IN STOCK Tan corduroy. Tagged EU48 but I think it's better for a US 39 or US 40. I bought this for myself but it's too large for me. The thin wale gives it a different look. Soft and would be fun to wear, but alas, too big for me. Three roll two, side vents, flat front pants. $150

Jacket Shoulder 18.5" Chest: 42" Waist: 39" Length: 30" Sleeve: 25.25" Trousers Waist: 33" Rise: 10.25" Ankle: 8.75 Unfinished *********************************************************************************** Available, but not in stock If anyone is interested, I have seen these and should be able to get them: US36 / EU46, wide wale black, flapped pockets, can't remember re trousers, but I think flat front US39 / EU49, wide wale green, flapped pockets and single reverse pleat trousers US39 / EU49, thin wale brown, flapped pockets, can't remember re trousers, but I think flat front. This was like the tan suit above. US40 / EU50, wide wale tan, flapped pockets, flat front pants. Very nice and very close to my green suit. US41 / EU51, wide wale green, flapped pockets and single reverse pleat trousers US41 / EU51, wide wale navy, flapped pockets and single reverse pleat trousers *********************************************************************************** OUT OF STOCK The green suit below is currently out of stock. I am trying to get more. I picked up a wide wale dark green corduroy suit a few weeks ago and just got it back from the tailor (he shortened the sleeves by 3/8" and gave the pants a two inch cuff). I was so happy with it I went in search of other colors. Instead, I found two more of this one, and I thought I'd put them up for sale here. 100% cotton. 3 roll 2 button. Side vents. Notch lapel. Two patch pockets with a regular breast pocket. Nice slim fit with great pants. I plan on wearing mine as a suit and wearing each piece separately. Just perfect for fall. The maker is Confitalia, which I gather is a Naples based manufacturer. These are machine made suits that are almost certainly fused, but the shoulders aren't too strong or heavily padded. The quality is at least as good as something from a Banana Republic or J.Crew (for significantly less $$) and the fit is certainly more Italian than American. The chest is a little stiff, but it doesn't bother me as much for something like corduroy. This is not a suit you treat delicately. Also, I should add that the buttons are not great. They're not so awful that it's absolutely necessary to change them, but I put a very nice set of real horn buttons on mine (for $25 or so) and it makes a huge difference. I am currently OUT OF STOCK. I may be able to get more. Cost is $150 shipped in the U.S. Add $20 for Canada. Overseas, contact me and I'll figure out the cost.

What are the measurements? And how high are the armholes?

I added measurements for the 38/48. I can also take them for the 36/46. The armhole seems average. Not super high (it could probably be a little higher for my taste), but not terribly low. I don't know how helpful this is, but from the edge of the shoulder down to the bottom of the arm opening measures 9.5"

Looks great and price is good!

You have my size as well....tempting, just not sure if I'd ever wear a cord suit.

Yeah, I like it a lot. I want to find it in navy because I think it would be fantastic. Anyway, I'm not out to make a killing on these, especially since the maker is an unknown here.

I'm not sure you'd get much wear out of a cord suit in southern California.

I don't think I can get any longs, and they do measure a little on the short side.

I can get the suit in a 39R, a 36R in black, and potentially some larger sizes. Some of them may not have patch pockets. Let me know if you want this in a specific regular size (give me the Euro size you'd like) and I'll look. I'm on the hunt for 40/50R for two SF members.

Hi,

At this price I will gamble on a 42/52eu, preferably with patch pockets.

Many Thanks

Any chance of you getting your hands on one of these in brown? I may well be interested (in a 38). Looks a great suit at that price.

34" waist for a 38R seems kinda weird. That's a lot to have to take in for a normal ~6" drop.
