SWEDISH 1950S DARK GREY TWO-PIECE WADMAL DEADSTOCK WORKWEAR SET. SIZE CA EU 48

DESCRIPTION

This workwear set is of Swedish origin. The manufacturer is not stated, but the design of the labels makes it clear that it is Swedish. It was most likely produced during the 1950s. The fabric is a heavy dark grey broadcloth, made in England. It is deadstock - completely unworn - and still has its original tags attached to both the top and the trousers.

The top is a classic work shirt with a two-button opening at the neck and pointed collar tips. Each cuff fastens with a single button. It also features a sturdy external breast pocket.

The trousers are flat-fronted with vertical side pockets and a button fly. They have buttons for braces on the outside of the waistband. At the back, there is a single pocket on the left side and a solid metal buckle for size adjustment.

As for condition, the set is completely unworn, meaning there is no wear or damage. There is, however, a slight fading to the top.The strong camera lighting exaggerates the effect of this fading — it is far less noticeable to the naked eye in natural light. Please study the photos and form your own opinion of the condition.
