This skirt suit is heirloom quality. And has true preppy roots---J. G. Hook was founded in 1974 by Max Louis Raab, who wanted to bring back the Ivy Style/preppy look of the 1950s. Raab could well be credited with laying the groundwork for Ralph Lauren's 1980s drive to update and popularize WASP clothing. Raab was most definitely successful here--in 1980 the New York Times described him as “The Dean of the Prep Look,” and claimed that he was responsible for “supplying American women with as many blazers and button-down Oxford-cloth shirts as they could wear with the Fair Isle sweaters and Bass Weejun loafers.”

Note--the blazer is a size 14 and the skirt is a size 10. Please check my measurements closely. Like new!
