Description
- Very rare genuine early vintage tweed suit.
Good example, I think this is possibly from around 1920. I have had plenty of 1940's suits and this just looks earlier than those.
No labels , bespoke, heavy hardwearing tweed. Great traditional trousers.
Hard to find these especially all intact with no major effects.
The outer material is all one shade and fine, photos may show some shading , thats just the photos.
Study photos
