Take a close look at the jacket detail. Is this a safari suit? I'm troubled by the two flapped chest pockets, but love the cuff detail. I've never seen the likes of this on a suit jacket in real life. Have you?

Hm. If this were a Safari Suit, the chest pockets would be bellows style, and there would be a corresponding pair of patch bellows pockets below as well; I think. The flat, flapped pockets and that shirt-style cuff, push this ensemble more toward the Leisure Suit prototype; I think. This is a very very nice suit, the fit and fabric look exceptional.
You may be right Flo. Leisure suits had been deleted from my memory bank. The timing, while a bit late, would be right.
A safari jacket would also have epaulets. My father has several, both long and short sleeved.
Thanks for sharing with us great information about Italian Fabrics. I really like this blog.
