Pics of A&S suit from 1935

Steven Hitchcock has some up on his blog: http://savilerow.blogs.com/the_savile_row_blog_spons/

I found them very interesting, and thought others might too. Shows how eternal a classic cut is.

The jacket seems to have more shape than what I expected from an A&S one. But that may just be due to the way its pinned on the mannequin. Very dapper.

I understand that the past bespoke work exceeds even the finest bespoke work done today.

On what do you base that understanding? I've encountered a fair amount of vintage bespoke in my time and, while wonderful in many regards, the pieces wouldn't necessarily inspire me to make that kind of assessment.

Scary - I had the exact same shirt. Purchased at the old Bullock & Jones in SF.
