With the arrival of Spring and warmer weather right around the corner, I offer this great early 1950s suit by Palm Beach.
This suit is in excellent condition, no moth holes or stains. It is a rare burnt brown color with slubbing in the material, a common feature during the 1950s. The jacket is 2-button closure with three patch pockets and a single short vent in the back. The trousers are pleated with wide cuffs and a zipper and snap crotch closure.
The Palm Beach label is not the older gold and white style but it does date before the rights to Palm Beach were sold in the mid-'50s.
So, with the 1949 union tag and the info that this suit dates before the rights were sold, we're able to narrow down the era to the early 1950s.
The lining is 1960s-style shiny sharkskin material, a really neat touch.
Jacket:
Length- 31.5"
Arms- 24" with 1.5" to let down
Pit to pit- 22"
Shoulders- 19"
Trousers:
Waist- 34"
Inseam- 29" with 1 3/4" deep cuff that can be let down to produce 3.5" in length along with an extra 1" in the hem. Potential for a 33.5" inseam.
Rise- 12"
The first photo shows the color accurately.
A perfect sleek vintage summer suit, just in time for the warm weather.
$175 plus shipping in the U.S. and internationally. PM if interested, Paypal only.
