Burtons 3-piece Dinner Suit

[Two Types]

The vendors have listed this as 1960s. By the label, I would guess it to be 1930s or 1940s. Hopefully, one of you out there who are very familiar with Burtons labels will be able to work something out from the last photograph.

Unfortunately, they forgot to give any measurements.

It has a nice low starting price of £7.99.

Message sent to seller to see what the heck size it is.

Some moth holes noted. In serious need of cleaning.
After I received an unwearable rag (former college blazer) from a british seller (who mentioned "some moth damage") I am not going to risk it again.

You might just have a point there.

They have finally posted measurements

Inside leg approx: 32" (82cm), Waist approx: 31" (79cm). Belonged to a very very slim man so chest measurements possibly approx: 36" (91cm)

It sold for £12. That's not a bad price for someone - let's face it, you'll see people selling just the waistcoat for more than that. So even if the jacket and trousers are more ridden and the waistcoat is ok, then the buyer might still be happy.
