Provenance

We have put these three items together as they arrived about the same time. The breeches were donated by Neil Parrish and the other two items from somewhere!
The breeches have never been worn and are about 20+ years old. The checked shirt is well worn to the point where the maker’s label has been washed out and the silk scarf is a silk scarf!
Nice little set which we will use on a mannequin for a display sometime.
