DESCRIPTION
This suit dates back to the 1950s and is of Swedish origin, produced by Rytterqvist. The cloth is British, from Reid & Taylor. The jacket has a three button single breasted closure, horizontal pockets with flaps and one breast pocket. It has a plain back with no vent. It is fully lined and has four inner pockets, one large on each side plus two smaller one on the left side. The trousers are single pleated and has diagonal front pockets. They have zipper fly with hook closure in top. The suit is perfectly wearable, but the condition is far from perfect. There are discolorations in the lining, especially in the pockets. There is also a repair to the trousers on the backside, not very noticeable from the outside though. Please have a look at the images and evaluate the condition.
