Hello Mr.Rabbit,
I′d like to know a little bit more about this beauty.
May I ask you length of inseam and shipping cost to Japan?
Thank you,

Hello Mathme,
inseam is 28.5" and shipping to Japan is $50. This is an early 40s cut so the trousers are cut roomy in the seat and crotch, meaning the the inseam may appear shorter. The waist sits at the usual height for regular high-rise late 30s to early 50s vintage trousers, so I recommend to go by the outseam where there is less variation.

Awesome!
Thank you for your advice.
Actually I′m a beginner of vintage suits, so it's really helpful for me.

I′d love to take this suit home!
