Grades - 

• Grade 1.5 - In good shape for its age. Naturally the bullion thread has signs of aging and is a bit blemished but over all in fair condition. The same can be said for the rest of the suit, having some small marks on the jacket and trousers although these could likely be spot washed or dry cleaned out. No signs of mothing. Would benefit from a gentle iron. Please see photos for all details and any flaws

Any questions please feel free to ask!

A wonderful piece of vintage clothing. These came from a gentleman's trunk who served in the Merchant Navy in South East Asia, mostly Singapore and Hong Kong during the 1950's and 60's. During his service he gathered a fine collection of clothing, from general day to day working items and more casual summer kit. This suit however is for special occasions, official gatherings and parades and is made of a quality wool material that was imported by Sang Cheong from England.
