It has one inner pocket, on the left side. The trousers are double pleated and has vertical front pockets and belt loops. They have buttons from braces and a button fly with button closure in top. They have two pockets in the back, one on each side., both with button closure. The overall condition of the suit is great, there are no obvious signs of wear. Please have a look at the images and evaluate. SIZE The jacket would best be described as a modern size EU 50 (US/UK40). Both the waistcoat and the trousers has been altered to a larger size, the waistcoat would correspond to a modern size 54 (US/UK44) and the trousers are even slightly larger, corresponding to a modern size EU 56 (US/UK 46).
