Physical description
A men's suit of deep purple corduroy in an Edwardian style. The tailored frockcoat with large lapels, single breasted, with four purple plastic buttons for fastening, and three pockets is lined with purple satin. The matching pants with a lowered waist and zip fly have slightly flared legs. The hems on the cuffs and the trousers are slightly altered but this is reversible as no original fabric is cut. Worn with a black velvet peak cap.
