Dormeuil vintage charcoal chalkstripe suit
This archival Dormeuil suit from 1997 is built on a dark charcoal base accented by a more pronounced chalkstripe pattern with classic sartorial character. The single-breasted jacket, fuller full cut silhouette, and unworn condition make it a strong vintage piece for anyone looking for traditional 1990s tailoring with a more formal presence. With 100% wool and unfinished trousers ready for final hemming, it is also a proper period suit prepared for precise adjustment to the wearer.
