1940s Brown Gabardine Skirt Suit With Pocket Details
1940s Brown Gabardine Skirt Suit
A genuine lesson in tailoring: this suit is cut from beautifully heavy gabardine, with a dramatic, sharply pointed collar, a nipped fitted waist, and striking geometric pocket detailing on the jacket that you simply don’t see in contemporary tailoring. The skirt falls in a clean, structured A-line that balances the jacket perfectly — precision dressing at its finest.
