This 1950s suit is made of a very nice wool tweed, with warm browns, orange, gold, green, and ivory yarns. It's very nubby and interesting.

The skirt is an A-line style, with metal side zipper and two hooks. It is lined on the back. The jacket is lightly fitted and has gathering at the back, similar to a bomber jacket. It is fully lined with brown satin. The buttons are brown, plastic circles. Buttonholes are bound. Large, notched collar.

Condition is very good. This was likely made by a private seamstress. No labels.
