The ad copy read, "Two=piece Blazer Suit. Cut from sound quality blended Woolen Flannel reinforced with 5% Nylon. Double-breasted unlined jacket fetures single-breasted lapels, taped seams, lined sleeves, three patch pockets and an attractive badge. The shorts are fully lined and have belt loops, inside buttons and double seat. Colour: Navy.
Suit Chest:
23, 23½, 24 ins. 1K2066R.............. £59/6 20 wks 3/-
25, 26, 27, 28 ins. 1K.2067M ............. £67/6 20 wks 3/5." This almost looks like a school suit, although it was done in blue rather than grey and is double- rather than single-breasted. Note the badge to give it a school or club look. The suit seems to have mock double-breasted styling.
This suit has a "mod" look which we suppose is why it is described as "something different". The ad copy read, "Something different in boy's styling , a single-breaste, button-3 jacket featuring three patch pockets with flaps that button down, , two side vents, and epaulettes on the shoulders. Shorts, have half elastic back, extended waistband at the front, zip fly and slanting side pockets. The whole suit is cut from a blended Wollen material and is fully lined.
Colour: Dark lovat.
Chest: 25, 26, 27, 28 ins. 1K2017F Suiit £5/7/8 20 wks @ 5/5." This lovat has a brown look. Often lovat has more of a green look. Lovat has a dusy look achieved by adding grey to the color. The term is believed to have been drived from T. A. Fraser, Lord Lovat ( -1875), a Scottish nobleman who popularized muted tweeds. A pattern like this and the flap pockets would have not been used as a school suit. Although Scottish boys did weear kilts with lovat Twed jackets.
