Description

Boys Vintage Palm Beach Goodall-Sanford Double Breasted Suit 1950’s. Mohair-cotton blend. Suit appears to have been dry cleaned and pressed before being stored. It was covered with a vinyl cover. There is a slight odor. I do not see any staining or marks.
Coat - 15 inches from armpit to armpit, 18 inch sleeves from shoulder to wrist. 20.5 inches from base of collar to bottom hem, taken on the back of the garment.
Pants - 11 inch waist (has elastic on sides), 31 inches length from waistband to bottom hem on outside. 21.5 inch inseam.
In 1908, Goodall Worsted Co., of Sanford, Maine, purchased the patent for a tropical weight mohair-cotton blend fabric developed by William S. Nutter. Goodall called the fabric Palm Beach cloth and sold it directly to tailors and manufacturers. In 1931, the company also began to produce suits from the cloth. The washable suit was comfortable to wear and the Palm Beach suit became the staple of the well-dressed man's summer wardrobe. In 1944, Goodall merged with Sanford Mills; the label on this suit indicates that it was produced after the merger. Sanford-Goodall would continue to produce the Palm Beach suit into the 1950s.
