Vintage 1980s New Wave Suit Shiny Teal Jacquard 32" Waist

This is a striking vintage 1980s New Wave suit made in a shiny teal blue jacquard fabric with an all-over geometric woven pattern that reflects light beautifully.

The jacket is single-breasted with notched lapels, padded shoulders, and a straight, slightly elongated cut consistent with New Wave and post-punk tailoring. The trousers are high-waisted with a straight leg, pleated front and sharp crease, designed to balance the visual impact of the fabric while maintaining a clean silhouette.

The interior label indicates a cotton and polyester blend, with a fully polyester lining. The garment was made in Hong Kong.

Sizing:  The size tag of L for large is present but doesn’t reflect modern sizing. I would estimate an oversized small to medium, but please refer to the measurements below for best fit, noting that fashion of the time dictated overly large fit (think David Byrne’s iconic suit):

Hips: 46" around

Condition: in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, soiling, staining or odour - this has been well kept over the years.

This is a vivid, era-defining vintage 1980s New Wave suit with a dramatic woven finish—great or stage or casual use…..
