Shoulders look a bit big to me.

Damnit, that's what I thought too. And that can't be fixed, correct?

But it's a BB 38 Short! What the hell!

Corneliani ID coat back from the cleaners. Yes, I normally would have buttoned the 2nd down and tucked the pocket flaps in, but I was losing light so

Jacket is most certainly black, though some colors show it a bit warm due to using the house for some bounce fill. Seems like a decent piece right?

Measures approx:
P2P 20
Length 30.5
Sleeve 25ish

That's exactly my size. Sleeve length and all

So hey people, I passed on a Pendleton SC from 1967 that was NWT (!). Wool, pattern was this khaki/sky blue plaid that looked like rec-room couches made of space age polymers.
THere isn't a collector market or some other odd SW&D market for this, right? Nataku? Bueller? Anyone? Do I need to go back and pick it up?

Any NOS (New Old Stock - basically anything old with the tags still attached) Pendleton stuff is worth grabbing unless it's women's. That stuff I'm not too sure about.

Not easily. 38 is the chest... shoulders are variable based on style / cut.

That whole outfit with the hat was just screaming for a dog track backdrop.

Great work man, I missed it by about 10 minutes. I now demand that you post everything you find like that.

HUGE Shout Out to gmmcl on a trade!

Tie is thrifted and shirt was off SF B&S


About as good a fit as I can ask for without getting it tailored yet (need waist taken in for sure and right arm up a 1/2" I think).

Question...having never worn a vest, are the collar points suppose to be under the vest (like under the jacket collar) or over the vest?

 

[horse's_ass]

Over the vest. I think a shorter collar or a differently shaped collar (e.g. cut) may serve you better, at least in regards to the suit posted above.

Agreed, thanks. Not a fan of the collar but was the shirt in front of me so tossed it on.

Also picked up a Fendi Suit (dual button peak lapel unvented) and a BBGF suit & a Ben Silver Tie for me. Oh yea and some shoe trees

I just bought this Sammy blazer on eBay. Thoughts? Lapels a bit wider than I'd like, but gorge is good, nice handwork on the lapels, and nice MOP buttons. Plus the measurements (if correct) are basically spot on for me.
