jacket, about hip-length? If so, I think I've seen one, or one very similar before. If it's what I think it is, it's a 40's sportswear horsehide jacket. Man sportswear was so much cooler then.

Dan great looking jacket. Good eye Jake it does look like a Conmar zipper.

 

[Wild Root]

Great coat Dan and a very cool photo! But, I must remind you guys this is about suits. There is a flight jacket thread or two in jackets.

Let’s try and stay on track ok

[Matt Deckard]

Quite right old chap... To the dressier clothes.

 

[airfrogusmc]

Sorry you know us jacket guys we can get a bit carried away.

Matt,
ya gotta love a bow tie, braces and the monocle . Great look.

My fault. Sorry. Here's one that seems suiting (ha ha. ok. bad joke.)

 

[Matt Deckard]

Is he at one with himself?

I still need a white suit.

 

[Lauren]

that is a FANTASTIC picture.

no, that was the tel-evangelist look.

 

[Big Man]

... that was the tel-evangelist look.

You all need to come to the South to see the REAL "tv preacher" look.

 

[Wild Root]

Grosse.

Lauren, good job! That photo of Dan in his white suit is just perfect.

I don't think Dan was looking for a TV Preacher look. I’d say it’s more of a 1930's villain in a movie.

Regardless, good photo!

Root.

 

[Lauren]

Yeah. I think he looks pretty dapper, myself!

I was referring to the "angelic" pose he was striking more than anything else
