Louisville, KY...and I'm a 42R, 7 1/2
Time for my semi-annual cleaning out of closets and getting rid of things that I don't wear or don't work for me for one reason or another.

This is a British gray flannel single-breasted, 3-button suit from the late '50s or '60s, a classic, iconic example of the style of the time. Bespoken by the tailoring firm Alexandre of Oxford Street, London, it's a beautiful conservative vintage suit in a hard-to-find larger size.

There are absolutely no flaws whatsoever that I can find. NB: in the pictures below, the lighter-colored areas are due to sunlight, not discoloration. This suit couldn't be more perfect if you'd used a time machine and bought it yesterday.

See photos below, and PM me if you have any questions. Asking $150 shipped in the continental US; I will ship elsewhere for slightly more. Paypal only.

There is no tagged size, but IMO it measures to about a 43-44R.
Chest: 46"
Shoulders: 20.5"
Sleeves: 25" +1" to let down
Length excluding collar: 30"

Trouser waist: 36" with at least 3" to let out
Outseam: 42"
Inseam: 29" with nothing to let down unless you lose the cuffs
Knee circumference: 23"
Cuff circumference: 19"
