I fricking love you man. Traded out for this 1987 Bespoke Huntsman which I was going to put in my collection, but turns out Mr. Craig Burr was a well built individual just like me - fits like it was my bespoke, save for a hair short in the arms.

Spoo do you wear the stuff you post in your fitpics out to thrifts? On one hand, I can't imagine someone flipping through the racks in Huntsman and Vass and on the other hand...

When I used to write graffiti, we would go bombing in suits and ties. In the event we were spotted, nobody would ever believe that kids dressed up would be doing such things.

I scored a Hickey Freeman LP Super 150s Madison in a Charcoal with gold pinstripes at Burlington for $150. Not as good as some but not bad for a beginner.

I also got a vintage Walton clothes tailored by Schaeffer grey blazer at Goodwill. Not sure how awesome it is but it fits me and it's cool. Who is Walton clothes?

THANKS!!!
Thank you so much for the VFG link. They're great and I need to poke around there. The oldest I've seen before this one is the blue HT label (like the black one at the VFG) which I think is late 50s.

As for the maker of the pants, no special knowledge needed:

Excuse my naivety but what on earth is a 4pc suit? And I hope your work situation is positive.

First set of bespoke suits x8 seem to be around a 42-44 (tad size too small for myself)...I just threw on a jacket real quick.
Second set of Bespoke suits x3 Hong Kong I believe...I have yet to dig out of the bag and try on for a range estimation before measurements some time next week.

I wish I could say the fourth pair were a set of breeks...but its an extra set of trousers. Still stoke to find anything in a 4pc and especially tweed

Ultimate 4pc would be a True Norfolk jacket, vest, pants, breeks...someday.
