1940s Blue Wool Skirt Suit – The M.M. Cohn Co., Little Rock

1940s Blue Wool Skirt Suit – Davidow for The M.M. Cohn Co., Little Rock

A beautifully tailored original 1940s skirt suit in rich blue textured wool, made by Davidow. This is classic wartime tailoring at its best — strong shoulders, a defined waist and a gently flared skirt creating that unmistakable hourglass line of the era.

Elegant yet practical, it reflects the balance of utility and refinement that defines true 1940s fashion. A considered, quietly striking piece for a wardrobe built on authenticity and cut.

Why You’ll Love It

True 1940s tailoring has a presence that modern reproductions rarely capture. The proportion, the shoulder line, the subtle shaping through the waist — it all works together to create a silhouette that feels both powerful and refined.

Wear it as a full suit for a polished, period-led look, or separate the pieces for modern styling. The jacket pairs beautifully with tailored trousers or denim, while the skirt works effortlessly with fine knits and crisp shirting.

An authentic 1940s blue wool suit like this is increasingly hard to find in such strong condition.
