Antique swallowtail tuxedo handmade ca. 1860-80 for little boy: 3 piece suit includes jacket, vest, pants, even a pair of genuine leather spats! This antique tuxedo is made of black wool, linen and muslin, all mostly hand-sewn. Two pants pockets were made from sugar sacks, one bears the store printing. All hand-stitched button fly, buttonholes and fancy buttons. Jacket lined with black fine linen. Pants a heavier weave than the jacket but both obviously skillfully sewn by the same hand. Tuxedo looks like today's size 4-5 but people were smaller 120 years ago. An amazing survival so don't expect this tux to look like new -- has some moth holes (some mended), creases and dust from long storage. You may not like the word adorable but that's what it is!
