This suit really shows the quality of the fabrics that Chanel uses and I would hazard to say that the vintage ones like this are even better then the newer pieces. This suit is a classic done on a nubby black and white boucle. Each strand used to make up the weave of the boucle is thick so really gives the fabric a wonderful finish. I love how the weave has been worked so that the pattern feels very graphic while still retaining that classic Chanel feel. The skirt is cut straight and to mid-length and wraps over itself leaving a slit where the leg will flash when you walk or sit. The jacket is the classic long Chanel box cut done to just past hip length. This is the classic for pocket  jacket and each pockets is adorned with
