A true holy grail suit. 1930's Single breasted peak lapel, belted back with a conservative but interesting dark pinstripe weave. Basically my dream suit.

Rare early example of the no lapel buttonholes look. Was it a wartime material saving thing?

Mint condition and quite a good BIN.

Pretty decent BIN for such a suit, I've seen the jackets sell for that alone.

I have heard of button fly's being used on suit pants in the '50s. I've also seen examples of skinnier lapels in the late 1940's, also in contrast with the fact that it's a larger size suit.
Posted again because the last post posted itself before I finished the title.
