Suit Grey

[Matt Deckard]

Picked this 1940's suit up at Meow in Long Beach.
You'll see it in New York!

Deadstock with tags.

One of the styles that I have sought for a long time. Plain old grey pinstripe double breasted.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

Wow! That is a beauty!
Man, I love dead stock. Congratulations.
I can't wait to see it on. Great find.

I love the peaked lapels on vintage suits; the line of the break in the lapels forms an almost horizonal line.

Great looking suit. Those goggles will go perfect with it too.

 

[Feraud]

A very nice suit! I look forward to seeing it in the Big Apple.

 

[Barry]

Nice suit, Matt. I look forward to seeing it too.

I just need to find one for myself! Thought I had a winner tonight but I think the jacket might be a long based on the descriptions.

Classics never die!

Classic Grey Pinsuit Double Breasted Suit!
Even the Bulgarian judge gave it 9 out of 10!

(Actually, this is the type of GPDBS that I have been dreaming of finding only in my size 52R! Heck I can't even find a grey one.)

 

[Matt Deckard]

An old standard for any man's wardrobe.

OH MY GOSH!

That is a fantastic suit. No kidding; you hit the jackpot. May I ask what size it is? My heartiest congratulations!

Are you absolutely sure you can't join us at The Derby this Sunday night? Aw, c'mon -- put on your new suit and go there! Please ...

 

[Matt Deckard]

Others may be able to go out and have fun this weekend, though none of those are me.

Trust me... others are trying!

The suit is a 40 reg.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

The size is great ... and even better, it's yours!

Matt, we're missing you already. Lots of photos will be taken; I guess we'll just have to Photoshop you into them.

Come to the next one, then ... in your grey suit!

deadstock with tags !
you lucky devil.

 

[Mr. Rover]

Shexy- i just had one made like that, but it doesn't compare in any way to a vintage dead stock...phew.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Just imagine the suit is grey.

I love her outfit too!

That's just mean, Matt

Now why'd you wanna go and make me cry?
I try to avoid envy but that is one root suit.
The fact that is my size adds another tear.
I'm sure enjoy it and take care of it.
Cheers.:cheers1:

It is a "Root Suit"

Funny, I was with Matt and I showed him the suit. He loved it and bought it right there! Funny thing is, I've owned a DB striped suit since 1998 of the exact same fabric and cut! And, it's the same brand! The only difference is the size and my trousers have pleats. It's one of my favorite suits!

Hi Matt,

Great looking suit. Please pardon my newbieness, but what does dead stock mean?

 

[Wild Root]

It means...

"Dead Stock" Is another term for "New Old Stock" Meaning, its old but never used. It was never sold, or used. It's still old but by age.

Say, Tommy is with his friend and they're exploring an old warehouse. They happen upon an old box full of suits from an old department store that existed in the 1930's or 40's. The suits still tagged and pressed in the box. The suits were in perfect condition seeing they were never used or worn. In this case, they were new! But, since they never sold, they were known as being "Dead" in stock because they didn't move off the shelf. Also known as "New Old Stock" or "N.O.S"

Make sense?

I wear a 50L and 40 by 32 pants with a 17/35 shirt, I'm screwed for ever finding anything vintage.

Thanks Root. I figured that might be what it meant, but I just wanted to be sure.
