| A 1930s 3-piece suit, made for a client who owns and runs classic cars. I made the mistake of saying vintage cars once, but they aren't old enough to be called that!. He wanted as close a match as he could get to an original 30s suit that he had once owned. This is real tailoring! I cut a modern pattern (to allow for the modern figure), which I then shaped to match a 1930s suit. The suit, which is made in pure wool suiting, is fully lined, interlined and padded. The trousers have a button fly, two front pockets, and turn ups at the hems. The waistcoat is made without collars or revers, but with watch pockets. It has a false (lining fabric) back, and an adjustable back belt. The jacket has two flapped pockets, in addition to the visible handkerchief pocket. It has a back vent, and fully functioning buttons at the cuffs. I must thank my customer for supplying a photograph of the finished article. |
