Too bad the trousers are a bit too small. If they could be altered to a 32x42(outseam), then I would have taken this. The jacket would fit me perfect. :eusa_doh:

That's the problem with boxy cut suits from the early 50s. About 15 years ago I found a primo flecked patch pocket suit. The coat fit perfectly but the pants were 2 sizes too small. It was the original cut too with no evidence of having been taken in at the waist. Oh well...[huh]

Great suit anyways.

Yes, the Baron...But I suspect this 50s suit to be too recent a style for his taste.

I had you in mind too. But the waist and inseam quelled that idea.

Well, it's not too 50's. And beggars can't be choosers.


Seriously, that's a good looking suit regardless the era.........
