1980s | Two-Piece Suit | Dark Brown - L

Description:

Item: Original 1980s two-piece suit in a dark brown cloth with matching double-breasted jacket and trousers. Strong broad lapels, structured shoulder and a longer tailored line give it that unmistakable decade shape, while the fabric has a light, crisp handle that helps it hold its form cleanly. A sharp formal set with real period presence.

Era: 1980s

Condition: Good vintage condition with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. Presents well overall with a strong tailored shape, rich dark tone and clean finish. A solid vintage suit with the natural signs of age that add character without detracting from the overall look.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the sort of 1980s suit that works because the cut carries real authority without needing loud pattern or colour. The double-breasted front and broad lapels give it that confident, dressed-up silhouette, while the lighter crisp cloth keeps it sharp rather than heavy. A very strong period suit with proper shape and a clean, elevated look.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, bulk, or layering.
