Excellent Condition

If you are fortunate to be a size 2 or have a young adult daughter who is, this is a MUST HAVE skirt and jacket. It would be perfect for college or job interviews, nice conservative double breasted jacket, but stylish at the same time!

Cove Tidbit: We came across an article written about the Freedberg Family Business that closed it's doors in 2002. The article was too long to include in the listing some excerpts below...

"Milton Freedberg is leaning on a rack, one that would once have served as a staging area for the private-label suits and separates that his company created in a South End industrial loft and shipped to major retailers such as Filene's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, and Louis Boston.....Old sewing machines and dress forms clutter the space, but the only keepsake Paul says he'll take is a signature gold button stamped with an anchor. "It's sufficient. It allows the mind to go anywhere you want to go," he says, managing a smile........."I'm in desperate straits," says Bob Lane, who has been a client for 20 years. "I go to work every day with a suit and tie. I'm an antique. Or an anachronism. . . . I wear a size that could be difficult to find off the rack. They'd let me choose material and put it in the product run..... the hardest part for Paul, telling his son that the business was closing. One of the hardest things he's done in the process. "I told him the truth," Paul says. "There's multiple truths." Such as? Not only was there a lack of earnings potential, there was a "lack of fun" between the company and the stores, which were sending out young buyers with more responsibility than their years may have deserved, he explains. The lease was going to expire, and department stores canceling orders after last year's attacks helped finalize the decision........."Could we have survived economically? Absolutely," Paul says. "But, we made the decision as a family because it was a long time family business.We're ready to move forward and put a smile on our face." ~ from The Boston Globe, Tina Cassidy, Boston Globe Staff, October 26, 2002
