Arc 173 Vintage 1940's Burtons navy blue suit size 38
For sale here is an almost caricature 1940’s suit. It is actually relatively rare to find a suit in the style that is known to be synonymous of that period. For example we haven’t had a covered button, tonic, slim legged 60’s suit for at least two years. This suit is everything 40’s – it has a 23.5 hem! , a huge lapel, tight and short body and short trousers. There may be a name for the style we are unaware of but its that’ tight short jacket with massive trousers with no break’ look – it just roles off the tongue. I think my Grandad got married in a very similar suit although I think his look came from putting on weight and growing taller after the war, and not affording a new suit. Chest – 19.5. Trousers – 34 2 x 29 TU. Trouser sizing key – waist spare at waist x length spare at hem. A slim 38 jacket with a short body and a relatively large trouser waist. The arm is a decent length though, denoting the true height of the jackets original owner (despite what some people like to think arms are almost always a very accurate measure of height). Over the last five years we have put together a collection of menswear with the aim to have the archetypal, most typical and most stylish example of all styles of coat, jacket, Blazer and Waistcoat from the twentieth century. In addition we have tried to find’ proto’ pieces, items of clothing which show creativity and changes in fashions. In order to help out the fashion industry we have only kept 38 and 40 regular fits (you can’t copy Bespoke unless you know it’s a regular fit). There are a few exceptions to the size rule but not many. Cloth can contribute to the item but is not the primary focus. The condition of the clothes isn’t important but some of course will be excellent and ready to wear. The three designations for condition are’ poor’,’ good’ and’excellent’. If you are intending to wear the items then really ignore all but’ excellent’. These items only make it in to the archive if they are particularly special, perfect examples of styles or of peaks in sartorial history of costume in the UK. Of course this is not a complete library and we are always looking for new items. The item “Arc 173 Vintage 1940’s Burtons navy blue suit size 38″ is in sale since Monday, August 13, 2018.
