Hello all!
I've had this for a short while- I figured I would have it altered so it would fit me, but I decided I should just let go of it instead.
This one is incredible!! 4 patch pockets, all vented. Fabric is a wool gabardine with a "flannel" finish- it's a fuzzy gab, in short.
Dropped hollywood waist, big notched lapels, peach-colored lining, hand tick stitch all down the collar, lapels, and front edge of the suit jacket.
Absolutely stunning item in a classic "camel" color.
It does have two small holes (shown) on the right side, down by the pocket. It also has a few faint smudges up on the shoulder (left.) I have NOT had this cleaned- I am pretty confident those smudges will come out. A few small spots on the left pant cuff, inside area. Looks like mud or coffee?
Suit is about a size 43 Long. Check my measurements:
Shoulders are 20in across from seam to seam. Pads stick out a bit beyond that.
Chest is 23in across from pit to pit.
Sleeves are 25-1/2in long from seam to bottom of cuff- this includes the roll over the shoulder pad.
Body is 33in long from base of collar to bottom, down the back.
Pants are 34in across the waist, on the _outside_. You could safely let out about 3 inches.
Inseam is 32in long with 1-1/2in cuffs. There really isn't anything to let out.
Belt loops sit about 3/4in from the top edge of the pants.
I am asking $200, obo, on this suit.
Please PM me if you're interested.

Ok - I put my dibs on that... because the size appears to fit me. The trousers are exactly my size... and with a 34 inch waist, I wonder if this really is a US 43 and not rather a drapey, comfy fitting US 40-41.

Anyway I'll send you a PM with some questions about measurements, price and shipping, dakotanorth.

Cheers
