1952 Dinner Suit

[cookie]

I bought a fantastic black barrathea cloth bespoke 1952 dated dinner suit (aka tux) for my young son but the little bugger is already too big!

It is like a 36/38R though the pants have been taken out to 36 but could be adjusted back. There is no sign of mothing and it is all you would expect with the 1940s style wide pointy lapels with the dull satin style treatment. Total Golden Era job.

No pix at the moment but I am wondering whether there is any interest from Loungers as it has to go...no rush as I am off to the snow!

Yes, I'm the first to say I'd be interested for my husband!

More info please?
