DESCRIPTION
Unfortunately, this suit no longer has any labels, but we can still confidently state that it is of Swedish origin and was likely made sometime during the first half of the 1950s, or possibly a little earlier. It is crafted from a striking brown striped fabric in various shades of brown.
The jacket is single-breasted and fastens with three buttons. It has horizontal front pockets with piping and a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back of the jacket is straight and lacks a vent. Inside, it is fully lined and has three inner pockets—one large on each side, plus a smaller one on the left side.
The trousers feature double pleats, slanted front pockets, and belt loops. They have a button fly, and inside the waistband, there are buttons for braces. The trousers have cuffs. At the back, there are two rear pockets, both with button closures.
In terms of condition, the suit is fully wearable; however, there are several fabric damages. These have been professionally repaired, but they remain visible upon close inspection. The fabric of the suit is unusual, and it will be easy to combine it to create stylish outfits with, for example, brown and green tones. One must simply overlook the fabric damage to achieve this. The fabric is of a type that draws the eye to the overall look rather than individual details. The price has been set with these damages in mind. Please carefully study the images and assess these damages before making a potential purchase. Otherwise the condition is good in general except for some minor staining in the lining.
SIZE
The suit is between a modern EU 50 (US/UK 40) and EU 52 (US/UK 42). The waist of the trousers is slightly smaller than this size, but it can be let out a little. However, even with this possible adjustment, you should have a fairly slim waist in relation to shoulder width for the suit to fit well overall. Please scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.
