Vintage 3 Piece Denim Corduroy Suit Reversible Vest 42R 34 x 29 USA Wards 1970s

Description

3-piece denim suit with a vest that reverses from wide wale tan corduroy to denim.  Nice detail on the vest, with wood or wood-look buttons, and trim above the pockets.  Pants are flat-front and straight leg.  Classic two-button jacket with top stitching.  Made for Montgomery Wards.
Color can be subjective on the screen.  This is a medium wash denim with a slightly brighter tone.  On my monitor the rendering is quite good except for 1) the close up that shows the vest buttons and 2) the image of the front of the slacks.  Those render too light so please ignore them for color purposes.
Suit is in lovely shape.  It looks like it was maybe worn a few times only, cleaned and then stored.  Dry cleaners has marked owner name on the pockets and there is a little discoloration to the pants pocket linings, There is some light fade to shoulders and neck of jacket, mostly closet fade I think, plus a bit of neck wear.  See close up photos.  Was stored on a suit hanger, shoulders look well-shaped. With denim side of vest showing, 3rd and 4th buttons down show some finish loss.
RN number is 29505, indicating it was made by the Juvenile Manufacturing Company (later Santone), in San Antonio Texas.  Levi's bought this company in 1981, so I doubt they would have made things for Wards after that.  Based on this information and the general style, I'm calling this a 1970s item.
