This is a dated 1943 Richman Bros. DB Suit. Another internet purchase which I never wore, and have decided to sell. I think I'm just too tall to wear it properly.


This one's SOLD, folks. Thanks for looking.

Measurements
~~~~~~~~~
Jacket:

chest - 19.5"-20"
waist - 19"
length - 31"
shoulders - 18"
sleeve - 26"

Trousers:

inseam - 32"
waist - 31" (can expand about 2")
rise - 12.75"


I had trouble capturing the color accurately with my camera, but the wool is a soft, ash blue flannel with navy and faded white alternating pinstripes.









The suit is in good condition, and has been cleaned, but it does have it's share of problems, which I'll try to point out in detail below...

The principal issue is a moth hole where the right lapel rolls over ; this could be rewoven, or the lapels pressed so it isn't visible (you'd lose some lapel width, however):


There is a .5" tear on the inside of the jacket , not visible when worn:


Some damage here on shoulder lining, inside jacket; rest of lining is intact and in fine condition, however:


Pinhole on back of jacket, left side:


Pinhole on right trouser cuff:
