Where are those signs now when I need them?

That suit seems to have only the lapels lobbed off... So much that they cut past the button holes! I've seen modernized 40s suits but, they just cot off the peaks of the lapels... but the upward button holes are still there! Boy, that suit got knocked for a loop!
A friend of mine bought a 40s suit that's from England or Germany and it still is a double breasted, but the lapels narrowed and, get this, they rounded off the bottom corners at the opening of the coat... much like a single breasted coat, what a shame!
Now, what I want to know is why the original, or second owner felt that the fancy back of this coat was "IN" but the lapels weren't?:eusa_doh:
If I only had a time machine, there would be some serious #@$% whoopin' goin' on in the 60s-80s! lol
mike said:If you truly had a time machine, you could go further back in time than the 60's. So you could collect all the back belted suits, jaw dropping shoes, etc and go anywhere in time with the coolest stuff ever having extremely exciting adventures! Don't focus on the negatives lol
Forgotten Man said:Yeah, but I'd take a pit-stop in the 60s to teach those wise guys a lesson! Or I'd open a men's shop and offer half off of a new suit when an old suit was turned in! ;-) Now, that's the way to do business!

Mike ... in that last post of yours, I'd swear you were channeling Nathan Marsak. That's exactly how he thinks.
Oh, and here are some of his things: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=11577

Marc Chevalier said:Yup ... the sheer size, quality and rarity of Nathan's vintage '20s-'30s menswear collection leave us all behind in the dust. Seriously.

mike said:Were those his shoe collection you posted a few weeks back in the show us your shoes thread of incredible 30's shoes as far as the eye can see?
Most importantly: Why isn't he on here?
Marc Chevalier said:No, Nathan didn't end up with any of those shoes -- they weren't his size. Most of them went to Japan.
Nathan posted here once. I think he's more interested in conversing with vintage super-experts. There aren't enough of them around here ... at least not anymore.

Yep, I bet he'd love to sit around a table and pick the brains of a dozen lucid centenarian haberdashers.Marc Chevalier said:It can get boring when everyone's asking him questions, while no one is teaching him anything new.
