Dormeuil vintage double-breasted navy striped suit
Dormeuil vintage double-breasted navy striped suit
This archival Dormeuil suit from 1997 represents exactly the kind of classic tailoring that has largely disappeared from the current market. The double-breasted jacket, fuller full cut silhouette, stronger shoulders, and subtle tonal stripe in dark navy give it the unmistakable sartorial character of the 1990s. With 100% wool, unworn condition, and unfinished trousers ready for final hemming, it is a particularly strong piece for anyone looking for an authentic vintage suit with real tailoring presence.
- Brand: Dormeuil, a name associated with traditional European tailoring and quality cloth.
- Year: 1997.
- Material: 100% wool.
- Condition: Unworn archival piece.
- Colour and pattern: Dark navy with a subtle vertical tonal stripe.
- Size: 56.
- Drop: 8.
- Jacket: Double-breasted construction with broader shoulders and classic sharp lapels.

The strength of this suit lies in its authenticity. This is not a contemporary narrowed-down ready-to-wear piece, but a proper vintage Dormeuil from a time when a fuller cut, longer jacket length, and more assertive shoulder line were a natural part of elegant menswear. If you want genuine sartorial vintage character that feels serious rather than costume-like, this is exactly where its appeal lies.
