This is such a find. Labeled by the tailor this is a custom made suit tailored for a C. R. Wadson commissioned on April 22, 1941 by tailor Joe Lamon of San Diego, Ca. This is so beautifully done with the most beautiful wool gab pin striped fabric. Jacket is lined and has two inside pockets with one of the pockets labeled with the customers name and date of commission. The outside jacket has two low slit pockets and a slanted breast pocket. Jacket is perfect with only one very ting hole on the back of the left shoulder. This such a slight tiny hole and in no way takes away from the beauty or value of this suit. This is such a find which you don't come across that often in women's suits. The skirt is perfect with no holes at all. This is such a wonderful suit for the holidays. Beautifully preserved and like new.
This suit is so close to dead stock. Hardly worn. Absolutely gorgeous. Suit jacket has shoulder pads and is lined. Skirt is not.
Please go by the measurements for that perfect fit.
Condition: perfect to excellent. I went over this suit twice looking for holes and the only thing I found was a tiny tiny hole on the back of the left shoulder. Other than that this suit is perfect.
