I wore this twice and it just isn't cutting it for me...
It was originally $1295 from Brooks Brothers - Navy with off whitish pin stripes - 2 button double breasted with 2 side vents, and pointed lapels, 100% wool, Made in Italy...
Asking $225 shipped anywhere in the USA. $15 for international shipping.
Thanks for looking...
Mike

shoulders: 18.5"
top to bottom: 32"
sleeves: 25"

Not my size, but an interesting suit. You may want to add trouser inseam--something I look for first when a suit has been altered.

The inseam is 30" and the waist is 35.5" - the bottoms have a 1" cuff which can be let out if needed...

Is this really 32" long? That seems kind of excessive considering the other proportions and I think would make this more of a 40L.

I will remeasure it tonight and fix the post if necessary - it didn't seem too long to me when I wore it...but then again, who knows...

How can you have a 39" chest on a 40R suit? That doesn't make sense to me.

the chest is approxiamtely 19-19.5" and the top to bottom length is 32" - it fits like a regular 40R, so this does sound a little odd...
