Found at the Goodwill

Here are two suits that I found at a local Goodwill store:
(Photos taken on the dry cleaner's hangers.)

The first is a dark gray Botany 500.

(There is a slight discoloration in the liner below, and to the left of, the big shadow.)
Cost: $8.00 USD
Measurements:
22.5" Shoulder seam-to-shoulder seam
28.5" Length from shoulder seam
24.0" Shoulder length from shoulder seam
54.0" Chest from bottom of arm holes
48.0" Pants waist
42.0" Pants outseam
30.0" Pants inseam

The second is a light gray plaid Palm Beach.

Cost: $8.00 USD
Measurements:
21.5" Shoulder seam-to-shoulder seam
29.5" Length from shoulder seam
26.0" Shoulder length from shoulder seam
52.0" Chest from bottom of arm holes
46.0" Pants waist
43.5" Pants outseam
31.0" Pants inseam

Although I really love the feel and look of the Botany 500, I don't think that my tailor will be able to take enough up to fit me correctly. The Palm Beach, however, should work with a few adjustments.

Back from the tailor...

Both suits will go back to the Goodwill. (I'm out $40 USD, less charity contribution on 2008 taxes.)

There was no wool to be found in the fabric.
