Check to see if there are any buttonholes. This would indeed be rather early to see a zipper in trousers, but by no means impossible. Zippers were quite common by the middle 20s, but usually clunky and industrial, not really elegant enough for a trousers fly.

If there are no buttonholes, though, you have to conclude the zipper is original. And if there are no buttonholes, I would therefore love to see good quality close-up images of the pull, the teeth and the stopper teeth!

Ah but buttons require such elaborations in tongue use that they are also interesting ;)

Got a screamin' deal on this suit. Dated 1932, the seller states that there are some stains. I don't see anything too bad in the photos so I'm hoping they're minor. The listing was pretty new, I got lucky on the timing with this one.

No pics of the back, going to assume it's just a plain back.

Heavy Harris tweed suit

My first post. Here is a Harris tweed suit I found on eBay. It's quite heavy tweed, with large-ish lapels; probably 70s?

That is a SWEET suit!! Best of luck with the stains. With luck, they're all on the inside!! That's the curse of white/cream/ivory clothes...they dirty up so easy...

By the way, what's it made of? Linen? Wool? Cotton?
