It's a finnish Kruunu tailored suit jacket. Not very old, I'd say 50's or even 60's.
It's yet another 1€ jacket

I'm kickin' around a few ideas. I'm being interviewed by a newspaper about my tie collection tomorrow.

For a day attempting to repair the inadequacies of organisation in a friend's wedding, I am sporting a pair of modern dark grey-mix with burgundy window pane check tweed trousers, mid tan brogues and burgundy socks, an orange-and-brown on cream tattersall check shirt, burgundy tie and matching suspenders and a three-piece grey-mix tweed cap. Unfortunately the weather has been stinking, with the native rain of Scotland- it looks like mist but it drifts in any direction so that it moistens everything that dares step out of the house- and so I also had my 1976 Burberry trenchcoat. I hope to post a picture of the two piece green borders-twist tweed suit and my new two-and-three-eights brim fur felt fedora that I am expecting to arrive from Christy's of London in the next few days. Until then, thank you for having me.

Though I want to get you away from the frig and the dog bowls for your photos! All of that distracts the viewers attention away from you. Any blank or less busy wall or door space- are you working with a tripod?
You are quite a looker! And you have a great eye for colour, too.sproily said:That last one with the bowtie looks like a real winner to me, Quigley!

thunderw21 said:Mike, with that 'stach you look a lot like the Michael from Road to Perdition. You wear it well. Nice jacket too.
Wore this today:
The tie is pleated, from the '50s:
mike said:thanks Will! I really dig that jacket! What's the back look like?
thunderw21 said:Hey Mike, it's a plain back.
mike said:Any info on when it could be from? It's got a great cut to it which would make one think it would be a pre-50's more box cut jackets, but the collar isn't all that substantial to appear 30's...? [huh]
And are those front pleats?!
