Vintage beige seersucker style striped suit tropical washable by Haspel (42 / 43 Tall) Gatsby This sharp summer suit is a real eye-catcher. The material is a light-weight breathable cotton blend with pinstripes in the style of seersucker; although, the fabric is not true seersucker. The jacket has very lightly padded shoulders, two button closure, wide 4.25" lapels, and a single rear vent. The nicely pressed trousers are high rise, flat front, and cuffed at the bottom. A classic summer suit that is also washable.
Dust off your boater hat for a classic summer look. Condition: Excellent / Very Good vintage condition. No holes, no stains. Some normal light discoloration in the canvasing of the trousers - see photos. Otherwise, this suit is in great shape! From a smoke-free home.

Since many suits aren't marked, I go by measurements to determine size. Also be aware that sometimes a suit is marked, but it doesn't match the measurements. If you aren't sure of your size or the size of your own well-fitting jacket, there are a lot of guides on the internet to help you measure yourself and your jackets. I use "askandyaboutclothes" "how to measure a men's suit jacket" as the basis for my measurements. I’m not affiliated with this guide, it just is the most user-friendly. Please take a little time to check your measurements, before you invest in a suit. No returns policy:
