The seller has listed it as a 36, but considering the waistcoat measures 39 inches I think we can safely say it isn't a 36!

The back view shows the jacket's beautiful shape. And it is vented which (correct me if I'm wrong) was something associated with country wear in that period.

While both are lovely they are IMO pricey considering the visible mends.

i'm a 37 chest, and the jacket is exactly what i would expect for that size (the shoulders are slightly narrow), but should be fine for a 36 with waistcoat under jacket.

Both lovely. With the minor mends on the check one, I'd certainly buy it if it were a 34-35S …
