2 suits Heild Bros. and SF History Suit 40r

Thread Starter 
I have two suits up for sale. Both were bought used but in new condition. I have only worn each once since they never fit. I don't know how to measure the inseam on pants so the length is from the top of the waist to bottom of cuff(if someone wants to PM me how I can re-measure). Both suits have dual rear vents, double reverse pleats, and ticket pockets. Asking $150 shipped each

First up is a piece of SF history a "Quality Seller" MTM piece . Really a very cool suit, just to big for me.

Measurements

Jacket
Shoulders: 18"
Chest: 21"x2
Sleeves: 24" working button holes
Length: 31.5"

Pants
Waist: 34"
Length: 41"






Next is a Hield Brothers suit another interesting piece. Needs a good steaming to get rid of the wrinkles.

Measurements

Jacket
Shoulders: 18.5"
Chest: 21"x2
Sleeves: 24"
Length: 31.5"

Pants
Waist: 34"
Length: 41"

Thank you. Replied to your PM. But to answer the question for anybody else, unfortunately it does not feel like there is any additional fabric.

That suit is actually very nicely made. It's MTM and it's a VBC super 120's if I remember correctly. It's a nice cut, not real slim and not full either. I won't tell you what I paid, as it was pre-SF, but it was a hell of alot more than $130 The pattern is not loud, yes the lining is red and I have moved on from that now but this would make a great workhorse suit. I probably wore it twice. Pants should have a 30 inch inseam. Wouldn't mind if my name was taken off the label though

Sorry about that.....Realized it after I posted it. I didn't wear the suit but once so never got around to removing the name. Again sorry about that

Are the pants really size 34"x41" - isn't that a little long for a 40r suit? Also, are both suits 24" sleeves? Where are you in Maryland - I'm in Baltimore, any way I can possibly try them on (and subsequently buy them)? Thanks Mike
