Here's a NWT Black Label solid navy suit in a slim 38R. It might go relatively cheap: the auction title doesn't mention Black Label, the pics aren't great and the suit has a small flaw. Opening bid is $49.99, and if the bidding doesn't take off, you could use some of the savings to have it rewoven. If this goes for $250 or less, I'd consider it a very good bargain on a hard-to-find size.

Damn, if only black label wasn't so slim I'd be all over that. I'm almost like a 39R and would probably need a 40R in black label.

Yeah, same here. Had it been bigger, I'd never have posted it.

I usually have to size up to a 40R in Black Label.

Interesting BL comments. I am a true 40R and find that the BL 40R fits me perfectly.

any idea its age? I bought a similar one with the same model name.
