$42 cord brooksgate (almost) three-piece, a near holy grail for me.

shame about the missing pants and hole in the jacket.

a good pressing shold turn it out nicely though:

That is fugly, nice material mind, but not feeling the rest of it Oli, that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for you, you're the golden boy when it comes to stuff like this. I'd look like a grade A nobber.

Oliver · 2012-07-28 11:51:51

Would be nicer if it were a Makers in a 3/2 getup without the darts, but I've been after a cord sack suit forever and the patch detailings and honey color look killer imo. It could definitely stand some tlc and should've been properly pressed out before ever throwing it up on etsy for sure!

The Thin Repp · 2012-07-28 11:56:50

I wish I had one of these in my size.

Aye, love the colour, not sure on the SUPER LAPELS! Sure has that 70's look. You could chuck it with some brown 5 pockets with a boot cut, and get a 70's vibe going, pair of dessert trek, and a roll-neck for added style? Something I could see you or Servo in. I'm won over

Oliver · 2012-07-28 11:59:15

That's stunning, Zach!

I'm not sure how I missed that listing but if you ever run into another in a 37/38, could you please shoot me an email? I'd do anything for that suit!

Leer R. · 2012-07-28 12:30:03

I like that darted Brooksgate stuff, but that cordsuit is too 70's for me... I'd have too short hair - but I can imagine you in it, Oliver. Like Oo Bop said, with Desert Treks or Desert Boots... or heavy Brogues and a rollneck... cool.

hipster scum modeling what appears to be a vintage pair of bleeding madras bermuda shorts:

Probably longer there, but today I "found" it:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/95892832/1960s-tan-corduory-norfolk-style-sport

Unfortunately I'm quite outta money. *§Q$/)(/$%*

Dunno which of the two jackets would suit me better...

One For Bop · 2012-08-01 03:27:37

i could see both working on you but prefer the first one mate.

Leer R. · 2012-08-01 03:50:06

Also very nice.

One For Bop · 2012-08-01 04:07:29

it's not the 70's Leer!

Leer R. · 2012-08-01 04:22:54

Oh, I really like the 70's!

This could be for me, too - might be a tad roomy, but not too much - Oo, what do you think?

It has something "grandfathery" that's nice. The last one I posted is the nicest in a conservative way... Hm. My wife hates the hunting jacket. I like it, she hates it. Hahaha...

One For Bop · 2012-08-01 07:51:43

I don't hate it, just makes me think 70's porn director.

Black footy buttons are great, it'd suit your colouring, ie Black hair, wear it with some black flannels, black shoes, then work pink and black in there, like Zach has done it'd make a cool look.

Leer R. · 2012-08-01 08:00:52

Gonna think about all that...

Beatnik's ghost · 2012-08-01 09:51:14

I'm actually looking for some black leather football buttons for a jacket very similar, if anyone knows where to source them?

Goodyear welt · 2012-08-01 10:23:35

Try putting FOOTBALL BUTTONS into Google, or, if you don't have access to a PC you should be able to find some in any quality haberdashery or specialist button shop.

Beatnik's ghost · 2012-08-01 10:53:18

Thanks for that Goodyear, but I was really looking for some original old buttons...
