1930s Suit - Rare NRA Label Early 30s Wool Tweed Two Piece Skirt Suit - Autumn Lookbook 2026

$625.00

Shipping to United States: $15.00

In any my years in business, this is the first NRA labeled tweed suit I have come across. Oh, I've had plenty of dresses, some jackets, hats of course - but this one? This is pretty special. Made of a richly textured wool in oatmeal and brown dotted tweed, the weave has a very subtle texture of chevrons. The jacket is strongly influenced by the Edwardian revival of the period - a high neck, full cut sleeves that come to a taper fitted cuff. At the back, there are two deep pleats, but these do not expand - they are held perfectly in place with the lining, for the sleek look of the 30s. While the original belt is not present, it has belt loops, and is meant to be belted, which helps expose the buttons down the center of the skirt. The skirt is long and sleek, a full 31" in length, and all of its dozen buttons are functional buttons, so you can open the lower buttons if you need to go tromping. This is, after all, sportswear. The suit has a fantastic TWENTY ONE matching deco era buttons - not one is lost. Twelve on the skirt, five on the jacket and two smaller versions of each cuff. The jacket is lined in a cold rayon, and the skirt is unlined.


Accessories shown, including the belt, are inspiration only and are not included.

Condition: Very Good

This suit has been freshly dry cleaned and is ready to wear. I have not hand laundered it, and there remain some faint yellowed spots in the skirt, but these are really minor. There is a good deal of selvage, and I was able to take some material from the selvage near the hem of the skirt to very neatly mend three moth chews in the skirt on the right front panel, a few on the left sleeve, and one on the right. There is a single tiny dot above the last button on the jacket. I believe the lining is a replacement, as the was shattered silk in the pockets. The lining makes it hard to access these for repair, so I have stitched them shut, with an easily removed hand stitch, as you see on new suits. The lining has a small pencil eraser shaped hole, and some light soil, nothing significant.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices. Nathan should then go on to include information on the following:

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly.

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;

if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law;

and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as

1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and

2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

Note: Etsy retains this information on seller's behalves
indefinitely, so order and message history can always be accessed when needed to comply with customer requests or legal requirements.

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction.

Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Julie Bergmans, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at via Etsy's internal conversation system, or contact Etsy direct at Etsy.com/help for the most direct form of assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

May I reserve an item or put an item on Layaway?

Yes, and you've got options! Klarna is a service available for all items on Etsy to buyers from some countries. Additionally in-shop layaway is available for items over $100. Items between $100 and 300.00 may be set up on a two part, 30 day layaway. Items over $300 may be put on three part layaway plan, with length determined by value. Items over $1000 may be put on four part plan, typically for 90 days. Layaway cannot be combined with sale prices, coupons or other discounts. Customers may put more than one item on Layaway, but the prices cannot be combined to extend the duration.

There is a 2-hour waiting window on new listings before they may be put on Layaway or Reserve. You may write on a new listing to be put in the layaway queue.

The measurement look larger than the mode/dress form. Is this item pinned?

Yes, it is. All items larger than the form are pinned too represent their accurate fit and shape. We are careful to accurately represent the actual cut of the garment. Don't rely on the size of the model in any way.

I have an issue, may I return an item?

I allow returns or exchanges in only rare occasions - only when I have made an egregious error.

You must contact us with 48 hours of receiving your order if you have an issue, and if an exchange is approved, it must be sent within 48 hours after our communication. Items purchased and worn for special events may not be returned - we are not a rental facility. No refunds are issued based on issues with the fit of a garment, please measure carefully and feel free to make inquiries if you need help with sizing.

Vintage lingerie cannot be returned or exchanged, due to its intimate nature. Clearance items, items noted "as-is" and items sold on layaway may not be returned or exchanged.

Are Accessories Included?

Only accessories original to the piece and specifically described in the listing are included with purchase. All contrasting belts, necklaces, scarves or other items on mannequins or models are for inspiration only and are not included. All included pieces, including original self-fabric belts will be clearly and explicitly described in the listing.
