Believe me, I know. I have to do this all the time for suits like that, and for Tradtional Boys school uniforms. 

It would be nice if someone would make one, with and without a nice pocket crest :)

So what suits would you reccommend for conversion in WW2?

Well, the DAZ 3 piece suit does have options for different lapels, single breast or double breasted, plus options for different collars on the shirt (just in case you want to do a tux).  I haven't seen any other suits with these extra options.  Plus there's one texture add-on at DAZ (Saville Row) and a nice one at Poser Pro's as well.

I've had the ones for David and M3 the longest, so those are the one's I primarily use. You could use any, but most are limiteed in style and textures.

Most "dressy" shorts seem to fall into the cargo short variety, but most have material options to hide the outside pockets. You could alternatively create a transmap for the dress pants. 

The attached image is a converted suit (D3) converted to Apollo, along with David's cargo shorts and stockings from DAZ's 19th Century Suit, Men's Dress shoes (available at DAZ as well). Or if you have a Poserworld subscription, you could use the Wizard school uniform, convert Laura's shorts and socks/shoes (of the Jschool socks/shoes, which have a modelled cuff). 

Just mix and match until you find the style needed. 

I doubt anyone is going to make a set. Seems to be lost in the "historical" sub-genre, this style of boy's suits. When I asked Steve at Poserworld to make a scout uniform, he opted for the more current style, instead of the traditional 30-50's style (worn until the late 1970's; there are still a few branches that wear them today, though).

I think RDNA had one for past Christmas's as a freebie....go check out their past Christmas gifts.  Sharen

That was a 19th Century style suit with knickerbockers for the original PSboy, plus there were ice skates, too. Makes a nice companion to their Country Courtier and Refined Tastes sets. And it converts well, too ;)

Thanks I'll go take a look.

Yes you are correct, the only reason I mentioned it is it can be conformed easily to short pants and the suit coat and it is nice to work with.
