Fixed measurements on the first suit. I had the shoulders miss-labeled as 18 inches wide. They are actually about 18.75 inches seam to seam.

Is there any indication as to why the gray suit was marked and sent to the outlet? Any flaws?

No flaws. I believe this suit was simply not picked up by the customer from a retail store.

Couple questions about the Charcoal 42R

1) Does it have the buttons for the sleeves still, with the basted arms, I'm assuming they are in a pocket somewhere?

2) Is their basting on the shoulders or is it just the arms that are unfinished? Trying to estimate how much tailoring work would be required.

3) Is there room to take out the waist? If so, how much?

Thanks.

1. Real horn buttons are included in a pouch in the pocket.

2. No basting in the shoulders. Just the arms are unfinished.

3. There is about 2 inches to let out of the waist of the trousers (there is a total of 2.5 to 3 inches of material, but you need to leave a half inch or so to sew it back).

How that helps.

1. Yes, the suit is from an outlet. But it is new and unworn.

2. Typically, with BB GF, the larger suits are a drop 6 (I've even seen drop 5). So a 40 inch waist for a 46 R coat is typical.

Yeah, but a good tailor can re-cut them to your size. More expensive, but when you're getting a GF suit for this price you're still far ahead.
