Provenance Note Castleberry was a mid- to high-end American label producing quality knitwear and coordinated sets in the 1960s?70s. Their heavy polyester knits were marketed as durable, travel-ready alternatives to luxury knit labels like St. John, often retailing for $200?$300 in the 1970s (equivalent to $1,200+ today). This suit is a rare example of Castleberry?s careerwear line, preserved in unworn condition. Style Aesthetics ? 1970s careerwear chic ? St. John?style knit suit ? Neutral floral classic ?
