#this possibly 77-year old tailcoat fits me pretty well

[aturinfortheworse]

I'm doing some repairs on my vintage tailcoat before getting it dry cleaned & altered, and I found this label that.... might say it was made in 1947?? J H Cutler was indeed operating at the time; I'm not sure how to check their past addresses. maybe i could email them.

So now I'm trying to work out if I should take the label off before having it dry cleaned bc I assume ink will be lost during dry cleaning? idk that much about how dry cleaning works tbh

also if anyone can actually read what the label says hmu
