I am completely stumped by a suit that I recently acquired.
It's a very sharp 3pc DB suit, with nice wide lapels and pant legs. Very fine tone on tone herringbone tweed with a very subtle pin stripe. Inside label reads 'Made to Measure Expressly for: L. Saito' with a date of November 1950...
As a vintage dealer, I have a whole list of 'holy grails'. And one that has been on the top of my list for years is Ceil Chapman. Last weekend (on my birthday, no less!!) I finally found one! And guess what? It fits me like an absolute glove!

The dance studios around here are for kids/toddlers...
I've had this suit for quite a while now. Jacket is fully lined in black silk (not shattered, if you can believe it!) Very light padding at shoulders. Straight cut pants with a satin pinstripe down each side. Button fly, watch pocket. Deep cut vest with a cool pattern. Not a label to be found...
