This is a gorgeous pink tweed Ben Zuckerman suit, dating from the 1950's. It is beautifully tailored, as seen in the photograph of the shoulder seam. The tweed is substantial, and very heavy, which allows the jacket of the suit to stay closed without any fastenings.

This suit was sold at Montaldo's, a lady’s specialty shop, was started in 1919 by two sisters, Lillian and Nelle Montaldo. It was a pioneer in the field of ladies’ ready-to-wear and was known for their high quality and personal service. The stores closed in 1995.
