A really rather beautiful piece of vintage. This suit was made for an athletics team from the USS Midway. Based on the tags and zippers I believe this was manufactured in the very late 1940s to early 1950s. It's outer layer is a silk/cotton satin, with an internal insulated layer for warm. The colour of the outer is beautiful, with a dark navy very slightly fading to an eggplant purple. Note the stencils on the sweat sleeve and pants waist.

Condition

Used but excellent. A few light marks on the outershell but no major damage. One of the zipper rails on the ankle arrived with my completely destroyed, I've invisibly repaired this with a nos 1950s matching rail, and retained the original zipper pull and  stopper. If I didn't tell you this repair had been done, you would never notice it (humble brag)
