FS: Thick as Thieves grey wool suit (size 40R)

Got this suit from Jason, but, unfortunately, it's a little tight in the back. It's really a great suit: the fabric has a great hand to it and the construction is excellent.

This is the grey wool fabric with a 3-roll-2 jacket (see pictures). The jacket is a size 40 (see measurements below) with an inch added to the length. The sleeves are 25" long and are WITHOUT working buttonholes, making it easier to tailor. The pants are a size 34, although the measurements would probably work better for someone who's a 32 (e.g., the front rise), and are unhemmed. The suit is new, and obviously unworn, minus me trying on the jacket.

A really great suit, but as I mentioned before, it doesn't quite fit me (damn!). I'm willing to let it go for $375 shipped within the US. If necessary, I can provide an eBay ID and you can look at my feedback.

More information on these suits can be found in this thread or at www.thickasthievesla.com.

Thanks, guys!

Damn, looks really nice. You should post these pictures in the other thread, it's made me want the 3-2 even more.

Might I make a request, can you provide your chest measurement and picture of your wearing jacket? I'm wanting buy a TaT suit, but I'm debating over sizes. The 2" difference seems very small to be. Thanks.

I should add that Jason's been kind enough to sell this suit at the retail location. I'm hoping it might sell here quicker.

I'm just shy of 40". The 2" difference is fairly small; it's a very slim cut jacket. I have fairly well-developed shoulders and that, coupled with the high armholes of the jacket, are what's making it too tight for me.

I will try to post pictures of me wearing the jacket, ala Get Smart if I can, shortly.

You may be better off getting the 42 in any future orders, if that's the case.

I love people who make faces at you and never actually say what their problem is.

Sam, have you talked with Jason about how to fix those fit issues if you were to try again? I'm going to have the same problems, so would like to know how to attack. Sorry to continue the derail of the thread, but this is the first time TaT has gotten anything other than rave reviews. I fully believe that the raves are justified, but you can learn more from imperfections sometimes. Tom

As he said, it's most likely due to his build. On top of that, the suits are fitted quite close.

Tom,

I think if you do order a suit, you'll love it. The fabric, construction, and cut, especially at this price point, are great.

The problem is that I was just a little perfunctory in checking measurements. I think if I sized up to a 42, as Jovan wrote, and tucked the waist in on the jacket, I'd be set. In fact, that's what I'm going to do on my next order.

I'm pretty sure the waist would be nipped enough. At least to my tastes, but your mileage may vary. *shrug* I'm sizing up to a 40 since my shoulders are pretty broad and don't like mine as closely fitting. Another jacket I own is darn close to the specs of the 40 jacket, and fits perfect.

Any takers? If you buy this suit, you'll be the envy of your friends and you will get laid. I guarantee it.
