WTB Tuxedo, 38R, black

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
looking for a black tuxedo.

size 38 jacket
34x32 pants

doesn't need to be exact - just close enough so I can have it altered to fit.

I prefer peak lapels, but I will consider shawl or notch

not interested in fashiony things - strictly classic

Can people post what they have in the thread? I am looking for the same thing, so I'd be interested in anything that Combo isn't.

Have a look at this.

econd is a Chipp One Button Peak lapel Tuxedo with grosgrain lapels, buttons and trouser stripes. The tux is labeled 40R, however the measurements point more to a 37 or 38. It is a light-weight wool. Asking $100 shipped CONUS. There is one issue. The trousers have had an insert added at the center rear. This adds about two inches to the waist and lets out the seat a bit. From everything I can tell (and you can see it in the pics) a tailor merely split the rear seam, as you would in letting out or taking in any pants, and added a V shaped piece of cloth that could just as easily be removed. Removing it would return the waist to 36" or, further reduction could be taken from there.

The questions I've been getting indicate a concern that the trousers would still be to large at the waist even with the insert removed. I said above that removing the insert would return the waist to 36". However, that would be at the fullest extension of the waist. If they were returned to their original condition (which should be no problem for a quality tailor) you would turn in an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half of fabric on each side of the rear seam and be left with an original waist size of about 33". As with any pants you could take them in some from the original waist size, meaning they can reasonably go down to a 32" waist or slightly less.

Jacket
Chest Pit to Pit 20 3/4
Sleeve 24
Shoulder 17
Length 30
Waist at button 19 1/2

Trousers
Waist 37 1/2 with 2" insert
Outseam 44
Inseam 31 3/4 only about an inch turned under

PM me with any questions or interest.
