Cherry & Webb

condition - very good

I bought this outfit around 1973-1974 at the Cherry & Webb shop in downtown Providence, RI. Cherry & Webb later became CWT and closed sometime in the early 90's. So, we have provenance, date of purchase and the original owner. I think it would have cost in the $40-$50 dollar range. On the show Antiques Road show,those things seem to be important.

Measurements -

Jacket - bust 42", length 29", sleeve length 23"
Pants - waist 35", hips 42", leg length 45", leg cuff width 12 1/2" across or 25" around!

The orange is more of a tangerine color. I find orange hard to photograph so let's hope for the best color representation. There are some slightly darkened wrinkle marks on the legs as you would have when sitting down and a small (1/2" long by 1/8" wide) smudge on one pants leg at hemline. The jacket appears to be fine. The corduroy is a heavier weight which is great for Fall wear and it is very soft almost like velvet indicating a fine fabric. The garment in whole was well constructed with flat feld seams, high quality buttons and those pointed collars so hip in the 70's. If you notice there is a wedge or criss-cross at the top of the jacket, either side. These are little pockets! They would have been good for holding a few dimes back then to make a phone call or two - from a phone booth of course.
