This authentic vintage 1960's SUPER-MOD Edwardian style suit captures the BRITISH INVASION look like few garments can.
It's a piece of FASHION HISTORY, for sure. But it's also a lesson in the FINE ART of BESPOKE hand-tailored GENTLEMAN'S APPAREL.
To be sure, this rare vintage find bears an incredible likeness to Elvis's iconic "'68 Comeback Special" bright white "If I Can Dream" suit... and channels the spirit of Austin Power's hugely similar 4-button double-breasted gem in ruby red velvet... both pictured in our photos.
Sorry... no labels tell of the Master Tailor behind this impeccable garment... its country of origin, fiber content, or the client who ordered it.
And if the style doesn't suit your fancy... keep your eyes peeled for another sensational 60's traditional British "Town & Country" style hacker pocket suit that's clearly from the same tailor's bench and hand-crafted for the same client. It's cut from a sturdy deep-olive serge... and features the exact same button-fly trousers, custom self buttons, and "miles" of hand-sewn work throughout.
Back to this a genuine SUPER-MOD stand-out with:
- Short peak lapels/both w/faux buttonholes
- A striking double-darted cinched waist silhouette
- Slightly longer frock-like length
- Traditional Edwardian 4-button double-breasted closure
- Hand-sewn button holes and hand-stitched collar
- Custom-crafted "self" buttons covered in matching cloth
- Dashing slanted/raked hacker pockets
- A dapper third ticket pocket
- 3-button cuff trim
- Deep-cut 12 1/2" center vent
- Full hand-finished plush satin lining
- 1 internal breast pocket/1 cigarette waist pocket
Impeccably tailored trousers feature:
- Button-fly closure
- Button-tab waistband w/keeper
- Waistband coin pocket
- Twin besom back pockets
- Slim silhouette with narrow 8" leg opening
- Hand-stitched/finished selvage seams
- Lined hems to prevent edge/heel wear
Please note the higher levels of tailoring in 12 (TWELVE) hand-sewn buttonholes including the button fly trouser and "miles" of hand-stitching throughout both garments.
Every single coat and trouser fiber is wear-free and soiling free and drapes to perfection. The sturdy wool serge cloth brims color and character and substance (the garment weighs in at just over 3 1/2 lbs) in a muted tone-on-tone taupe pinstripe... and the trousers carry a super-crisp crease.
Mike this British Invasion Edwardian-style gem your very own. It "works" with everything from a ruffled shirt -to- a turtleneck -to- a crisp collar and your finest silk neckwear... all in keeping with SUPER-MOD look of the sensational 60's... and screaming for BEATLE BOOTS.
