Vintage store finds

[Johnny J]

Sunday I went to check out this vintage clothing store not too far from home and I found and bought these three coats. Let me know your thoughts:

Love this fabric!

Looks like the date is Jan 14, 1950.

Coat #2:

I like the lining on this one.

Coat #3

This one almost goes with these royal blue 1940s hollywood trousers I already had. Coat has patch pockets.

I especially like the brown d.b.

I especially like the brown d.b.

Yes, I like that one too. But I think I like the light color Hart Schaffner and Marx the most. It has a nice thick fabric.

I really love the style and fabric of the the HSM blazer (and it looks like it fits you perfectly). If it had matching trousers, I'd like the brown db quite a lot, too.

Great jackets all. What is your size, if I may ask? A 40 Regular?

Either a 38 or 40 short.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Thanks! My guess is that the Hart Schaffner & Marx jacket is a 37 Short.

 

[Johnny J]

Thanks! My guess is that the Hart Schaffner & Marx jacket is a 37 Short.

Probably, cause it does fit a tad smaller than the others. Thanks for your observation Marc.

Well I went into American Vintage in Sherman Oaks the other day and bought my first Tweed pants! But, I'm not sure with what coat I can wear them with. I have only two that might go, so let me know what you guys think:

These are the pants:

Coat #1

Coat #2

Hi

I like the second example, dk brown db with the lighter pants. Not enough contrast with the first pairing.

Johnny, I hate your waistline. Not the height -- the circumference. Grrrr.

(Oh.... looks damned good, man.)

I like my waistline--I get more material for my money.

I really like the dark brown DB with those trousers. Good look!

Like the tweed pants - do they have buttons for braces/suspenders?

Sharp looking, I also like the ship in the bottle!

No suspender buttons, but thanks.

Also, how wide should the cuffs be on these pants? Suggestions?
