    It's also worth keeping an eye on Etsy. This one is particularly nice, albeit small formost here I suspect - here.

    I recently picked up a lovely pre-1930 Evening Jacket and Waistcoat complete with 1927 hallmarked silver buttons.

    This jacket is very obviously bespoke, what I find interesting are the proportions. I fits me across the chest and shoulders but is short and the arms so much so that they are some 3-4" too short for me (I'm 5' 9" and wear a standard 33" sleeve). I can't see how this would fit anyone but the most odd shaped individual. Fortunately the quality is such that all the buttons are attached using circle rings and so I can transfer them over to my 1942 Meyer & Mortimer Regulation Doublet.
