This is a 1970s new old stock 3 piece mens tweed suit that is made of a woodsy Donegal tweed that features brown and white weaving with specks of colour throughout. The jacket to this 3 piece mens tweed suit has padded shoulders, wide notched lapels, a two button front, two button cuffs and has a 12” centre vent at the bottom back, still sewn closed at the bottom.  There is a pocket at the chest and a flapped pocket at either side.  It is half lined in brownish acetate.  The vest has a cutaway front, a five button closure, and a four pocket front. The pants to this mens tweed suit have a flat panel front and a flared leg.

Labels: Each piece of this mens tweed suit is stapled with a size ticket and the left cuff of the jacket has both a larger size tag and a cloth content label affixed to it.  The original retailer tag is still present with a price on it that shows a reduction to $135 from $195, substantial money during the 70s.  The lining content label has a CA identification number of CA01526, which belongs to the Metro Clothing Co. of Montreal.
