Dunhill Tailors of New York was a respected bespoke house. It operated for nearly half a century (run by brothers Norman and Leon Block), dressed the "Eastern Elite Establishment," and Truman Capote himself wore Dunhill for his famous 1966 "Party of the Century." Custom suits there ran $1,500 in 1982 dollars — that's roughly $4,800+ in today's money.

Additional details: Lined, double-breasted, tailored fit, heavy

Condition

Great vintage condition. The lining inside of the pockets is very worn but the pockets are fully functional (it's almost like someone cut out tags that were inside these pockets). The lining on one of the shoulders was loose so this has been repaired (inside lining only).
