Edwardian Suit?

Bookster has this at the moment, exactly my size, but not my style.

Fantastic condition. I am amazed at teh condition of the label etc. Even more amazingly, it's not a small size.

That suit is going to make someone very happy.

yes, that is an excellent suit. it has that puritanical, dour look of the pre-jazz age.
i personally don't know anyone who wears that type of four button sack jacket, but there must be someone who does.

Made in Fort William! I can really see a Wee Free minister stomping among - more than likely stomping upon - his flock wearing this suit.

Yes, there's so much to like about the suit like the material, the breast pocket slant, the trousers, but the 4 button jacket seriously puts me off.

The bias-bound upper edge on the trousers is interesting. I think I've only seen that on trousers from the early '20s and before.

Oh my god - what a find! And the price!? A true bargain, but waaaaaay too big for me (which pleases me since I didn't found it until now, when the auction is over!).

I do, but I'm the only one that I know of... Luckily for me who can't afford bespoke, there are still a few companies that make these kind of suits so I guess that I'm not the only one after all.

Well, I just wanted to say that. My first post here.
