I found this along with some other baby/toddler clothing. Mrs. S. dressed her kids beautifully. This white linen boys suit is in excellent condition - no flaws that Icould find. Don't know the size; this is hand made & made well. The long sleeve jacket has a nipped in waist, gripper snap front closure, breast pockets. It has a collar and attached bow tie made from some sort of rayon I think. Here's the only issue - Mrs. S. altered the neckline after she made this (perhaps her son grew a bit & the neck was too tight). It can be easily be taken back to the original style because the change is just tacked in with a couple basting stitches. The shorts have a short bib with adjustable straps. I'm not sure if this is all linen or a linen blend. Whichever, it's a pretty incredible fabric for a child's outfit.
MEASUREMENTS: Jacket ~ shoulders = 11.5"; chest = 29"; sleeve = 15"; waist = 24"; center back = 13"
Shorts ~ waist = 22"; hips = 26"
