The one that got away...

[Sefton]

The battle 'twas fierce. The war continues...
She was mine up until the last few seconds...yet I live to bid another day.

1938 DB 3 piece suit. I hope she found a home among one of us. Congratulations whoever you are!

?

Where was THAT?[huh]

 

[Sefton]

I found it in: Vintage Men's Clothing,1930-46 (Depression, WWII),Suits.

The person who outbid me was apparently waiting-vulture like-to place a bid in the last few seconds. I don't think I know the words to type that would convey the slow...withering...sound..of...defeat...that came out of my mouth when I lost. Picture Margaret Hamilton as she melts at the end of "The Wizard of Oz". That's close.lol

That's a beautiful suit! I'd be crying if I lost that. Hell, I'm crying just looking at it now!

 

[Robert Conway]

Saw that one and for a moment considered putting a bid in, but I won a suit a few days ago and my bank account was still trying to figure out what hit it, so I passed.

But it is a very nice suit.

Yeah, I swore up an down about that one. It wasn't my size. There were a few nice ones up this week. A lot of 36-38s, though. Have my eye on another three-piece.

THATS IT?

[TommySalieri]

That's more than enough for most folk, Fedora.

Great suit, though. Sigh. You win some, you lose some.

No my friend, I meant that I figured that it would be ALOT more that's all. It is alot of money.

Of course there's no way of knowing what the winner's maximum bid was. Mine was $130. Well, it had a few moth holes anyway

It didn't go for much money, really. I am currently committed to buying a number of suits. Otherwise i would've gone for that 'un. Very nice, indeed.

Once upon a time, I had a jade green/cream herringbone stripe suit whose cut was exactly like this one's. The jacket's waist was very suppressed, giving it a wasp-like effect. The suit looked great on, and no one could mistake it for being modern.

[herringbonekid]

most of this seller's suits seem to have wide shoulders and tiny waists.
i'm slim but 28 waist !?
