Description:
A rare opportunity to own a piece of sartorial history. This Cartier Collection two-piece suit, exclusively designed for Botany 500, dates to the mid 1970s. It features the highly sought-after Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA) union label, certifying it as an authentic, high-end American-made garment.
Crafted in a sophisticated Oatmeal Hopsack wool, this suit offers a rich, basketweave texture that is both breathable and wrinkle-resistant—perfect for year-round wear and travel.
The "Cartier" signature repeating diagonally across the lining was a common branding choice for designer-licensed suits to signify a premium "boutique" status
The Trousers: Feature an extended tab ghurka-style closure and functional side adjusters, allowing for a perfect fit without the need for a belt. Includes a classic front ticket/fob pocket.
Brand: Botany 500 "Cartier Collection"
Label: While Cartier is famous for luxury jewelry, they collaborated with Botany 500 during the 1970s era to produce a more accessible line of menswear marketed as having a "European look for American men".
Material: Wool (Possible Wool/Silk Blend)
Condition: No flaws, front chest pocket still sewn shut.
Era: 1970s
