if you mean (as i think you mean) two watch pockets that probably indicates its not British as i've only seen that done on German or Italian suits (but there's always exceptions).
difficult to date it without seeing photos. as you know, British men's style was a slowly evolving beast and although peaked lapels were more common in the 30s and 40s that style could also be found throughout the 50s though dwindling in popularity.
please post some photos if you buy it !
Thanks. It does have two watch pockets, mind you I have a number of British suits with this feature. Looking at your earlier post of the catalogue shot from the 1930s (single breasted, peaked lapel, single button) I recalled that the jacket closes with a button on a shank (if that's the right word). thus it appears very similar to that jacket.
I will certainly post pics if I buy it. The argument will be: do I sell it (I'm sure someone will want it) or do I keep it for my son (12 years old) who has already told me I should find some good vintage suits ready for when he gets older. It's a difficult question!
