    Glorious charcoal double breasted belted action back suit jacket with vest.

    A rare piece indeed! It has a center vent, which I thought wasn't put onto double breasted jackets until the 1960's.

    I really like the fabric - and the pleats on the waistcoat:

    Wow, this one is really stunning. I dig the three inverted action back pleats and the pleated patch pockets. The fabric is great, too. Why don't they weave stuff like this anymore?

    Very nice in many ways. I second the wish to have such a great vareity in heavy cloth again...
