    Description

    This listing is for a vintage 1950's men's black wool and silk two-piece tuxedo suit with bowties.
    This suit is made from a very fine lightweight black wool suiting with silk lapel facings and silk stripes down the trouser legs. The jacket has the typical 1950's tuxedo cut with the rounded shawl collar lapels, slit pockets without flaps and single-button front. The front of the jacket has a single black silk-faced button, as well as three per cuff. It is fully lined in black synthetic fabric and the shoulders are somewhat padded. The trousers are straight-leg in cut and do not appear to taper much towards the ankles. They do not have cuffs at the ankles and they close at the waist via an internal button, external metal hook-and-eye with tab and a metal Lightning zipper.  They also have a pleated front. The waist appears to be lined in white silk or synthetic fabric, the pockets are in off-white cotton and the crotch and rear are lined in a black grosgrain. Waist adjusts in and out an inch or two via two button tabs on the sides. Buttons for suspenders are also present inside the waistband. Also included are two bowties, both of which are pre-tied. The first is a small black one with a metal clip and the second is more elaborate, coming in a black, red and gold floral-like pattern. It is slightly larger than the solid black one and attaches via an adjustable band which secures with a metal hook-and-eye. Both appear to be of synthetic textile.
    Overall, the suit is in used, but good, condition. The jacket as a small set of moth holes on the lower back, and some of the silk-faced buttons show some signs of wear (see photos). The trousers also have a small moth hole on the upper front (see photo), however, aside from these, the jacket, trousers, nor bowties appear to have any other signs of wear present and all buttons, zips, hooks, eyes, etc. are present and intact.
    No labels mentioning brand, size, region of origin, fabric content, etc. are present on any of the four pieces.
