Sizing:  There is no size label on this 1960s brocade tuxedo as it was tailored to measure, and although this should fit a medium size (US size 40), please rely on the following measurements for fit, taken from the outside:

Sleeve Inseam:  17 1/2”

Condition:  This 1960s brocade tuxedo is in very good condition, with no wear, tear or staining, but it does have one tiny issue - a pinhead sized hole to the jacket at the mid back.  This could simply be camouflaged with a small iron on patch or invisibly mended - I’ve priced this at a level that would allow you to have it invisibly mended.  Otherwise, this 1960s brocade tuxedo looks like it was well cared for over the years.

This is a great looking tuxedo dating to 1964 - wonderful style, striking brocade trim and vest!
