up to 2 kg worldwide €19.50
up to 5 kg worldwide €36.-
up to 5 kg EU-wide €17.-
#1:
1938 British bespoke 3-pc peak lapel alternating pinstripe suit by Kenneth Hardie
€180.-
- hard finish worsted wool, heavier weight
- alternating tripe light blue and reddish/cream double broekn pinstripe on a light navy ground
- enforced hip pockets welt (see pics), very sturdy construction
- just a few tiny holes, see pics
- waistcoat rear seam repaired
- waistcoat could be let out by inserting new fabric to the center rear seam
- just cleaned and pressed by my trusted drycleaner who presses everything by hand
- full liner with an extra pocket on the left side (like a ticket pocket on the inside)
- English full cut trousers (rise, seat, thighs)
- looks like a 38 date on the tailor's label, but the cut is older, in the fashion of the early 30s with short, slightly flared skirt/ hourglass waist
- a rare-to-find early cut, bought at the Spitalfields vintage market in London
