SWEDISH 1950S DARK GREY DOUBLE BREASTED TWO PIECE SUIT BY COLLIJNS. SIZE CA EU 46-48

DESCRIPTION

This timeless classic suit is of Swedish origin, made by Collijns, likely in the second half of the 1950s. It is crafted from a gray fabric with a subtle pinstripe pattern. The jacket is double-breasted and has two rows of buttons, one of which is used. It features horizontal front pockets with pocket flaps and a breast pocket. There is a buttonhole in the left lapel. The back is straight and lacks a vent. The jacket is fully lined and has three inner pockets—one large on each side, plus a smaller one on the left side.

The trousers have a pleat and slanted front pockets. They have belt loops and a zipper fly. There are two back pockets, each with a button closure.

The condition is generally good, except for some discoloration in the lining, particularly around the armholes and the crotch area. Please look at the pictures and form your own opinion about the condition.

SIZE

The jacket fits between a modern EU 46 (US/UK 36) and EU 48 (US/UK 38). The trousers are slightly smaller in terms of waist measurement, but there is plenty of extra material that can be let out to match the size of the jacket. Please scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.
