Just picked this tux up for the minimum bid of $179.99. Pal Zileri SB tux with peak labels:

Sounds like a pretty good deal, if you don't wear that tie with it.

+1.

I'm curious as well. I love how PZ fits and actually was in the market for a tux when I struck gold with a RLPL one. I did shoot for a PZ tux but I couldn't find one in my size. I tried one on recently and the fit was excellent. But, be careful on PZ sizing (especially white label). I am a consistent 40R in just about every make, and I found the 38R PZ to be a better fit than 40R.

So the 36 on eBay could work for me? I'm a 38 and need a good cheap tux.

I'll post once I get it and let you know about the fit. I'm a 36 chest with somewhat broad shoulders, so I'm hoping for a pretty good fit without much work here. If it's nice but a little too big I might PM you to see if you're still in the market.

Will do. The measurements cited seemed about right for me and I decided to grab.

It depends what label it is. The white label defeinitely fits one size smaller for me (I'm a 40 but would wear a 38). I've heard that the sartoriale line is truer to size and there's one more PZ label out there (the lower of the 3), but I'm not sure how it fits.
