Baron Kurtz said:A beautiful example of a 1940s western suit jacket. I thought i saw this one, and it was with a pair of trousers? The waistband treatment will be amazing! Crossed or tunnel belt loops, horizontal pockets, the works.
I have a suit in a very similar style, but without the action back.
People are saying it looks 70s because of the stitching around the edges of the lapels and collar. This is a look that the 70s actively tried to copy, and it's one way to get cheap vintage from the eBay sice many people who don't really know their stuff will shy away from this stuff (the stitching is by no means limited to western wear.).
If nothing else, the labels should certainly tell you this is old.
