I love to pass on real values to SF members. I'm sort of like a non Korean SF member "shoe"

Canali suit SOLD & AE Graysons SOLD, Thanks SF! Lot's of interest but nothing final. Canali Suit pictures are below those of the AEs Graysons. I also just realized the Canali suit might work for a size 38R, or 39R (it's cut slim), check the measurements. to see if it can work for you. Allen Edmonds Graysons in Merlot Burnished Calf that I bought in a size 10&1/2 EEE. I wear an 11D and while these work for me they are a little tight and I thought I'd sell them for a very good price to a buyer. The uppers are like new, 9.9 out of 10, and the soles look like shoes that have been worn about 10 times. They list for $315 and Bennies sells them for $265;

Here's Bennies $265 listing for the Graysons I would sell these(pictured below) for $50 delivered CONUS. A $210 saving over Bennies price and a $255 saving over list price. Pictures of the actual AEs for sale:

I also have a really nice Canali main line size 50R-7-C which I think equates to an American size 40R drop7(so it is slim). It might well work for a size 38R or 39R too, so check the measurements. It's a slim cut suit. It's a great 3/2 roll with dual vents, flapped pockets, and pleated pants. It's a great charcoal-blue light-medium weight fabric with subtle stripes. It looks to be worn once or twice. I would sell it for $175 delivered CONUS, OBO. It is exactly like the Bluefly suit or it is a twin brother. Canali pictures:

I'll take pictures in the light tomorrow to get the best representation of color. It is exactly like the Bluefly suit or it could be a twin brother.

Pictures of the AEs and the Canali suit are finally up.

There's been a lot of PMs but nothing is finalized on either and they are both definitely available.

Thanks in advance,

You've misidentified the size on the suit. A 50 C equates to a 40 S, not a 40 R.

Other than the cuff, is there any extra length in the pants? In other words, if I wanted a 30-inch inseam, would I be able to get that with cuffs?

I'm not sure. There's some additional material beside the cuff, but I almost always see people saying that a cuffed inseam can generally only be lengthened by giving up the cuff. I think that an inch could be gained with a cuff retained.

I'm no tailor though. I'm going to take a picture and get a knowledgeable member or a tailors opinion. Hope that helps.

E Graysons price dropped to $45 or OBO!

Can't go a whole lot lower.

Lots of interest, but no one has pulled the trigger on the Canali suit yet either. Make an offer.
