It was originally sold by the menswear retailer Hompes, located in Katrineholm, a small town approximately 140 km south of Stockholm. The fabric is rather striking — a wool cloth with a strong blue tone and a distinct light blue stripe. Fabrics of this kind were particularly common during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"446\" data-end=\"961\"\u003eThe jacket is single-breasted and fastens with two buttons. It features horizontal front pockets with flaps as well as a breast pocket. The fastening point is relatively low and the lapels are generously cut, with a buttonhole on the left lapel. An unusual detail can be found at the cuffs, where each sleeve has a button on either side, giving a slight impression of cufflinks. The back is plain and closed, without a vent. Internally, the jacket is fully lined and fitted with two inner pockets, one on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003eThe trousers feature double forward pleats and slightly slanted front pockets. They have belt loops and a button fly. At the rear, there is one pocket on each side, both with flaps and button fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eIn terms of condition, the overall impression is good. Upon closer inspection, however, a number of imperfections become apparent. There is discolouration to the lining in both the jacket and the trousers, and one of the front trouser pockets has a hole. The most noticeable issue is a couple of repairs to the trousers. These do not greatly affect the overall appearance, though a professional reweaver could make them even more discreet if desired. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own impression of the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1xwbhmo\" data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1712\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"2096\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe jacket corresponds to a modern\u003cstrong\u003e EU 48–50 (UK\/US 38–40)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
