An eye-catching vintage 1940s 2-piece suit, made from a medium weight soft wool flannel fabric in a green, blue & brown tartan which I think is Fraser Ancient pattern. The jacket is double-breasted with very wide lapels, has a drapey bust & fitted waist, 2 lower patch pockets, & is fully lined with taupe rayon; the skirt has centre box pleats with 3 knife pleats to each side on the front & back; it fastens at the side with a bronze metal 'Lightning' zipper with a button on the waistband.
