Vintage Brooks Brothers 3 Piece Donegal Tweed Suit 43 R

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I picked up this classic trad three piece suit over the weekend. Some of you may have seen it posted in the Thrift Store Bragging thread. It is a Brooks Brothers "Makers" three piece brown Donegal tweed. It is tagged a 43 R and is in excellent used condition. There is some minor, faint spotting on the lapels which I'm not certain isn't just part of the weave. What I'm referring to is visible in the picture. There are no holes or rips anywhere on the suit, but a small section of one of the welted seams on the trouser leg has lost a few stitches, maybe an inch or so. This is an easy and inexpensive repair. The is no damage to the fabric. The suit is fully canvassed, with welted seams on the jacket body and outer leg seams. It has patch pockets and is 1/4 lined. The vest is six button, with four pockets and has an adjustable belt on the back. The trousers are flat front. Approximate measurements are: chest 22.5" pit to pit, sleeves 24" +2", shoulders 18.75", length 30.25" BOC. The vest is 22" across the widest point. The trouser measure approximately 19" across the waist and appear to have been fully let out. The inseam is 28" with 2" cuffs and about 1.25" turned under, although it looks like it is doubled. I believe that would give you about 34.5" of inseam to work with if fully let out. I'm reposting the pictures from the Thrifting thread until I have time to take additional ones this weekend. GONE
