Another early '50s double breasted, also currently for sale. By 'Bond'. I love the subtle color and pattern of this suit. Seems like it was either barely or never worn, fabric is still 'crisp'. Love it.

Lucky you! That's a perfect timeless suit that you will be able to wear in every era without looking costumey!
I've been looking for a good flannel suit for years but no luck so far!
It will be an awesome suit with alterations, for sure. This suit clings on to the bygone years from the Bold Look era. Tapering the pants will have to be a MUST, and "tapering" the sleeves wouldn't hurt. But for the price I paid, it will be all worth it. I bid you good luck on a great vintage flannel suit, I suddenly understand the hype. Fabric is amazing!
