<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 1124349, member: 1476"]Hard to tell from photographs. Can't get a sense of proportions. And it being an ethnic-inspired garment makes it even harder. Colorway and fabric not really 1960s. If I had to guess, I'd think 1990s. Kind of a poor man's alternative to Shanghai Tang's bright-colored silk Chinese jackets. Here's one of his suits in the V&A from the 1970s and the label different so do think later rather than earlier. He was known for his tailoring; don't think this piece a good representation of his work. That would likely mean limited collector appeal if your intention is resale. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O351396/suit-gilbey-tom/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O351396/suit-gilbey-tom/" rel="nofollow">https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O351396/suit-gilbey-tom/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]211462[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
