Up for sale is a new-with-tags suit from Brooks Brothers' highest-quality line: Golden Fleece. And by new-with-tags, I mean SUPER new-with-tags, because the factory basting threads are still attached. As a bonus, I'm throwing in two new-with-tags ties from the selection below.

The Golden Fleece line is superior to the mid-range 1818 line because it is fully canvassed, as opposed to half canvassed.

The solid navy blue fabric on this suit is awesome. Can't go wrong with navy. Most versatile color out there. A true staple workhorse for SF newcomers and regulars alike. You will not be disappointed!

Tagged a 41R, but it runs slim in the waist, so more like a 40R

Suit Specs:

-Made in USA
-Four season weight fabric (100% wool, woven in England -- same company that supplies Kiton, Brioni, and Martin Greenfield)
-Full canvas construction
-Unfinished sleeves (comes with original Brooks Brothers brand buttons)
-Low two-button stance / center vent / slim pleated pants
-Jacket fully lined with bemberg
-Slim cut with great trim waist
-Incotex-style split waistband on pants
-Will generally need little or no alterations off the rack (aside from adding the sleeve buttons)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden Fleece full canvas suits go for $1600, which turns into about $1735 when you factor in sales tax.

I am offering this Golden Fleece full canvas suit at $650 shipped CONUS, which is less than the price of a half canvas Fitzgerald suit on sale. The fits are very similar, but obviously this is of much higher construction quality.

$650 shipped CONUS
$625 shipped CONUS

Inquire for international shipping rates.

PayPal or Postal Money order. As is implied with all SF classified listings, the sale is final. Sold as is.

Another member sold a used navy Golden Fleece for $650. This one is new with tags

I'd be all over this if it were long. Someone should grab it.

Now comes with two FREE new-with-tags ties. They aren't dregs either. (Polo made in Italy and Psycho Bunny made in USA) Doesn't get much better than this.
