DESCRIPTION
This suit is of Swedish origin, tailored sometime in the 1950s, and is made by the brand SIR. It is deadstock, meaning it has never been worn, and still has its original label attached to the left sleeve cuff. The fabric is predominantly grey, with subtle hints of rust brown and blue; however, from a slight distance, it appears simply grey.
The jacket is single-breasted and fastens with three buttons. It features horizontal front pockets with piping, as well as a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole on the right lapel. The back is straight and closed – there is no vent. Internally, the jacket is fully lined and has two interior pockets, one on each side.
The trousers are high-waisted with double pleats. They have slightly slanted front pockets, a zip fly, and belt loops. On the inside of the waistband, there are buttons for braces. At the back, there are two pockets, both with flaps and button closures.
The condition of the suit is near perfect. As mentioned, it has never been worn, but unfortunately, it does show some minor signs of long-term storage. There are a few very small repairs on the back. These do not detract from the overall appearance, but they are visible upon close inspection and should be taken into account when considering a purchase. The price has been slightly reduced as a result. Please examine the photos carefully to form your own opinion regarding the condition.
SIZE
The original label reads “C 50”, which roughly corresponds to the actual size when comparing measurements. However, the fit is slightly smaller – somewhere between EU 48 (UK/US 38) and EU 50 (UK/US 40). It would likely fit perfectly on someone who falls right between those sizes. Please scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.
