This is one of the nicest Purple Label suits you'll come across, being classical in its style and shape, and of St. Andrews construction. It is also my favorite and has been cared for accordingly, yet I don't wear it anymore since I started playing tennis again. There is tiny lining wear in right pit as a result of my T-rex right pec, which is shown in the pictures - and I stopped wearing as soon as I noticed. This could be dealt with by any tailor for $20-30 and be unnoticeable. So we're talking about a suit in great condition with a lifetime of wear remaining.

This suit can be worn both formally and informally. It's not flashy but it does make a statement of understated elegance... One of those garments that is just so obviously quality. In fantastic condition overall and ready for it's new owner / wearer.

A STEAL at $490 SHIPPED! $460 SHIPPED! only drop before ebay...!
