TALL, VERY SLIM?

[Baron Kurtz]

If you are, i can point you at an NRA jacket and waistcoat in perfect condition. Great price.

Waist coat is 36" chest (apparently). jacket approx 40 chest DB. 31 inch long jacket.

Would buy myself but jacket is too long for me. Not up for bids on everyone's favourite auction site.

Very rare, very rare. Roll up, roll up, offer ends tomorrow

...

I won't be back online until the morning.

First come, first served, as they say ... But i'll give the info to everyone who asks.

Besides being great-looking, this is a classic example of a non-drape (or should I say "pre-drape"?) suit.

What's NRA, apart from the American legalise-killing lobby organisation, and the British National Rivers Authority?

It's gone. Someone bought it in the night. $80, what a deal.

Cheers. So, an NRA suit would be simply be one from the first half of the thirties, or is there more to it?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Nope that's all there is to it. 1933-early 1936, then the '36 union tags started being used.

NRA suits will have this tag. This is from an overcoat of mine:
