15/15.5 cum laude...
Tab collar is rendered useless on a busy patterned shirt like that... who'd ever wear it with a tie?
S/M/L sizing is another strike.

^ Yeah thought so as well, it's nothing I'd ever wear. Would be nice nice with a button-down collar though.

It was probably worn with an air tie back then.
Air ties were the precursor to the grenadine tie, or so I've heard.
The air tie is even older than air socks.
Grenadine ties, though, are the tie-world equivalent of French lisle over the calf cashmere socks.

Great work boys! That's a swell suit Harpo.
If it turns out to be slightly too small/short for you then please get in touch Harpo! (I think you're a little bit bigger/taller than me.)

Would of snapped that up too if I had some spare funds - Lovely buy Harpo.
Thanks boys - I'll put up some photos when I get it (if it fits!)
$10 Brooks s/s. Too bad it's a poly-cotton blend:

It could just as easily be ca. '70s but a perfectly fine looking blousey shirt regardless if it were all-cotton.
Look i don't personally like this sort of thing but i thought it may interest some of you.

A nice Brooks 40R plaid check sports jacket, would look great for spring with charcoal trousers and a repp tie as depicted. At 23" the sleeves are slightly too short for me. Good buy it now price though.
