Item Description

Men's festdrakt is cut in a traditional Norwegian style of a quality weight wool blend (60% wool, 40% viscose) in black with dark green trim. It is not for a specific region in Norway, so anyone may wear it. Each of the three pieces: jacket, vest, and trousers, are lined and have classic pewter fittings. The size label on all three pieces says Size L (EU 52). The jacket is worn open and measures approximately 25" across the back from underarm to underarm and 28 inches from the collar seam to the bottom of the jacket. From shoulder seam to cuff, the sleeve measures 25.5". The vest measures 24" across the back from underarm to underarm and 25" from the collar seam to the bottom edge of the back of the vest. The front of the vest is cut a bit lower than the back. The waistband of the trousers measures approx. 36/37", with a 1" seam allowance on each side in the back to allow for some expansion. The pants measure 42" from the bottom of the waistband to the hem of the pants and the inseam measures 31.5". The pants are lined to the knee and also include a pair of suspenders.
