AHow often do you find half-canvassed three-piece suits, especially in this size, and by the likes of Hardy Amies? 
And the cloth is lovely-a very versatile light herringbone, with the hint of a subtle red pinstripe running vertically through it.
This is a lovely suit; the jacket is half-canvassed, half-lined, and has a center vent. The waistcoat (vest) is fully lined, and has functional front pockets. The trousers are flat-front, and uncuffed. Oddly they lack both buttons for suspenders and belt loops, but the former can easily be added in if you desire. This is a lovely suit, which was Made in the USA
The jacket and the waistcoat/vest are both in excellent condition, although they could do with a dry-clean to freshen them up. The trousers are in less good condition, having three fairly minor flaws: there's staining on the lining of the pockets, as shown, although this of course won't show at all when you wear them. There is some piling from wear right inside the crotch seam, and there are some faint brown marks (clearly mud marks) on the bottoms of the trousers, although I have every confidence that these can be removed with dry cleaning.
Although I think that the last issue with the trosuers is easily fixable, and so this would be wearable as a suit. HOWEVER, if not, the herringbone fabric of this is tweedy enough for the jacket and vest to readily pass as an odd sports jacket and an odd vest, provided that you switch the current buttons for horn. (I recommend a nice blonde shade of horn here!) As such, I've priced this as though it were a jacket and vest combination, rather than a full suit--and, of course, OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Asking just $35 shipped in CONUS; International offers welcome, with shipping at cost.
