1930s/40s Navy Pinstripe 3-Piece suit, 38-40R

[Orgetorix]

Came across this beauty today and couldn't pass it up. It has the 1939 union tag, and based on the styling I'd guess it's no later than the mid-40s. It's in fantastic condition - the jacket and vest are pristine, and the trousers only have two or three very, very small moth bites in the crotch area that wouldn't be visible when worn.


I'd estimate the size as 38-40R.


I'd like to get $300 for it. I could put it on Ebay, and I'd expect it to do well there given the moderate size and good condition, but if a Lounger wants first crack at it, so much the better.

Repair on seat of trousers:

Very small holes in crotch area - not visible when worn, & easily fixed if you want.

P.S. As a bonus, I'll throw in the vintage wool tie pictured, as well.

Also, p.s., price is OBO. I'm always open to offers.

Very nice fabric on that one! You don't often see them that old with such tight stripes.

Where exactly is that repair on the seat of trousers? Is it very noticeable? How big is the repair?

 

[Orgetorix]

Here's a larger version of the photo, though it's still hard to see. It's about an inch to the left of the seat seam, about three inches or so below the level of the pockets. The repair itself is maybe a half-inch long. I can't imagine it'd be very noticeable when the suit was being worn, and depending on how the seat fits you it could potentially even be taken in to hide it altogether.

I hurt my eyes looking at that suit.
