Well, let's face it. The guys in the illustrations in the cutaway coats and striped pants and canes withe moustaches look great. But who could really pull that one off?

I could, at least that is what I think....except the moustache.

I'm quite aware, but there is not alot of people or posts on that website.

I'm kind of mad no one will tell me because I really like Marc and thought he had alot to offer. I know I am being nosey but this is kind of personal and wish someone would just pm me about this. That way I could leave this at rest with out this whole "conspiracy."

To be clear, I meant Ask Andy About Clothes, not Club Cad, which is what I think you thought I meant. :)

There is no conspiracy involved. If a member is no longer active that is their personal business to share or not.

We should respect that.

I think Metro simply got confused because Matt had earlier said that he would not allow Marc to return.

I think he was quickly banned from that site, but I have no idea why. it is too bad, because in his week as a member, he added more content than the place has seen in a year.

Weird!! (and by the way, hi Matt, "topbroker" from AAAC and SF here, but you undoubtedly figured that out).

Now if we could only get Iammatt to post some pictures of his outstanding wardrobe. Matt, if there ever was a "Style Council", you would be on the Board of Directors.

Thanks, Marty.

I have nothing vintage, and perhaps am a bit out of sync with the prevailing style here, but if I can think of any interesting pictures, I will be sure to post them in this thread.

Yes, I got really confused and thought Matt was serious. No need for me to dig deeper. I do hope he comes back though, and I will leave it at that.

There is no conspiracy... Marc is actually just on hiatus, yet I'll be cataloguing his attire until he sees fit to return.

Can you guys date this?

Looking at the union tag it's pre-1949. But you might have already known that. Others who are better at the details will have to chime in here if you want a more accurate date.

Whatever it is, I think I'm in love with it...beautiful fabric, that.

thank you! It's a very strange material though! It almost feels like a sport jersey material! that's not the best connection, but I'm not sure what to compare it to otherwise... :eusa_doh:

Looks late 30's early 40's

Very straight lapels on that one.

Well I look forward to your opinion on the material next time we see each other then! Union Tag and cut is one thing, but I just can't identify the fabric, it's like no 30's suit material I've ever felt. :eusa_doh:
