Oh it's really awful. It's the fur of a persian lamb foetus.Originally Posted by chorse123
Are you sure it's not the pubic hair of the Australasian monkeydog?

Yes the younger the lamb the more valuable the fur. Once it gets older, the curls start losing their tightness.Originally Posted by LabelKing
That's interesting because my curls got tighter as I aged. I started out like Shirley Temple and ended up with a sheep-like curl.

I never heard of this name, "astrakhan" is the city on Caspian sea famous for its Osetra caviar, not wool. They don't have any wool in Astrakhan'.
It is clearly baby sheep's skin called "karakulcha".

Actually this type of fur prasied for beautifull (natural) wave that looks more like a heavy fabric than a fur and also for complete lack of curl.

And here's a NWT Hickey Freeman in 38R:Originally Posted by DocHolliday

Gray with rust stripes.
Nice find. Someone got a good deal. I don't think HF makes as many 38R as larger sizes. At least they are harder to find on sale.
No. The standard Hickey Freeman suits are fully canvassed with handsewn buttonholes.Originally Posted by A Harris
Yeah! I think Hickey Freeman does not get enough respect around here, primarily because their silhouettes can be on the dowdy side. But if you get one that fits well, they can be great. I just bought this side vented, three roll two (presumably) plaid with windowpane and can't wait for it to arrive:

May I ask you wtf is "astrakhan"?Originally Posted by dkzzzz
Dead baby lamb fetus fur, supposedly from stillborns, but reports have shown that farmers kill the adults to get the precious pelt. At least thats what I read about it, who knows if it is true.

Yeah, the price is crazy and the auction is not over yet.
The seller is mysnappydeals which was formerly the well known bondysbayauctions.
Blondysbay is no longer a registered Ebay account. Strange!

We 38Rs get the short end of the stick. Most of the suits/sportcoats that show up at STP start at 40, and it's hard to find NWT deals on eBay. Meanwhile, a solid charcoal Canali in 44R sits unsold with a BIN of $375. And it's NWT!

And people say the economy is bad.
Clearly there's lots of people with too much money, or too little bargain hunting skills.
Or maybe they just don't give a sh*t.
