Stores ref. 22c/53. Size 5. One-piece fur fleece fabric liner that buttons inside the 1930 pattern @APOS@Sidcot@APOS@ suit for extra warmth. Often referred to as the @APOS@Teddy Bear@APOS@ suit. One small tear near close to the side pocket/vent (very easy to repair), otherwise in very good used condition. The label is missing but well A.M.
