This jacket was made in Italy for Ralph Lauren around 2007 and was sold under the Polo label. It is white with a slubby corded texture, pleated patch pockets and a belted back. It is half-lined, like the original 1930s jackets it is based on. While tagged a size 44, I’ve had a couple of these jackets over the years, and they’ve all run small. With a 44″ chest measurement, this best fits someone who wears a size 40.

Chest (pit to pit): 22″ (doubled = 44″)

Shoulder to shoulder: 19″

Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 26-3/4″

Length (base of collar to hem): 32″

Kingsridge 1940s suit

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Spencer Stewart

The trousers of suits always wear out first. They take the brunt of the wear- that’s why some used to come with two pairs. This former three piece suit from the ’40s became a two piece for that very reason.
