H. Freeman for The English Shop of Princeton 3/2 sack suit in grey pinstripe. c.42, 44.

H. Freeman for The English Shop of Princeton 3/2 sack suit in grey pinstripe. c.42, 44.

H. Freeman is one of the premier traditional suit makers in America, and The English Shop of Princeton was one of the Big Five purveyors of Ivy Style during the Golden Age, so this suit has a wonderfully classic provenance!

Cut as a traditional Ivy 3/2 sack from a classic grey pinstripe wool cloth, this is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has two button cuffs, a single centre vent, and very natural shoulder--as you would expect from H. Freeman's "Naturalaire" line! The trousers are flat front and cuffed. It was Union Made in Philadelphia, USA.

This suit has a very small snag hold on one cuff, as shown--this could readily be repaired. Because of this, though, this is in Very Good condition, and so is a bargain at just $29, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Shoulder: 18 1/2
