The fabric has a smooth surface with a lustrous sheen that changes slightly with the light, giving the suit an attractive tonal appearance. The material is believed to be wool, although there is no fibre-content label to confirm its composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single-breasted jacket features narrow, high-set notched lapels, a two-button front fastening and structured shoulders. It has a welted breast pocket, two lower horizontal welt pockets with dark contrasting trim and long sleeves finished with buttons at the cuffs. The jacket is half-lined in dark blue patterned fabric and features a centre-back vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching trousers have a flat front, a waistband with belt loops, slanted side pockets and two rear welt pockets, one with a button fastening. The legs have a straight, moderately tapered silhouette and plain, uncuffed hems. There is approximately 2¾ inches of additional fabric inside the trouser hems, allowing for possible lengthening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket bears two original labels. The \u003cb\u003eBeacon Hill Clothes\u003c\/b\u003e label identifies the clothing brand, while the \u003cb\u003eWeston Park\u003c\/b\u003efabric label reads \u003ci\u003eImperial Loomed, Perma Sheen Finish, \"Decatized\" for Wear\u003c\/i\u003e. Decatizing is a textile finishing process traditionally associated with wool suiting, using heat, moisture and pressure to stabilize the fabric and improve its surface appearance and drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relatively narrow, high-set lapels, restrained two-button tailoring and straight, moderately tapered trousers are characteristic of men's fashions during the transition from the late 1960s into the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated to fit approximately a \u003cb\u003eUS men's size 38–40\u003c\/b\u003e, but please rely on the measurements below for fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacket Measurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders: 17½\" across, seam to seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeves: 24½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve inseam: 16½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest: 43\" around, measured under the arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 40\" around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 28½\", measured at the back from the neck seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrouser Measurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 39½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInseam: 29½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra fabric inside hems: 2¾\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFabric:\u003c\/b\u003e Believed to be wool, with a fine multicoloured pinstripe weave and subtle sheen.
