This is a lovely example of a late 1950s tuxedo!
Made by "After Six" in their Philadelphia factory, this is a classic shawl-collared tuxedo with a single button front. It has subtle darts for shape, and a single center vent. It is fully lined and half-canvassed and has a single center vent. It has three button cuffs. All of the buttons are original and intact.
The trousers are pleated and uncuffed. They have no belt loops, but feature buttons for suspenders on the outside of the waistband.
They close with their original Conmar zipper.
There is a very small snag hole on the left-hand side of the jacket, near the side seam. I only found this when measuring--I didn't detect it while photographing--so it is inconspicuous. The tuxedo also needs a dry clean--there is surface dust on the shoulders and the trousers from storage, although this can easily be removed.
This tuxedo is thus (conservatively!) in Good/Very Good condition.
Asking just $39, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
