For sale - genuine vintage 3 piece Goldfinger style grey suit

Ward

Thought I'd throw this one up here for you gents – this is a genuine vintage three-piece suit, not entirely sure of the date, it was handed down to me from an estate, but I believe it's from the 50s or 60s. It fits me at a 32 waist, 32 leg and 38/40R jacket. Very Bond. Waistcoat has four pockets, satin back, suit has a lot of vintage details. Label reads “Nelson and Gwatkin”. The problem is that due to it's age it has a small moth-hole in the left sleeve. Would like this to go to someone on here who would be willing to have it repaired - $50 + postage in the US. It's a nice suit and I would hate it to go to waste because of a ding.

Beautiful suit! It's about my size too, however it's too American for my tastes. It looks undarted. Is it? If nobody here takes it there are a lot of people who love the traditional American style. There are a fair amount those people in America and even more in Japan.

Suit still available. In the US, if that's of any help.

Matt, late answer to your question, not sure if it is darted or not, there are seams under the arms but I think these are just part of the construction. Suit up for offer for another day or two before it's on the dreaded bay! :-)

Darts would be something that looks like a seam on each side of the front that starts at the middle of the chest and goes down to the pocket (or to the bottom like on Anthony Sinclair's suits).

Had horrible luck with a couple of non-payers, so this is up for auction now -
