Description

This is a young boys velvet suit from 1930 or 1931. The material is a medium brown colour and has a slight shine to it. The entire piece has been sewn with black thread. The bottoms of the legs are hemmed approximately 3/4" from the bottom. There are seams running directly down both the front and back as well as both of the sides. Underneath each of the arm-holes there is a 3 3/4' slit with a black button closure at the topin order to allow for easy dressing. There is a deep rounded neck at both the front and the back. The top of the shoulders are not sewn but rather held-together by black buttons identical to those used on the sides. The suit is in good condition, although there is some black thread that is beginning to come out of the seams.
