THREE PIECE SUMMER TWEED 1920'S VINTAGE SUIT - BUTTON FLY TROUSERS - DATED 1927 - MATHESON
EXTRAORDINARY 20's vintage three piece, two button single breasted bespoke suit. Remarkable tweed fabric! Most 1920's men's suits are more traditional in dark or muted tones.

Rounded patch pocket angled onto left chest. Two rounded stylized patch pockets with flaps lower. Hidden ticket pocket inside right pocket. Raglan shoulder seaming. No vent back. All original faux tortoise celluloid buttons, 3 at cuffs, 6 at vest. Tan light weight wool 1/2 lining and seam finishings. Four welt pocket vest. Tan light weight wool vest back, ecru cotton twill lining. Breast pocket at lining. Flat front button-fly trousers. Continuous waist. Inseam wide belt sheaths. Bound coin pocket below right front waist edge. Side seam pockets. Sculpted button flap left hip pockets. Button tab at inside fly. Vegetable ivory buttons at fly.
