SWEDISH 1950S MEDIUM GRAY TWO PIECE SINGLE BREASTED WORSTED WOOL SUIT BY KABOM. SIZE CA EU 50

 DESCRIPTION

This suit is of Swedish origin, made by the brand KABOM, and was sewn sometime during the 1950s for the Bergmans chain of menswear stores, which had several locations in Stockholm. It is made from a medium grey worsted wool fabric with a twill weave.

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 on the left lapel. The back of the jacket is straight and lacks vents. Inside, the jacket is fully lined and has three inner pockets—one large on each side and a smaller one on the left side.

The trousers have double pleats, vertical front pockets, and belt loops. Inside the waistband, there are buttons for braces. They feature a zipper fly. At the back, there is a pocket on each side, with the left pocket fastened with a button.

The condition is overall very good, with no obvious signs of wear, aside from some light discoloration in the lining. However, this is not visible when the suit is worn and does not affect the overall impression. Please examine the pictures and form your own opinion of the condition.
