It doesn't give the size. I wonder what the dimensions were on that suit. WC was not exactly a thin man.

Regards to all,

W.C. Fields was only about 5'-7' or 5'-8" tall, so it shouldn't be too big of a suit.

Most of his life he was actually fairly trim, it wasn't until the alcohol really got to him that he blew up, from about 1939 to 1940 was when he really got heavy looking.
