Paul Smith is an English menswear designer, founded in 1970, known for its quirky details. This suit doesn't have them - instead, it features a rare vintage cut.
The prestigious dark suit features a wide chalk stripe pattern, loose fit, a lower than usual buttoning point, a lower collar gotge and a very thick fabric. The manufacturer's tag suggests that the suit is vintage.
The jacket has a light shoulder construction, notch lapels, flap pockets, back pleats, decorative stitching and a loose fit. If needed, a seamstress will easily narrow it.
The trousers have a higher waist, two pleats, belt loops and a wide leg.
In excellent condition throughout. No holes, abrasions or stains or odour.
Made responsibly in England.
The size marking is 42UK, which is equivalent to a Euro size 52.
The fabric is 100% very thick Woolmark-certified pure new wool with a wide chalk stripe pattern. The material is also flannel, making this the warmest choice for autumn and winter. In a rare blue-grey colour.
