Well, I guess I am dealing in mens vintage now. The price was too good not to pick up these up. I can't decide if I want to sell them online or put them in my antique booth. I apologize for the quick and ugly photos. I did not want to go through the process of dressing Biff if I wasn't sure I was going to list them!

I'm thinking 80s on the first three.

#2 This one almost looks like sharkskin because of the way it catches the light, but I'm not sure.

#4 - Is this considered "Shadow Plaid"?

From looking at completed auctions, I think the double breasted and three button jackets are more sought after than the two buttons. Do you think these are worth listing??
 
The last 2 look 70s to me.
The first appears to be a late 50s early 60s. You can usually tell by the label.
Check for the "sewing machine" label and the most of the time the older vintage did not have labels at the neck. Just at the inside pocket.
They should all sell if they are a good size.
I will U2U a good site for reference on mens clothing.
 
Carrie, I agree with Suzanne on the datings and to check the inside pockets - the first three look like they're hand tailored so they should have a tailor docket that will have a date if you're lucky.

I'm in love with some of those linings! Especially the thread and needle one and the geometric early '70s one. I think the last one is early '70s too - they should do well for you.
