For sale here is a very rare early century style suit in a heavy charcoal fabric with broken pinstripe and twill lining. The age/style of the suit is extremely hard to find, in fact we’ve never had one like this. This is a day suit but made with the high fastening three button Edwardian shape you more commonly see on separate jackets. The suit is probably mid 1920’s with a pleated leg which became the norm during the 1930’s but with the jacket style of the previous generation. Sleeve – 25.5. Length – 30.5. Chest – 21.5. Trousers – 38 (they look like they were originally smaller and we are happy to take these back in to the required size) x 29″ (Its a proper turn up so you could make a false one and gain 1.5″ or, and this may be better stylistically, taper and lengthen the trouser and lose the trun up , effectively backdating the trouser style to match the jacket). The jacket is a fitted 42 as was the style and the trousers would correspond if taken in an inch to where they were originally. Over the last five years we have put together a collection of menswear with the aim to have the archetypal, most typical and most stylish example of all styles of coat, jacket, Blazer and Waistcoat from the twentieth century. In addition we have tried to find’ proto’ pieces, items of clothing which show creativity and changes in fashions. In order to help out the fashion industry we have only kept 38 and 40 regular fits (you can’t copy Bespoke unless you know it’s a regular fit). There are a few exceptions to the size rule but not many. Cloth can contribute to the item but is not the primary focus. The condition of the clothes isn’t important but some of course will be excellent and ready to wear. The three designations for condition are’ poor’,’ good’ and’excellent’. If you are intending to wear the items then really ignore all but’ excellent’. Of course you can keep the items if you prefer. The archive is in storage and so will be expanding as time allows. These items only make it in to the archive if they are particularly special, perfect examples of styles or of peaks in sartorial history of costume in the UK. Of course this is not a complete library and we are always looking for new items.
