thanks for the infromative reply!
I live in Paris but couldn’t find any vintage stores. I will try some thrift shops and then enay if I can’t find anything.
I have similar measurements too and after watching Purple Noon I couldn’t help but fall in love with this era’s style, and particularly the way the suits were cut back then.
Did you happen to find any nice thrifts for vintage suits? I've grown an unhealthy taste for 90s suits with roped shoulders, low collars and angled gorges/lapels. :embar:

I am confused. Purple Noon came out in 1960 ,yet you cite 90s suits.

I'm well aware of Delon's acting record (hey, my first short film was dedicated to M. Delon). I was asking in general about thrifts in Paris that carry suits, being that OP is from France and specifically Paris I asked. I'm well aware that Plein soleil is a 60s film and that Delon donned 60s suits in the film :dozingoff: I thought I'd hijack the thread to ask about 90s stuff, which is still vintage.
