Vintage 1980s Gabe Omassi New Wave Suit Black Blue Wool Size L
Vintage 1980s Gabe Omassi men's two-piece suit, made in Canada. The suit has a distinctly New Wave-era look, combining broad-shouldered tailoring with a textured black and electric blue wool-blend fabric.
The jacket has a long, straight silhouette with padded shoulders, narrow notched lapels and a low single-button closure. It has a welted breast pocket, jetted hip pockets and a ventless back. The jacket is fully lined in black.
The matching trousers are high waisted with belt loops, front pleats and a straight, slightly tapered leg. They have slanted side pockets and a welted back pocket.
The fabric has a pronounced woven texture, appearing predominantly black or very dark navy with bright blue flecks throughout. The fibre content is 70% wool and 30% polyester.
The Gabe Omassi labels identify the suit as size 42 and made in Canada, with CA number 09173.
The size tag reads 42, but due to the oversized fashion popular during the 80s, this could accommodate a US 44. Please refer to the measurements below to determine fit.
