Grey tweed three-piece suit

A tightly fitted three-piece in dense grey-brown tweed with a faint windowpane check, cut in the Edwardian-to-twenties working-class silhouette — high-buttoning waistcoat, slim trousers with a slight break, and a single-breasted jacket with peak lapels. The fabric is tough and utilitarian yet impeccably pressed, projecting hard-won authority. The waistcoat carries a worn horizontal buttonhole for a pocket watch chain.
