Even so, a careful examination allows us to draw certain conclusions. It was most likely made in Sweden during the early decades of the 20th century. It is almost certainly bespoke, having been tailored for a specific individual, not least judging by its sizing. Please see the \"SIZE\" section for further details. The ensemble is made from a densely woven black wool cloth, entirely typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eThe coat is a frock coat, long in length with a straight-cut skirt. It is double-breasted and fastens with three cloth-covered buttons. Each lapel features a buttonhole, and the cuffs are finished with two matching cloth-covered buttons. Turning the coat around, one finds two buttons at the waist. The way the back has been cut and shaped to create a well-defined waist is a decorative feature in itself, beautifully demonstrating the tailor's craftsmanship. The coat has a deep centre vent extending from the waist. The interior is fully lined and fitted with a single inside pocket on the right-hand side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1555\"\u003eThe waistcoat is very much of its period, with a shawl collar and a relatively low fastening. It fastens with four cloth-covered buttons and has a breast pocket on the left-hand side. The lower row consists of one pocket on each side. The front is cut relatively straight across the bottom. At the back is an adjustment buckle for altering the fit at the waist. The waistcoat is lined with a striped cotton fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1557\" data-end=\"2212\"\u003eThe trousers have a flat front with no pleats and feature vertical side pockets. They have braces buttons fitted to the outside of the waistband and a button fly. At the rear is a single pocket on the right-hand side, together with a buckle for adjusting the waist. The trousers also feature a \u003cstrong data-start=\"1851\" data-end=\"1873\"\u003efishtail waistband\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning that the rear waistband is split where the braces buttons are attached. On closer inspection, it is also evident that the waist has been let out at some point. This alteration has been very neatly carried out using the original cloth and is barely noticeable, although it can naturally be identified by the position of the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2214\" data-end=\"2839\"\u003eOverall, the condition is very good, particularly considering the garment's age—it is well over 100 years old. There are, however, a few minor points worth mentioning. There are a number of stains, most of them on the inside, although a couple are visible externally. It is possible that these could be removed with further cleaning, but we cannot guarantee this. Otherwise, the imperfections consist mainly of staining to the linings of both the frock coat and the waistcoat. The trousers also show a slight sheen to the seat from wear. Please examine the photographs carefully and form your own assessment of the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2849\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2849\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2851\" data-end=\"3771\"\u003eAs mentioned above, this is a bespoke ensemble, meaning that the three pieces do not correspond precisely to a single modern size. Judging by the chest measurement, the frock coat corresponds approximately to a modern \u003cstrong data-start=\"3069\" data-end=\"3089\"\u003eEU 48 (UK\/US 38)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The waistcoat is slightly larger, corresponding approximately to an \u003cstrong data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3179\"\u003eEU 50 (UK\/US 40)\u003c\/strong\u003e. As noted above, the trousers have been let out at the waist, making them considerably larger than the other two pieces if judged solely by the waist measurement. In their current state, they correspond approximately to a modern \u003cstrong data-start=\"3409\" data-end=\"3429\"\u003eEU 56 (UK\/US 46)\u003c\/strong\u003e. If the alteration were reversed and the added wedge removed, they would most likely correspond closely to the size of the frock coat and waistcoat. It should also be borne in mind that the rear waist adjuster allows the trousers to be tightened, enabling the waist measurement to be brought more closely into line with the other two pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3773\" data-end=\"3839\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003ePlease scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSweden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100% wool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/2947\/5735\/files\/skiss_enkelknapptkavaj.png?v=1736958401\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJACKET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eChest (A) : 53 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaist (B) : 50 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSleeves (C) : 63 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulders (D) : 42 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal length (E) : 100 cm (96 cm measured from neck seam)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/2947\/5735\/files\/vastplaggskiss.png?v=1650318624\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e WAISTCOAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eChest (A) : 51 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWaist (B) : 47 cm \u003cspan\u003e(with adjusters fully open)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eShoulders (C) : 36 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTotal length (D) : 57 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/2947\/5735\/files\/Skiss_kostymbyxa.png?v=1736958514\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTROUSERS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaist (A) : 51 cm (with adjusters fully open) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength (B) : 104 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInseam (C) : 73 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCuff width (D) : 22 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeam allowance trousers waist: 3,5 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeam allowance trousers length: 1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
