DESCRIPTION

This is a highly unusual suit, rarely seen on the market. It is uncommon in its own right, but what makes it even more exceptional is its large size. Unfortunately, no labels have been preserved, but we can say with considerable confidence that it was most likely bespoke-tailored in Sweden sometime during the 1930s. Due to the lack of tailor’s labels, we cannot say more about its exact origin. However, we would like to add a caveat that the suit could potentially be of British origin. The fact that the lining has been replaced makes it more difficult to determine its provenance with certainty.

It is made from a heavy greenish-beige tweed fabric and would be best described as a leisure suit, with many characteristic details typical of this type of attire. It features large external bellows pockets and a breast pocket.

The jacket is single-breasted with broad lapels and fastens with three buttons. There is a buttonhole on the left lapel. The back is belted and has what is known as an action back, allowing for greater mobility. The interior is fully lined; the lining has recently been replaced and is in excellent condition. The jacket has two inside pockets, one on each side.

The waistcoat is single-breasted and fastens with six buttons. It features four front pockets – two at chest height and two lower ones. The lining of the waistcoat has also been replaced and is in very good condition. It has an adjustable strap at the back.

The trousers have a single pleat, slightly slanted front pockets, and a button fly. They feature what’s known as a belt tunnel, meaning the belt runs partially hidden through a channel along the waistband. Inside the waistband are buttons for braces. There are also side adjusters for waist adjustment. At the back, there is a pocket on each side, both with flaps and button closures. The trouser legs are finished with turn-ups.

When assessing the condition of the suit, it's important to understand what kind of garment this is. This is a leisure suit, likely intended for the outdoors – woodland walks or similar – and often used in that way, which is reflected in its condition. This is also why so few of these suits have survived; they were simply considered too worn and were sadly discarded.

With this in mind, the suit is in remarkably good condition for its type. That said, it is not without flaws. There are areas of damage to the fabric in several places, and there are also some repairs. However, due to the heavy and mottled nature of the tweed, these imperfections are, if not invisible, then at least much less noticeable than they would be in a finer fabric. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own opinion of the condition – all flaws have been carefully documented. All of these flaws are noticeable when closely examining the affected areas, but the overall impression of the suit remains good.

Overall, this is a type of suit that very rarely appears on the market. We’ve had it in our collection for several years but have only now decided to offer it for sale.

SIZE

As mentioned, this is a generously sized suit. Based on the chest measurement of the jacket, it corresponds to a modern EU 58 (UK/US 48). However, in terms of length, it does not fully match this size – for example, the inside leg on the trousers measures just 77 cm. A relatively square or boxy body shape is ideal for a proper fit in both width and length. Please scroll down for exact measurements and seam allowances.
