A beautiful condition English Gentleman's Dinner Suit from the 1920's, by Barkers of Kensington (London).
The dark Barrathea wool fabric and silk lining shows no moth nips nor tears at the usual areas of underarm, crotch, sleeves and bottom of the pants.

As you can see from the photos, the jacket has the wonderful silhoette / hour-glass tailored cut to the waist, whilst the shoulders are typical of the 20's Gentleman's cut jacket, showing finer narrower shoulder padding than the later 30's and 40's trend.

Beautiful silk covered buttons on the sleeves and to the front. Silk facing to the Peak Lapels. Button fastening fly, with exterior buttons for braces/suspenders.



The trousers/pants are tapered towards the shin and ankle, as was the 20's fashion, with a good high fishtail back to keep the kidneys warm!



Gentlemen, this is a fine, fine garment for those who enjoy the Era of the 20's and have been looking for a 'great condition' wool DJ/TUX from that interwar Golden Era Period.
ALSO...it comes in it's original box (see photos) and original 20's tissue paper - Amazing eh!!

Paddy, if you were a tad wider, or were I a tad slimmer, I'd have this off you in a trice...
Looks terrific...

Thankyou it really is a prize specimen of that Gatsby / Flapper Era.

Lovely tux, Paddy.

If only it was a 42L I would snap it up,

I cannot believe how a 90-year-old suit can be in such almost perfect condition without any tears, thinning or moth bites!! Beggars Belief..! But someone's going to be a happy owner!

Smashing dinner suit Paddy, if only it were my size!

I know.Thanks for appreciating it. It is an absolute solid 'stunner' of a suit. Needless to say, it's been fully dry cleaned as well.

PS - The 1928 Cadillac headlamp light is not included! Just the Dinner Suit Nice try Gents!

Thanks

Doh! wrong size.......42S please!!!

A few people have asked via PM, 'Paddy...can the jacket be widened?' I'm afraid not Gents, and I wouldn't even advocate to trying that, especially with such a beautiful specimen of formal wear for that 'Golden Era' interwar period.
If this shoe fits, "then" take it

*Still available Gents*

Cheers.

Question: Do you have to be an immaculate 2 piece gentleman to wear it?
(I know, I know. . . Couldn't stop myself.)

Absolutely Dan - thankyou
