US mid 1930s action back suit, in dark grey worsted twill weave, mid-weight fabric with subtle overcheck. This fabric is sometimes referred to as 'Granite cloth' in the US.
Not in great condition with issues including; unravelled buttonholes on jacket, torn lining to waistcoat, moth nip to jacket lapel and trouser seat, wear to jacket collar etc.
However, could be very much of interest to a maker / designer interested in the tailoring mechanics of a proper expanding 'action pleat' jacket which works perfectly and is one of the best examples I've seen.
