[RomanImperator]

All items are negotiable so please make offers, also I will consider trades for vintage fedora's with a 2 1/4" Bound Brim ONLY in size 7 or 7 1/8

Beautiful early 50's Scott & Co. New York Forstmann Blue overcoat. Very nice conservative overcoat; 40% virgin wool, 30% cashmere, and 30% Guanaco with beautiful grosgrain/silk hand stitched button holes and lapel hole that contrast beautifully against the coat, original large blue buttons with heavy duty stitching holding them on. Also features nice cuffed sleeves, one inside pocket on the right hand side. ACWA Union tag with red numbers and no "R" trademark dates it from 1949-1961 but the style and cut definitely screams early 50's. No moth damage, only missing one small button on the left sleeve cuff, not noticeable and easily replaceable with a common small blue button. No stains on the coat noted anywhere leading me to determine this coat is in very good - excellent vintage condition. Obviously there is some wear due to age. The coat may appear black in some pictures but it is a lovely shade of blue, lighter than navy blue, some pictures reflect the blue color better than others so be sure to see all pictures carefully.

I am 5' 11" - 6' 150 lbs and wearing a size 33" sleeve in the pictures. Also I typically wear size 40 coats or 38 for a snug fit so please judge accordingly. I would estimate this coat to be a size 38 with a 32" sleeve. Truly a must see in person to appreciate.

$200 Or Best Offer. I accept Paypal or I will list my item on Mercari and you can order it there, I'd prefer the latter.

Next a Remler & Salzman 140-2 Stanton St. New York beautiful charcoal grey and black pinstriped suit. 3 button Single breasted suit features a high gorge perfect for the 40's, early 50s look even late 30s. 1949 ACWA Union tag with no R dates it between 49-61 but definitely appears to be an older style. Matching pants are pleated and cuffed, featuring a Lance zipper. Plenty of room in the jacket and pants to be let out to a larger size.

Negatives: Jacket is missing the lowest button, also has one moth bite on the back just under right shoulder as noted in the pics. Stain on the bottom right also noted in pics, might come out with a good dry cleaning.

Approximate measurements: 36" chest, 29" highest point on the jacket (top of collar) to lowest point, 30" sleeve inseam. Pants: 38" long TOTAL LENGTH including 1 1/2" cuff. Waist is approx 28"

$120 or best offer.

Next up a Beautiful 50's Peak Lapel Midnight Blue dinner jacket and pants. Midnight blue was a common alternative color for black as in certain lighting a black dinner suit would appear green. The dinner jacket features wide boxy 50's shoulders and the large wide peak lapels shape screams 50's. Double breasted, 2 by 1 button jacket, matching pants do not have a grosgrain ribbon going down the sides but are definitely the original pants. Lapel hole is open and features a small elastic band on the opposite side for holding a flower in place. Talon zipper. Forstmann produced the fabric and has an Eldridge distributed by Harry Rothman Fifth Avenue logo with a 1949 ACWA union tag with red numbers and no "R" logo dating it between 1949 and 1961. Two small moth holes on the right sleeve noted in the pics and small flaw on left lapel bottom. A good dry cleaning and Pressing and this will be Fantastic 50's Evening wear!

Approx measurements: 21 1/2" pit to pit, 33" sleeves, 33 1/2" highest point to lowest point
PANTS: 32" waist, 34" inseam, plenty of room to be let out or taken in.

Pictures were taken under bright LED lighting, suit may appear black but it is really a dark midnight blue.
