This lot consists of a three-piece corporate uniform set manufactured by Marks & Spencer as part of their Corporate Collection, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s. The ensemble comprises a jacket, a striped shirt, and a coordinating necktie. The dark navy or charcoal grey blouson-style jacket is constructed from a heavy-weight twill fabric, featuring a pointed collar, a full-length metal zip front, a single welted slip pocket on the front, and ribbed or elasticated cuffs and hem. The left sleeve is adorned with a rectangular navy blue patch featuring a red embroidered monogram. The accompanying dress shirt features blue and white pinstripes, a pointed collar, and a matching red monogram embroidered on the front placket. The interior neck label is marked Marks & Spencer Corporate Collection. Completing the set is a navy blue necktie featuring red diagonal stripes and a repeated pattern of the monogram in white. The recurring stylized monogram across all three pieces consists of interlocked characters appearing to be the letters N and Y. This set represents a piece of British corporate or industrial history, produced for specific staff uniform requirements in the United Kingdom.
Condition report:
The uniform set is in good vintage condition, consistent with former corporate stock. The fabric, embroidery, and sleeve patch remain well-preserved, and the metal zipper is functional. Some minor creasing is present from storage.
