Vintage Bespoke Tailored Dinner Suit DJ Tux 38
Hover over thumbnail to view larger image
The Chaps say: Highly distinctive
vintage Dinner Suit. Single breasted, one button jacket with wide
lapel, satin facings to besom flap hip pockets and lapel. Flat-front
trousers with waist adjusters, horizontal hip pockets, satin band to
leg. Probably 1970s. Fine example.
Condition: VERY GOOD vintage condition - the jacket
has a small pull to the rear, near the right vent, and there is a mark
to the trousers near the top of the left leg, and some minor wear to the
corner of the right pocket opening (see photos). Otherwise, the
condition is remarkable for the age.

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Mint: An item is as perfect and pristine as when it was originally made and shows no sign of wear (mint condition is rare for vintage clothing).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