Hello Gentlemen,
Up for sale is an incredible Vintage 60's suit, perfect for summer, in size 38 S. Believe it or not the "Cricketeer" brand made some of the best ivy/mod styled suits back in the day - full canvass construction and Made in the USA! This suit is a 100% lightweight wool and very breathable, as pictured below. High 2-button cut, possibly in the JFK "paddock" styling? Natural shoulder, short double vents, slightly angled "hacking" pockets, and 3/4 lining. Pants are slim-cut with a good taper. Pants are unlined and lightweight. Flat front beltless with buttons on the side to adjust waist size. Color is a phenomenal light gray-ish blue with a very subtle plaid patterning. Wonderful pickstitching on the lapels and pockets. Wonderful vintage condition. There is a hole on the end of left arm cuff, barely visible, should be an easy mend; there are two small holes underneath the cuff (not visible) on the right arm. If you are going to take any sleeve length out they will need to be mended. There is also some discoloration of the pants' lining due to age. Ready to wear! Untagged size, from a Chicago department store from the days of yore, measures a 38 S. Price includes Priority Shipping CONUS!
Measurements:
Jacket
Shoulders (across back) - 17.5"
Chest (flat across front) - 20"
Length (down back, bottom of collar) - about 29"
Sleeves (from shoulder) - 24.5" (with about 1" to take out)
Pants
Waist (flat across) - 15" (with about 3.5" to take out)
Inseam - 30.5" (with 2.75" to take out)
Hem (flat across at bottom) - 7 7/8"
Send me a PM if you'd like more pictures or measurements!
Thanks!
