This classic grey three piece suit has associated with numerous VIPs over the years. It belonged to my late father who was an ex police officer and wore it when he worked as chauffeur to the former Victorian Governor Sir Davis McCaughey at Government House in the 1990s. My father chauffeured numerous diplomats, political figures and royals, including the late Prince Philip.
The suit jacket has notched lapels, flapped pockets, breast pocket, two button closure, three button sleeve trim and three interior pockets. It has two rear vents.
The vest has two pockets and five button closure. There is no belt for rear adjustment.
The trousers have straight legs, two front pleats at the waist, two diagonal side pockets, coin pocket and two buttoning rear pockets.
The fabric is 80% wool, 20% polyester. Made by the iconic Fletcher Jones Australia. Conveniently dated 1-5-1990 on the tag inside an inner pocket.
