Here's a glimpse at a suit dated 1905. Amazingly it's in near perfect condition.

they had some enviable lining fabrics back then. i really admire the fabric and tailoring quality of 1900 suits while not being a big fan of the cuts.

will you be keeping this suit to wear ?

Agreed, the workmanship is incredible and the fabrics are amazing, but the style is not for me. The fabric of this suit is very much still crisp feeling so it must have barely been worn.

I'll be selling it. It fits me pretty well but like I said, not my style. This suit is way out of my expertise so I have no idea what kind of price I should ask for it. It's roughly a 38-40R, 32x34.

Fantastic suit! Sadly it seem to be a bit too big for me, but try to contact volvomeister13, he might be interested in it.

Dang...that is nice. Too sad it is small for me to buy for my Husband.
