Here is a cuban sportcoat; I wouldn't be surprised if this once came from a suit.
Fantastic coat, resortes. To me it looks classically 30-40's... fabric, chest pocket, button stance, waist suppression... everything.
Except the lapels and collar... I'd venture a guess and say it was trimmed down (with new lapel buttonhole) during the late 50's or 60's.

(or some mixture of wool / cotton / linen ).
Well done. That is certainly a very unusual one. Your first Japanese suit, I presume?
I read your blog: how bad are the paint marks?
