We know that it originally came from a theatre's costume department, but little more than that is known. It was evidently made to imitate the prevailing style of tailoring around the turn of the twentieth century, and it does so rather well. Many details are recognisable from the period: the slanted breast pocket, the exposed edge stitching, the four front buttons, to name but a few. Naturally, however, it was not made at that time. Looking at the lining and a few other details, we arrive at the conclusion that it was most likely made sometime during the 1940s, or possibly somewhat later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe jacket is single-breasted and fastens with four buttons. It has horizontal front pockets with flaps and a slanted breast pocket. There is a buttonhole in the left lapel. The cuffs have turn-ups, typical of the period it is intended to imitate. At the back, it is straight and closed, with no vent. It is fully lined, and this is where it differs most noticeably from the period it is meant to represent: the lining is constructed more like that of a 1940s jacket than one from around the turn of the century. It has no internal pockets – on garments intended for film and theatre, such details are often omitted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe trousers are high-waisted, with a flat front and vertical front pockets that follow the line of the side seams. They have a button fly, and there are buttons for braces on the inside of the waistband. There are also belt loops. At the back, they are plain, with no back pockets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt is worth noting that although this suit was originally made for the theatre, it was produced at a time when even theatrical costumes were made with great care and attention to detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe overall condition is good. There is some discolouration to the lining around the jacket's underarms, but naturally this is not visible when worn. There is some damage to the lower edge of the left trouser pocket which is worth noting. It has been repaired, but can be seen if you know where to look. There are also a few mismatched buttons among those that are not visible, such as the brace buttons. There are slight signs of wear to the cloth along some of the edges – authentic! – something that is often seen even on genuine garments from the period. As for the cloth itself, its texture and handle are of the kind one might expect from a suit from around the turn of the century, albeit in a somewhat more eccentric colour. If you are looking for a fiery orange turn-of-the-century suit, you are unlikely to get a better chance than this!
