OH YEAH!!!

[Wild Root]

Ok, I had no intentions on biding on this suit but... what the heck!

I saw it was my size, my style and something that I have been looking for, for a long time! This suit is going to be one of the best suits in the closet! I'm so about this suit! I won it, I don't know how, but I won it! I thought for sure it was going to go higher but, it didn't.

Here she is!

I was watching that 'un. Quite a suit. Price went kinda nuts towards the end, eh? ...

Beautiful suit and worth every penny. Post pictures when it comes. :eusa_clap

That's a very dashing suit, Mr. Root. I love how the item description says it even comes with "vintage underarm odor". That must have been what made the price go up so high. I love that great vest too!

 

[Matt Deckard]

They don't call you Wild root for nothing... that suit is out of site.

Hope it fits you to a tee!

 

[EdinLA44]

Wild Root, that's a great looking suit. You did well on that one. :eusa_clap

Not a good one! Or a good custom one for that matter. $337. is a drop in the bucket for a minty 40's suit with original under arm odor.lol

hmmm I wonder if the minty smell covers up the vintage arm area olfactory unpleasantness?

No. Those are just breath mints from the wearer.

I was watching that too, an amazing find. Too big for me, but I was curious to see how high a suit in that size and in that good condition would go. Seeing a lot of larger (for the period) suits on ebay lately.

 

[Mr. 'H']

I saw that suit off the bat and even had it in "I'm watching" items, but there was no way it'd fit me unfortunately!

It'll suit you.

:eusa_clap

 

[Wild Root]

The vintage old smell is what makes the world go around!

Yeah, I had a feeling that I wasn't the only one here watching that suit... but, all you guys should know that if you see a big sized suit on ebay, Root is bound to be around!

[BellyTank]

It's a good one Root- my size too...

[Wild Root]

Really? You're the same size Tank? Well, I'll let you get the next one

I'll post photos of me wearing it soon as I get it! I hope it will come before my birthday; I'd love to sport that baby on my day.

Beautiful Suit Root

Take it from a guy that appreciates a truly nice 3 piece suit, you got a great one there, but you already know that. Can't wait to see the pics.

Cheers

[clevispin]

Congrats! Beautiful fabric - conservative but not boring. Any back story on its excellent condition?

[Wild Root]

I can't wait to get it! I have emailed the people who sold it to me and they are vintage clothing dealers. They told me that the condition is really good and that I'm going to be 100% happy with it. They mentioned that they love vintage clothes and that a guy who loves them as much as me wouldn't even notice the vintage odor. I gave them a link to the Lounge too so; we may have a few new members soon.

The photos on the auction page tell the whole story! The stripes on this suit are just amazing! I've only seen that pattern on lonely coats that have lost their matches, now; I found one in my size all together!

Photos will come soon as I get it! You can bank on it!
