What size are they?
I'm unsure on the age, there iare no brace buttons or belt loops just side adjusters, trousers have button fly and silk lined ? waistband...I'm guessing 1950's? however there is a slight amount of waist supression in the jacket....experts?
and the trousers;

Catching up on old threads ...It is indeed. It had been sitting in an Oxford vintage clothing shop (one that is renowned for being overpriced) for a few years, not being sold. Every year, thousands have descended upon it during Ascot season, but it fit none of them. Then I, a man lacking somewhat in cranial girth (only 6 3/4 to 6 7/8), put it on and it was like Cinderella's slipper. It was still overpiced, but having seen how much my now wife paid for her dress, I felt it was worth spending money on an excellent hat.
Rules are made to be broken. I wear my plain satin bow with grosgrain lapels. As long as the bow is of the correct self-tying model, which you tie yourself, and the rest of your ensemble is correct, you'll easily be the best dressed fellow in the room.Hi,
I read this at the http://www.blacktieguide.com/Classic/Classic_Neckwear.htm, "A satin lapel calls for a satin bow tie while grosgrain facings require a ribbed or textured finish such as barathea or faille.".
I therefore wonder if it's acceptable to wear a peaked lapel dinner jacket with grosgrain facings, together with a barathea bow-tie and cummerbund?
