WTB 40L Tux for March 1 Event

For about five hundred, we can make one up for you if you send detailed measurements (by a tailor), and a complete set of photos. It could be in before March 1. Please contact me at tailoring@stylites.net if you are interested. This would use English fabric in around an s110. You can send pictures of the item you want.

If you'd considering going with separate trousers and dinner jacket, I still have these:
NWOT RL Polo Black flannel tuxedo trousers
these are tagged 40L with Corneliani label (suit orphans); measure 34" waist; inseam unhemmed
these are flat front and have sliders and no belt loops; they do have buttons for braces
tags says 'Blue Label' for model, but have Polo tag
composition is 95% wool, 5% cashmere
offered at $100, shipped

Have a look at the measurements on this one. I have it listed as a 38R, but the tag says, I believe, 41. The approximate measurements are listed, but it may be to short. 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.
