The Chaps say: Exceptional 1940s suit in typical period style, bespoke hand-tailored by Wealson & Legate of Sackville Street (part of the Savile Row bespoke area), dated 1948. High quality heavyweight worsted cloth in diagonal weave, dark blue with white pinstripe.

Double-breasted jacket with 2/6 fastening, 2/4 working cuff, horn buttons, wide peak lapel with 1" buttonholes, blue satin lining to body, striped rayon lining to arms, jetted hip pockets (right pocket has change holder), 2 inside chest pockets and hip change pocket, unvented. English-cut trousers with waist adjusters and buttons / straps for attaching braces, twin pleats, waistline change pocket, button fly, single rear pocket, plain-finish leg (no turn-up / cuff).

A stunning piece in remarkable order. If you are looking for a genuine 1940s suit then you'll wait a long, long time to find another one with such fine detailing and provenance.

Condition: VERY GOOD vintage condition, all solid and ready to wear, truly remarkable for age, just some minor flaws to note - 1/4 inch hole to back of right sleeve just above elbow (could be mended, if desired), an odd cuff button to right sleeve, a few spot marks to back of left shoulder (nothing serious or obvious), some perishing of canvas backing to trouser waist adjusters and crotch lining - all shown in photos. You'll wait a long, long time to find another like this.

The chest / waist size (in inches) that we show in the item title is the 'size to fit the wearer'. The letter (R/S/L) denotes the length:

R = Regular fitting (for chaps between 5' 7" - 5' 11" tall)
S = Short fitting (5' 2" - 5' 6" tall)
L = Long fitting (6'- 6' 5" tall)

For example, if your chest measures 42 inches and you are of average height, a jacket or coat listed as '42R' will normally be a good fit. When estimating the 'size to fit' we take into account the garment cut and how it is meant to be worn.

How to measure yourself
Any significant flaws are clearly described in the 'condition' section of each item listing. We offer a no-quibble money-back guarantee that your item will be as described.

When grading items we use the following naming system:

Mint: An item is as perfect and pristine as when it was originally made and shows no sign of wear (mint condition is rare for vintage clothing).

Immaculate: An item shows only the slightest signs of wear.

Excellent: An item shows typical signs of wear due to occasional use but has no obvious flaws.

Very good: An item is considered wearable but has some obvious flaws (e.g.staining or soiling or loose stitching to lining). Flaws are repairable, so the item can be returned to Excellent condition.

Good: An item is wearable but cannot be returned to Excellent condition even if repairs are made.

Restoration: An item has many significant flaws but its historical value merits an investment.
