JACKET FEATURES & DETAILS
(there are 24 pics altogether to illustrate)
This is a quite simply stunning top Polo Ralph Lauren vintage suit three piece suit. Certainly one of the finest suits I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and one I don't really want to let go, but sadly opportunities to wear it are few. The quality of the suit has to be seen to be believed - observe the heavyweight textured wool shell, the way the stripes line up in near perfect symmetry throughout, the stylish peak collared waistcoat, the branded braces buttons, the sweep of the peal lapels across the suit, the high waist 1940's style trousers, there are even two inside anchor buttons instead of the usual one to keep the shape of the suit exactly as it should be.
Polo Ralph Lauren started to produce menswear in the late 1960's early 1970's and I would suggest the suit was from the early days of the company history, it has the ACTWU union label inside which disbanded in 1995.
This suit is indeed a rare find, especially a three piece and this sale offers a very rare opportunity to acquire it.
