This beautiful Ede & Ravenscroft suit is made from an off-white/beige Harrisons linen from their Mersolair book.
It is THE classic summer linen suit.
From my own wardrobe, it is very good condition. I ordered it 2-3 years ago, and have worn it at most a handful of times each summer since. I am selling because the fit has never quite felt right and I now need to clear some wardrobe space for new items.
There are no defects; it has many years of superb use ahead of it. The only minor thing to declare is a tiny dirt/scuff mark near the bottom of one of the trouser leg (see close-up photo). I am certain that this will easily come out on dry-cleaning, but I like to declare things up front. Dirt marks like this inevitably happen on all your trousers; you just only see them on lighter fabrics.
This is a great opportunity to grab a stunning & surprisingly versatile suit for a very low price.
Please look through all the photos, read the style details and check the measurements below for more information. Do get in touch with any questions, and to purchase.

Details:
- Ede & Ravenscroft MTM suit
- Off-white/beige/pale cream (the most colour-accurate photo is the close-up of the sleeve buttons)
- 100% Harrisons Linen, IIRC from the Mersolair book
- Will fit as a 36S or 38S, depending on how closely you like clothes to fit
- Beautiful and classic summer suit in every respect.
Jacket:
- single breasted
- 2 button
- notch lapels
- double/side-vented
- 2 flap pockets, plus welted chest pocket
- 4 sleeve buttons (as is sometimes the case with Savile Row jackets, only the bottom two on each sleeve have been made functional, so further sleeve length adjustment remains easy)
Trousers:
- zip fly plus tab closure
- flat fronts
- belt loops & internal braces buttons are both present so you can choose to use whichever method you prefer
Measurements:
- MTM, and I would suggest it will fit either 36S or 38S
- No weird/super-customised adjustments were made to the MTM pattern beyond using my measurements, so if the measurements work for you, the suit will fit.
