DESCRIPTION
This suit bears no labels, so it is not possible to determine exactly when it was made, but all indications point to sometime during the 1950s or 1960s. It is not of Swedish origin; most likely, it hails from the British Isles. Based on the details, it could plausibly be English, Irish, or Scottish. It appears to be made bespoke.
The fabric features threads of red, yellow, blue, and brown – but the overall impression is a brownish-green. It has a subtle wide striping that remains visible even from a distance.
The jacket is single-breasted with a three-button fastening. It has horizontal front flap pockets and a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back is straight and closed – it does not have a vent. The interior reveals fine craftsmanship; in fact, it's primarily the inside that leads us to believe the suit is bespoke. It is fully lined, with well-constructed piped interior pockets on both sides.
The trousers feature gently slanted front pockets and belt loops at the waistband. They are zip-fly, with one buttoned, piped pocket on each side at the back.
The overall condition of the suit is very good. It appears to have seen little wear, with minimal signs of use on the interior. There are faint discolourations inside the trouser pocket linings, but otherwise, there is little to remark upon. Please study the photos carefully to form your own opinion of its condition.
SIZE
Converted to modern sizing, this suit falls between an EU 52 (UK/US 42) and EU 54 (UK/US 44). The trousers are relatively generous in fit, but there is no extra fabric to let out in either length or waist, so it's important to ensure the size is suitable as-is.
