Comments: The tweed on this 3 piece wool
suit is made up of deep purple, tan and cream yarns. A narrow blue and white
vertical strip borders each herringbone pattern. The knickers are full length;
they buckle at the ankle. Also included with this suit is a early 20th century
cotton child's handkerchief stamped with the Simple Simon nursery rhyme. I found
the handkerchief in one of the suit pockets and felt it should remain with the
outfit.
