Here's the latest from the Kurtz wardrobe. Again, stuff that doesn't fit me. (See measurements below to check if it'll fit you.) Probably measures up to about a 37-38 slim.
Judging by the style and features, this probably dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s, and is a subtle dark blue and black check pattern. In quite heavy weight wool and terylene mix, very much a suit for the tall, thin Mod enthusiast.
3 button front with skinny notch lapels. Trousers have button fly, flapped watch pocket in front and no seat pocket. From what i can see it is in utterly flawless condition.
Jacket
Chest: ~20.5"
Waist: ~18"
Shoulders: ~17.5-18"
Length: ~30.25"
Arm: ~25.5-26"
Trousers
Waist: ~30"
Outseam: ~43.5"
Inseam: ~31"
Cuff: no cuff, measure 9.625" across (19.5" circumference)
The trousers have a very 'British' era-shape with slight rise to the back and little taper into the cuffs.
The front of the trousers is very classic in the British tailoring sense. Extender tab closure and button fly, 2 forward pleats, and flapped watch pocket. Buttons of the classic type.
A sign of the encroachment of modernity into the hallowed halls of the British tailoring shop is the introduction of interior suspender buttons.
Made by John Collier. Note the polka dot lining, another hint at a thawing of the Brit tailoring establishment towards the end of the 1950s.
These little labels you'll find inside the inner pocket of most British jackets from the 40s and 50s. The sometimes give the date, but this one doesn't, just a da of the week, but no year.
As always PM for details of pricing, shipping etc.
