Vintage 1970s Camel Safari Suit

An exceptional 1970s safari suit in a textured woven neutral cotton blend with strong tailored structure throughout. The jacket features exaggerated pointed collars, utility pockets, covered buttons and a matching waist belt with oversized metal buckle detail. The trousers are cut with a long straight leg that gives the set a very modern silhouette when worn together or separately. The jacket works equally well styled independently with leather, denim or darker tailoring. The overall condition is excellent with only light surface scratching to the belt buckle from age and wear. A remarkably well preserved example of 1970s safari tailoring with sharp construction and highly wearable proportions.
