I think this nifty suit is probably no older than the 70s, but the fabric is similar to that of some 20s-30s suits I've seen. It's wool, thick and somewhat stiff rather than drapey, with a smooth, hard surface that's almost like felt. There are no labels in it, other than a small tag inside the interior pocket that says 100% wool, so it may have been custom made. It's in excellent condition.
I really like this suit and it fits me perfectly, but unfortunately, the trousers are too short and I can't lengthen them. I took down the hem and had them cleaned and pressed, but the original crease still shows so they'll have to be re-hemmed to the original length (30"). I'd like to get $45.00 + postage, but I'll always consider trades if it's something I can use.
Here are the dimensions:
Trousers: 34 X 30
Jacket: Half-Sleeve 25", Back Length 30.5", Across the back, mid-shoulder seam to mid-shoulder seam 17"
The bottom picture is closest to it's true color.
