SWEDISH 1960S GREY WORSTED WOOL SUIT BY PINGVIN. SIZE CA EU 48-50 LONG (US/UK 38-40 LONG)

DESCRIPTION

This suit is of Swedish origin and was made sometime during the 1960s. The maker is Pingvin. It is made from a grey cloth with a slight mélange effect.

The jacket is single-breasted and fastens with three buttons. It has horizontal front pockets with flaps and a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole in the left lapel, and the cuffs have four buttons. At the back, the jacket is straight-cut and has double vents. Internally, it is fully lined and has two internal pockets, one on each side.

The trousers have a flat front and slightly slanted front pockets. They have belt loops and a zip fly. At the back, there are two pockets: a large one on the right-hand side with a button fastening, and a small pencil pocket on the left-hand side.

The overall condition is very good, although there is some slight discolouration to the sleeve lining. This does not affect the overall impression in any way. One of the buttonholes has also been repaired. Please study the photos and form your own impression of the condition.

SIZE

The suit corresponds approximately to a modern EU 48–50 LONG (US/UK 38–40 LONG). There is some material available to let out in the trousers, both at the waist and in the leg length. Our assessment is that the suit would fit someone around 190 cm (6 ft 3 in) tall, or slightly taller. Please scroll down for exact measurements and seam allowances.
