Stylish as can be.  All from PeriodPaper.com

Austin Reed, London, 1935/1936/1937


Full size: 1500x1126
I love love love the coloring in this one.  And the ambiguous arm on the left.  His face, though... that's a bit odd.

Two more below...

If I didn't live in the bloody tropics I would wear long coats and gloves all the time.

I would too. I long for the days when I could put on a heavy wool coat, gloves, and a scarf almost every day.

All three look like book covers for British Whodunits. #1 stars Campion, #2 Lord Peter Whimsey and his faithful sidekick, Bunter, and #3 is clearly the Thin Man. (Who is American but you get the idea.)

well, it's like this...

My favorite of the three is the middle one. The coloring, the style, everything just works perfectly together. The third ad makes me snicker. ;)
