What do you think of this suit...

[Sly Style]

Its one that I have located online that ought to fit me fairly well. Its not true vintage, its an imitation, I am already aware of that, but was wondering what the greater assemblage thought of it.

Hope you don't mind a ladies thought on your suit but, I think it looks very sharp!!!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Sly Style]

Thank you, I haven't purchased it yet, only considering, but I welcome anyones imput, especially considering since it it is a more modern suit styled in vintage fashion.

I say buy it. I like the 6x1 buttoning as well.

 

[Tomasso]

I prefer 6x2 but a 6x1 is classic, as well.

I have to say, I'm not a big fan of the 6x1 double-breasted look. Somehow the fit and the lines don't seem as flattering as a 6x2 coat. Even done as well as possible, with the drape cut and the beautifully rolled lapel in that 1941 illustration, they just don't quite do it for me. Remind me too much of awful '80s jackets, and the fact that it's well nigh impossible to find anything else in thrift shops these days.

Looks pretty sharp to me, Sly

I say go for it! It might not be vintage but it does have the look of the right style about it.

I quite like the jacket on Cary Grant, especially since the lady has chosen to be next to him. Wonder what exactly was the kind of jacket he was wearing.

saying she's impressed, I'd say listen to her.

Very nice suit. I just wish the seller had one big enough to fit DH.

CG appears to be wearing a lapel-less sportcoat.

CG sure did get jiggy, sartorially speaking, in "The Philadelphia Story".

What is going on with his sportjacket? Is this about the time that he started trippin' ?

"So you think you're strong, boy? You're using two, but I only need to use one. In fact, mine is supporting her center of gravity, and I'm using just my left bicep."

My, they seemed to have experimented with all kinds of lapels and cuts during the 1930s. Could it be because cloth was so cheap during the Great Depression? And does that mean the next Golden Age for Gents Wear will be due soon by next year?

It looks like it's just pressed that way, am I right?

I like it, whose the vendor and the maker?

 

[Sly Style]

I remain sincerely,

I like it.... however the trousers leave me in doubt - They look a little too short.

 

[Sly Style]

They are correct for my leg length as per the measurements on the vendors website, and I am certain they could be let out a bit if necessary. We'll see when it arrives.

I remain sincerely,
Benny K.
