This piece was made in the 1930's and is a beautifully tailored suit.
Made from medium weight smooth wool, the fabric has a very faint pinstripe. It is single breasted, fastening with 3 pearlised buttons, has a deep neck opening and wide lapels. The skirt has an inner grosgrain waistband, fastens with a hook and poppers down the left side and two pleats in the front and back. The jacket is fully lined, the skirt is unlined.
A timeless classic of the era.
