Found this at the thrift shop today. Great fabric and buttons.
That looks like a Jazz suit to me. with the 'belly' in the waist area.

My newest one. German (it has the tell-tale rear suspender buttons on extender tabs and a keyhole buttonhole on the lapel); I'm guessing about the middle 1930s, based on my comparisons of the lapel shape with dated British examples.

Lovely. I'd definitely wear it!
Due to the lower button stance and the longer lapels the placement of the gorge doesn't seem to be as low as on Baron Kurtz's jacket.
Are there any vintage suits in Omar the tent maker size? (60 size jacket, 56x30 pant).
Also where can I find some vintage hats etc?
Now imagine my emotional state when I learned - not really unexpectedly, but hope dies last, no? - that the pants were 2" too short on me...
Some people don't seem to like those scalloped yokes as they think it makes the jackets look too western-like but I really love them.
^Excellent suit. The Germans really had a thing for the scalloped yoke. Love it.

interesting thing about that suit is how the front gives very little idea of what the back will look like. most American fancy-back jackets have patch pocket fronts to go with the overall 'sporty' feel. that front is very clean. maybe the topstitching around the lapels being the only giveaway that it's a sportier model.
