Condition:
Very good condition! Suit shows light soil smudges & marks and minor age discolor which may be removed by professional cleaning. Light wear at edges. There are three professional reweaves & reinforcement repairs on the jacket, noticeable only on close examination. Jacket taken in at side seams. Jacket lining has a few neat professional repairs. Pants have a few professional reinforcement repairs that do not show when wearing and serve well to extend the life of the garment. Suit is not perfect, but all flaws have been professionally restored. For a fine summer suit that is nearly 100 years old... it is not perfect, but you could hardly do better.
