    Hunting for \"Rat Pack\" suits???

    I have a client who is a performer and is looking for (Rat Pack) suits. Any site recommendations would be great or if you have anything let me know? He is looking for "affordable" as he has other buddies that are also looking for performance style attire. Thanks!!!

    It also may help to know what "affordable" means to you. :)

    good point, Kristine

    some think that $50 is a fortune for a vintage men's jacket, while others know that $300 is reasonable for a good sharkskin

    Under $300

    34 waist (32) inseam unless it can be altered
    Maybe a 38 or 40 R Jacket
    If it is a suit with the range and potential altering is a good thing.

    If you have anything currently on your site, may I send them your site addresses?

    If you have a blue suit in that size, you can contact me here or at FFJ. Thanks for all your help!!!

    Perfect just went to your site!!!:USETHUMBUP: And sent a view email through eBay!!! Keep them coming...

    AmandainVermont,
    Just sent him an eBay view of that suit. Thanks a million!!!

    Vintagemerchant,
    Loved the blue jacket in that selection. He pays a ton for alterations, so they would be too large. Thanks for sending them. I would really like to get on your email list though or do you send newsletters.

    Ladies, I posted a message below this post. I have been so pleased with every response that I have received. I still think that a "your speciality list" would be a great source for all of us- when we have those (most wanted) needs.

    Think about it and put your input in. I have already offered my help to do some leg work:excited:. Be sure to check out that post. Thanks again for all your help if you have some more hidden suit treasures, send them our way!!! Denise
    (Warmest Regards)

    well, Denise you are a sweetie!

    currently don't have a newsletter, but you're always welcome to stop by the shop(s) anytime! yep, noticed your post about a specialty list, think its a great idea :eureka:, although many of us would may have more than one specialty, i think it WOULD be helpful

    kind of a monster to organize, but it is a good idea :headbang:

    I have many many men's rat pack era jackets. I have two on Ruby Lane right now and I'm staring at a closet full of them that I haven't had time to go through. Check out the two I have on Ruby Lane if that is the style they are looking for and they want a bunch I might make them a deal they cannot resist.
