Dated 1939 Harris Tweed Three Piece Suit

[Fu Manchu]

Hello Gents,

It's been a while since I visited the Lounge, but I found a doozy of a suit that might be of interest to you fine folks.



It's a dated 1939 three piece Harris Tweed with a lot of interesting period details - three patch pockets, bakelite buttons, skeleton lined, Lightning zipper, &c. It measures out to around a 44 or 46?

This suit is special because it's labeled Harris Tweed - the earliest I've ever seen, with an unusual label. Also, it's in great condition for its age. There are a few discolorations, but I think they'll come out with some spot treatment. It's wearable. And did I mention it's Harris Tweed?

Here's the auction link:

Oh blimey. That's exactly my size. And exactly the colour I like. Everything is right about it - apart from the fact that i don't have any money at the moment!

Nice suit but too big for me!

I thought that you fellows might appreciate this suit. It really is beautiful. It's way too big for me, too, or it wouldn't be on eBay!

Happily too big for me as it was payday yesterday and could have got messy moneywise!

Just a quick note to say that this suit is back on eBay. With the change in weather, there seems to be more interest! If you're around a 46R, this suit is a real heavyweight monster of vintage goodness. The tweed is really fantastic!

Oh, it's a dream come true--only too small for me.
