About MeThis suit combines a variety of materials to create texture and interest. The suit is arelatively plain design for Bill Gibb and does not feature any of his trademark
embellishment or pattern. However the fluid lines and simple cut make it a very
understated, yet sophisticated outfit. It is dated to the nineteen-seventies.
