I saw it, I watched it, I know it's too small for you. (A size 38, yes?) A handsome suit that bears a strong resemblance to your own Ralph Laurens.
Which begs the question: why on earth did you buy this one? Are you going to have it reproduced in your size?

A very beautiful suit. I love the contrast buttons ... particularly evident on the pic of the waistcoat ... From the same seller that sold MudInYerEye's $10 suit, no?

You and I should get in the menswear design business together, Matt.
We can do it the 21st century way: find a niche that the big boys don't bother with, and fill the heck out of it.

And belted backs ... and waistcoats with pleats ... and double-breasted waistcoats ...

Alas, Matt hasn't responded ...
Forget about the whole thing.

I sold it on eBay a year ago. Went to Japan or Switzerland, I can't recall which. It was a size 40 long.
The silhouette looks enough like Matt's to make me suspect that his suit is from the same era.

At least it got a good home! I was watching that all week hoping that it would slip under the radar, but I knew something that nice wouldn't. It's absolutely perfect. Congratulations!
Edit: I'd buy your line, as long as you procure some nice heavy fabric. The heavier the better!

It did get a good home, but I really want to see it worn on a body. Matt himself has said that suits look a lot better on a person than on a hanger.

I couldn't agree more. I can't really tell how your suits fit when they are clipped to mannequins. When are you going to put them on and really show them off?

How can I show off the suits that I've already sold, Matt? I don't have them anymore.
As for the suits that are still in my closet, you have seen me wear them at The Derby and at the Seaside Ball. Will I ever see you in this suit you've just bought?
