SWEDISH 1960S DARK GREY TWO PIECE SINGLE BREASTED SUIT BY STRÖMS. SIZE CA EU 48-50 LONG

DESCRIPTION

This suit is of Swedish origin, from the brand Harrington, and was made by Ströms, a well-known name in Swedish menswear, one of the few still operating a store in Stockholm. It is made from a solid dark grey fabric, typical of its time. The jacket is single-breasted and fastens with three buttons. It has horizontal flap pockets on the front and a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back is straight and there is no vent. The jacket is fully lined and has four inner pockets: a large one on each side, plus two smaller ones on the left side. There is a gusset in the lining at the back, which suggests that the jacket has been let out at some point. The sleeves have also been lengthened, which is noticeable in the lining at the cuff.

The trousers have a single pleat, belt loops, and diagonal front pockets. They feature a button fly and fasten with a hook-and-eye at the top. On the back, there are two pockets, one on each side, both with button closures.

The exterior condition is overall very good, with no visible damage to the fabric. It is not torn in the lining, but the alterations made can give a slightly "patched" feel. This, of course, does not affect the overall impression of the suit when worn. Please study the pictures and form your own opinion on the condition.

SIZE

In size, it corresponds to a modern EU 48-50 Long (US/UK 38-40 Long). The jacket has had the sleeves lengthened, and the trouser legs are also long. We believe this suit will fit best on someone who is at least 185 cm tall. Please scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.
