This vintage suit was made in the late 1960s-early 1970s by Hart Schaffner & Marx during a brief revival of 1930s belt-back styles. While many from this period have scalloped pocket flaps and other 1970s detailing, this one plays it very close to the originals. It is made of brown wool tweed with a rust colored overcheck. It has patch pockets, and a belted, pleated back. The jacket is half-lined.

1930s Armorknit overcoat

This vintage overcoat was made in the 1930s by Armorknit and was sold by Kennedy’s under their “Club Clothes” Label. It is marked a size 40, but has a 52″ chest measurement, placing it squarely in larger territory. It has a 1936 union tag, which places its date of manufacture between 1936 and 1939. It has wide notch lapels, raglan shoulders, and button cuffs. There is a chew on the hem near the corner, and some staining to the lining near the label. This is some of the weightiest overcoat material I’ve felt- it really lives up to the “Armorknit” name.

Kingsridge 1940s suit

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Spencer Stewart

The trousers of suits always wear out first. They take the brunt of the wear- that’s why some used to come with two pairs. This former three piece suit from the ’40s became a two piece for that very reason.
