This 1940’s George Straith tartan skirt suit is a true heritage piece, crafted from 100% wool and preserved in remarkably beautiful condition! The colors are still rich and vibrant, with deep green, red, and blue intersecting in a classic Scottish tartan that feels both timeless and holiday-ready. The jacket shows off that impeccable 40s tailoring—structured shoulders, a sharply defined nipped waist, and those perfectly placed darts that sculpt the silhouette without ever feeling stiff. It can be worn fully buttoned to the neck for a prim, polished look that highlights the sweet covered buttons and pointed collar, or left partially or fully unbuttoned for a more relaxed, modern take. The construction is wonderfully crisp, with the wool holding its shape and the seams still clean and strong. The jacket features angled welted pockets at the hips. The matching skirt is generously pleated all the way around, creating gorgeous movement and swing while maintaining a flattering, smooth fit at the waist. It closes with its original metal zipper and hook-and-eye.
Measurements: Jacket: Bust 36”, Waist 28”, Hips 31”, Shoulder 14.5”, Sleeve 24”, Shoulder to Hem 24”. Skirt: Waist 26”, Hips 41”, Waist to Hem 27”
