Comments: This impeccably tailored man's lounging or smoking  outfit is from an era of elegance long gone. The rust colored wool has substantial weight, yet is fully lined in silk satin (jacket) and China silk (trousers).  The jacket has a classy "CH" monogram on the left breast pocket. The pleated trousers have slash pockets, a button fly and a silk drawstring at the waist. The gold satin piping on both pieces is a rich contrast to the rust wool.
