The waistcoat has a lovely 6 button fastening, an amazing blue stripe lining, an adjustable back fastening, four pockets and notch lapels. The trousers are designed to be worn with braces and are a 38” waist. Alan liked to wear all his suits with braces and therefore the trousers all have slightly larger waists than is conventional. The blue colour provides a spectacular contrast to the chalk pinstripe and gives the suit and elegant and distinguished look. The suit shows a few signs of wear being the oldest in this particular collection - there are a few Knicks to the trousers and a couple of light marks on the jacket and waistcoat.
