1970s Black Wool Gabardine Tuxedo Pant Suit

Although the tuxedo may not be considered as essential an element of the male wardrobe today as it was fifty years ago, we believe that it most certainly is essential to the modern well-dressed woman's. A great fitting tux will take you to any formal function with style and aplomb. Believe us when we say this 3 piece black wool gabardine tuxedo is the one to have. To begin with, its actually made for a woman. If you've ever shopped for suits in the men's department (and we have), you know the fit can be tricky, especially the trousers. So don't worry, this one is all girl, starting with the jacket - single breasted with a faceted single button closure, it's nipped at the waist, with a gathered shoulder and hits about mid-hip - all very girly details. The collar and lapel are edged in black satin lapels. The pants are triple pleated with an inverted pleat at the hip bone and a pleat on either side of the inverted one. Front zip placket with a pair of covered buttons at the waistband, inseam pockets at each hip, and a slanted bound pocket with a covered button on the left rear. The the leg is piped in black satin down the outer seam. The jacket is  lined, the pants unlined. Jacket bust measures 35", waist 31", shoulder 14.5", sleeve 23", length 20".  Pants waist is 25", hip to 38", inseam 28", rise 12.5". Made by Danièle O for Tahari, both pieces are in excellent condition. $185
