Vintage 1940s 1950s Double Breasted Suit Grey Striped Wool Jacket Trousers

 Description:

Vintage DB suit made by an unknown tailor, circa late 1940s or early 1950s. Medium weight wool cloth in charcoal grey with stripes of lighter grey & dark red. Double-breasted 4x2 (i.e. one button to fasten) jacket with broad 5" peaked lapels, quite heavily padded shoulders, fitted waist, no vents, welted chest & lower flapped pockets, cuffs with 4 decorative buttons - fully lined in black rayon/acetate with ivory striped sleeve linings .  Trousers are full-cut & wide in the leg with double inward pleats, side slip pockets, flapped front cash & rear hip pocket, elasticated side waist button adjusters, brace buttons & button fly, turn-ups.

Shirt & tie not included.

Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.

Condition: In good solid condition overall, but with signs of wear & some small holes: the jacket has a small spot of wear below the l/h lower pocket, 2 spots of fraying on the right cuff, 2 small holes on the right sleeve (near the back seam 6" above the above the cuff), 2 spots of  fraying on the bottom edge at the centre back - the trousers have a hole about 1/4" long on the left front crease at about thigh level, some smaller pin-head holes near the bottom of the fly, a small hole on the right front crease at crotch level. In my opinion the smaller holes would be hard to see when worn; the larger ones would be quite easy to repair discreetly. The trouser legs appear to have been narrowed slightly - the seam allowance is intact so they could be let out again if desired. There are a few faint marks & the suit has a slightly musty smell. Size: Suggested 38" Regular/Slim All measurements are external, taken with the garment laid flat, to be doubled where appropriate (with approx. metric equivalent): Jacket Chest - armpit to armpit: 21" (53.5cm) Shoulder to shoulder: 19" (48.5cm) Shoulder to cuff: 24 3/4" (63cm) Armpit to cuff: 17" (43.4cm) Waist: 20" (51cm) Back length - base of collar to hem: 29 3/4" (76cm) Trouser waist: 15" (38cm) [about 1 1/2" to let out but you would have to cut the 1-piece inner waistband] Inside leg: 31 1/2" (80cm) [1/2" to let down without using the  turn-ups] Outside leg: 44" (112cm) Rise: 14" (36cm) Leg width at hem: 9 3/4" (25cm)
