About MeThe style of this suit is typical of better quality tailoring that met Utility Scheme standards, with few pockets, narrower trousers and usually without turn-ups.

The suit was worn by the donor's father David Henderson, a gamekeeper from Sutherland (25 December 1909 - October 1989) after de-mob from the RAF police.
