Vintage 1960s Shiny Suit Blue w Red Pinstripe Men’s Size L

$195.00

This men’s vintage 1960s shiny suit features a rich blue background with fine grey and red pinstripes, padded shoulders, wide high set notched lapels, three covered button front closure, a cutaway flap chest pocket, and two lower cutaway flap pockets. The trousers are flat-fronted with a gentle flare and have belt loops at the waistband.

The jacket is labelled “Windsor – Finest Imported Yarns” and “London Tower – Finest Imported Yarns”, and carries a Canadian Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America union label (Series 7, used 1962–1976).
