Late 50s atomic/rock-n-roll style. Even has patch pockets. Sort of a holy grail find for me, they don't come along in size 48long very often. I love the upholstery looking fabric.

One I picked up nice and cheap from Ebay. Really interesting. Not dead old my any means, probably 1980s at the oldest. Peaked lapel, 4 button, 4 pocket (although the breast pockets are false) with a full belt. Cotton, half lined, by 'Parkes'. Never heard of them myself.





I really like it. It has little-to-no inner construction, the shoulders are very soft, and it fits fairly well.
Maybe the Ebay listing does it better justice.

The only issue is that the leather/cardboard buckle on the belt has disintegrated. Anyone know where I can get a similar replacement. Or if anyone has one lying about I can buy off of them? :)
