Suit

Manufacturer H & C Company American

Not on view

As noted in a letter from the donor, this suit was worn by the father of the donor, Grant Flynn (b. 1904), as a ten-year-old boy to the opening of the Panama Canal in August 1914. Due to the occasion, it is appropriate that the jacket has a label suggesting a water-related sporting activity. Additionally, the lightweight linen jacket and wool pants are appropriate for the summer climate.
