$795.00
Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing
This is an authentic 1910s 20s era antique mens suit consisting of a jacket and a pair of pants, made of a black wool - it feels to me like there may be a bit of mohair in the wool blend. The jacket to this antique mens suit has slightly padded shoulders, high set narrow notched lapels, a two button front, two button cuffs and has 13” vent at the bottom back. There is a pocket at the chest and a flapped pocket at either side. It is fully lined in a greenish black twill fabric. The pants to this antique mens suit have a flat front and is form fitting with a slim tapered leg. It has a button-up fly and there are buttons to accommodate a pair of suspenders.
Label: Gold Brand Clothes Montreal.
Sizing: No size is indicated, but I think that this antique mens suit should fit about a mens size small to medium, about a US size 36/38, please rely on the following measurements (note the narrow shoulders):
Jacket:
Shoulders: 16” across from shoulder/sleeve seam to shoulder/sleeve seam
Sleeves: 25 1/2” from the shoulder/sleeve seam - there is an extra 2” inside the cuff
Sleeve inseam: 18”
Chest: 41” around
Waist: 38” around, buttoned
Overall length: 30 1/2”
Pants:
Waist: 36”
Leg inseam: 32”
Length: 43”
Condition: This antique mens suit is in very good condition with only two small issues - a tiny tear by the right pocket flap on the jacket and some staining to the sleeve lining (see last close-up photos). Otherwise no other stains, odour, pronounced wear or tear. Given its age, this has been very well preserved.
It’s very difficult to find an antique mens suit in this condition - excellent quality, almost contemporary looking….
