Fabulous Burgundy Red Double Breasted 1940s Skirt Suit

Bold 1940s Raspberry Wool Suit With Dagger Collar

Striking tailoring meets serious quality in this beautifully preserved 1940s skirt suit, crafted in a rich raspberry-red wool gabardine with real weight and drape. This two-piece set features a sharply fitted jacket with a dramatic dagger collar, structured shoulders, and a double-breasted button front finished with ornate gold-tone buttons, paired with a softly flared A-line skirt for a beautifully defined silhouette.

Finished with exceptional period tailoring throughout, this suit feels every bit as sharp and wearable today as it did in the 1940s. The heavy-weight wool and sculptural lines make it a standout for collectors who want a piece that holds its shape and its presence.
