3 piece SB suit, Blue (with thin red pinstripes and wider grey chalk stripes through it).
Lovely condition, no marks, holes or wear. No moths! No labels, but traditional British made (ie beautifully put together!), medium weight all wool material. All buttons original and intact, as are pocket linings.

Jacket:
40" chest, non-vented, 3 onto 2 button single breasted, fully lined in midnight blue satin. 1 inside breast pocket, plus another smaller inside pocket. Sleeves: 26" outside length, 'short' style jacket with 29" centre back seam (collar base to hem).

Waistcoat (vest):
40" chest, 4 pockets, 6 button, back adjuster strap, black satin rear.

Trousers:
Waist 34 1/2", inside leg seam 30 1/2", high-rise cut (fits nicely on me - 32" waist and 31 1/2" inside leg). 9 1/2" leg width, but could be widened - material still there after being professionally narrowed from 11" wide legs).
No turn ups, but 1 1/2" of material available for lengthening if needed.
External braces buttons (6). Button fly.
Side pockets, plus flapped and buttoned front coin/key pocket.

Colour is most accurate in trouser waist area pics.

I'd be wiling to guess that it was a little older than you suggest. Early 50s at latest.
Any labels?

Thanks for the info, Baron. Thought I'd better opt on the safe side and not mis-represent......
What made me think 'later' was the short jacket length - not exactly a bum-freezer, but definitely shorter than usual. Trousers are definitely of the 40's/50's cut though! No labels at all unfortunately.
