I Want To Say 40\'s..NOS Green Suit With Fur Collar..Help Please

I need some help on this NOS stunning green suit with a dark reddish brown mink? collar.<p>I want to say 40's due to the triangle shaped flat shoulder pads and the peplum. What do you think on a date. The original price tag says $35.<p>The jacket and skirt are unlined. The fabric has a soft hand like a brushed woven wool. Is that possible?<br>The colors are a rich green with taupe, I would call it a tweed, right?<p>Last question...Ever hear of this company? ..Forman & Gumner, Boston. <p>I think this is so beautiful and it combines several trends with its rich green color and fur collar.<p>Thanks in advance!<p>Cat<p>

 

It could be just like Lindsay was talking about in her thread about local dept stores and boutiques. That's what the label sounds like because it has the city name too. I could be wrong..will have to ask a friend who was living in Boston longer than I had if they heard of it.

I think it was Sue who posted this link on identifying wools

I'd say it is more 50s due to the sleeve length, and the kength of the skirt. Maybe a 40/50s cusper????

 

Beautiful suit! I'm from Boston and never heard of this store or manufacturer. (And I was there in the 50s).

 

Yummy! Green is my favorite color. I would say late 40s, early 50s, too, and TWEED.

Does the hat go with it?

 

I hadn't thought about putting the hat with it but that is a great idea! It is one of the many I have taking up precious space around here. I just keep bringing them home. I have never even tried to list one.<p>The best part of this suit is it is a larger size, the waist on the skirt is 33". I have it clipped to the max! Does it look OK?<p>Thanks for all your assistance! <p>Cat

 

I thought it might be bigger, but it looks great. You should make many $$$.

 

Just wanted to say WOW! What a beautiful suit!

 

Very attractive, but to me it looks pure 50s with the mink collar ( don't see these much in the 40s) and the cut and hang of the sleeves, plus the 3/4 sleeve length.

I got a 50s vibe right away. I'm from Boston too and never heard of that store. I could ask my Mom...

 

Thanks for all the help everyone!<p>I will list it as early 50's as that seems to be how most of you saw it.<p>Thanks for the offer to check with your mom Kevin.<p>Cat
