As per my other thread, I'm cleaning out my closet, as it is extremely overfull. I am attempting to liquidate anything I can no longer fit, and/or anything I no longer have any desire to!

I went through what I call my "COGIC" phase where I wore long, Steve Harvey-ish suits, the more buttons the better. Yes, I know. Now they are taking up space in my closet, most are too small (40L) and some are too flashy to wear on other than special occasions. I have still kept my favorites, that I can still fit, but I'm hoping to be done with the rest.

I'm sure this isnt the right forum for these type of suits, but I havent been able to find anywhere else on the web. Can someone possibly direct me to an appropriate site? When I measured the vintage suits I also measured these, so I have all the details. I'm hoping to get $50 each as they have been worn once, twice, or not at all. Some are three piece.

I am including pictures:

Well, count me in!...

I actually have a suit (2 pc.) similar to your yellow 3 pc.! I am quite the fan of longer length coats (it's a throwback to the Beatles 'Abbey Road' LP cover and the back cover of 'Beatles Again'. George and Ringo each sported those Edwardian cuts in the late 60's early
70's and, impressionable young I, was quite taken by the look. There is a great photo of John Lennon at his first art gallery opening wearing a white version which is the suit similar to my own.

Also, I attempted to buy the 'Abbey Road' jacket offered by R.W. Lease (http://www.beatlesuits.com/) but found it ill-fitting, over-priced, and un-servicable. It was promptly returned.

Would either of you like to buy the jackets you mention, or any of them? I forget if I mentioned it above, but I'm asking $50ea + shipping, since they're basically brand new.
