Now that's a positively insane price! I'd love to see more of that, preferably in my size, of course...

Trying to decipher the French. Which of those measurements is the trouser waist?

 

[dhermann1]

OK, tour de taille is waistline, and 72 cm is about 28 1/2 ". Feh. Another little skinny son of a bleep from the past.

And nothing to let out! Look how closely those seams are stitched.

For a moment or two I was seriously considering to buy the suit just to sell it on later (it's nowhere near my size). Seems to be in pretty good condition, at least there are no issues that would eat up a lot of money and/or time.

I can't believe it! That was once my suit! I sold it on the bay like a year ago. I purchased it like in 1991 in Hollywood, Ca. at American Rag Cie. on La Brea, close to Melrose. At the time I paid around $200.00 for it. Man, I can't believe I used to fit into it, and it was even a little big on me back then.

(sucking in my gut) - Mmmm, I might just go for it, just my size *wink*

I recall it having a couple of moth bites and it is kind of short on the length of pants. I let down those cuffs and what you see is a dark mark where the cuffs used to be.

There's always more to it than appears to there eye...

From what I was able to gather from the French text the seller never mentioned any moth nibbles, right?
