Thread Starter 
Hi again, as part of my rationalisation of my clothes, I'm offering a few more items up for sale here, before I hit the 'Bay.

Hi. The sizes on the Dunhill are as follows:

Shoulder Seam to Shoulder Seam 19"
Armpit to Armpit 22"
Sleeve Length 26"
Length 33"

These are approximate sizes, but i'm pretty sure that they are accurate.

Thanks

Clint

That Canali was mine and purchased brand new from Bernini in 2002. It is full canvas and was only worn maybe 6-10 times. It is a great basic pencil pinstripe charcoal for a very good price. Retail was 1695 or so.

I would've bought it were it the right size. Looks sharp.

Are you sure about the armpit to armpit measurements and to a lesser degree the shoulder measurements? Those measurements seem a little small for a US 46 EU 56. How are you measuring?

You're quite right, it does seem a little small for a US 46.

As per your instruction, I have measured from the Shoulder Seam to the Shoulder seam on the jacket and from the armpit crease to the other one and then i've doubled it. There was a little excess material in the chest area when I was measuring the pits, but I wasn't sure whether they need to be measured.

I've measured again and the pit to pit size is now 24" (once i've pull the jacket and ignored the seam on the underside of the arm. The shoulder to shoulder is 20"

Sorry about that, I hope that this is more like the real size.

Let me say that i've never worn the suits, i'm selling here. I purchased them with a view to get them altered to my "new" size, but i've got too many suits already.

Thanks
