Vintage SB suit pics?

[matei]

Hello all...

I got hold of some nice grey wool material yesterday, and I'll be off to me tailor in about 3 weeks to have another suit and some trousers made.

Would anyone happen to have any pics of a vintage, single-breasted suit that I could reference? I've used the search function and I've gone outta me mind trying to find a few decent ones.

That being said - the pics that Wild Root and Matt Deckard posted showing the difference between modern and vintage armholes are invaluable. I will be printing those out to bring with me!

... so, I would be extremely grateful if someone could direct me to some pics with vintage sb suits!

would that be peaked or notch lapel ?

2 or 3 button ?

Preferrably peaked, but notched would be OK as well - save that they're not the wee ones that are in style today!

and don't forget this website which has many fine modern examples of the peaked 30s style, and other styles. takes a bit of trawling however...
