Ok folks, I've got another one to sell. It's an early 50s two button number made by Gentry for J. C. Penneys. I know Penneys got the Gentry label in 1946, but lapels seem kind of narrow for that period. It's got me stumped anyhow.
(Click the photo to see the whole album. And let me know if you need anymore pictures.)
The Jacket- It has 3 patch pockets and a single, short vent in the rear. The fabric is very lightweight, given it's age, which makes me think this was a summer suit. It's skeleton lined, with no rips, tears, moth holes, and it smells just fine.
Bottom of collar to bottom of jacket: 31 1/2 inches
Sleeve length: 25 inches
Chest: 46 inches
Waist: 44 inches
The Pants- They have a hollywood waist with 2 inward facing pleats and 2 buttonable rear pockets. There is also a watch pocket at the top seam of the waist. There's no room to let these out anywhere, unfortunately.
Waist: 39 inches
Length: 44 1/2 inches
Rise: 12 inches
Width of cuff: 9 inches
PM for details.
