The Best of B&S - Someone should buy this!

The one you bought seems to measure a bit large for a 50EU, the other is more in line with what I'd expect.

That's what I thought to. But the tag said 40R, which got me thinking maybe the seller measured it wrong (it was from eBay). People at eBay often seem to measure the shoulder width wrong, or at least not like one is used to here by simply going from one shoulder seam to the other in a straight line across the back. They tend to move along the shoulder line up to the neck and down to the other shoulder seam along the shoulder line. Pretty much as SuitSupply shows in their pics. This adds approximately 0,25-0,5" from my experience.

Someone can pick up staple 40R RLBL suits at a crazy good bargain:

Thank you! That's my second RLBL suit in the past week or so. Got a new one in solid charcoal for $550 and used one in solid navy for $255 :slayer:

Not uncommon here as well. That Luciano Barbera jacket I copped was listed as a 50 but with an oddly small 20" pit to pit. I thought since it was unlined, I might have a chance of squeezing into it. Turns out it's actually 21.5", and being unlined, a bit big. So it goes.

Darn! it was you who beat me to it! Haha wear in good health. Please let me have the next one though! I'm in need of a charcoal or navy suit! I only have a black pair that I purchased 3 years ago for all my interviews. I know...terrible mistake to get black.

I wish the inseam was longer on those. I need 34" or a lot closer to that ...

Steeper in price than a lot of what we share here, but I'd still consider this good bang for your buck:

it may come back to hurt me a little (since i really do like this jacket but already have two similar ones) - is there any reason this one is still available http://www.styleforum.net/t/427841/...ket-by-old-town-clothing-38/0_30#post_7409605

as far as i know, @FlyingMonkey is a very reasonable person..

And they jacket and vest are now both sold! B&S works...

Great deal. Comes with two ties of your choosing: http://www.styleforum.net/t/403748/...ction-40r-navy-plaid-sport-coat-free-shipping

Surprised no one caught this one. Very cheap 7-fold ties offered in NYC, and in pretty classic patterns:

I can't comment on the brand because I know nothing about it, but hey 7-fold. Sadly, seller prefers not to ship outside CONUS so I'm SOL. He also apparently has a whole bunch of other ties to sell, so maybe try to score a package deal.

The fact that this bad boy is still floating around is criminal: http://www.styleforum.net/t/408875/price-drop-24-10-nwt-eidos-isaia-napoli-dark-brown-check-sc-40r

Compared to retail, this is practically free.
