Finally,

A true piece of art... Gorgeous Suit made of Loro Piana Super 110's Fabric, by Ravazollo...

Ravazollo is a bit lesser known than the Brioni's, Canali's, and Kiton's, but it offers a great cut, is fully canvassed, and looks stunning. A mixed herringbone as well as a stripe...Fantastic.

PRICE DROP Asking: $250 Shipped ---> $175 Shipped LAST PRICE DROP

Measurements

Jacket:

Chest: 45.5 Inches
Waist: 42 Inches
Sleeves: 26 Inches
Shoulders: 20 Inches
Total Length: 33.75 Inches

Trousers:

Waist: 33.25 Inches
Inseam: 32.5 Inches
Total Length: 45 Inches

Pictures look good, though a touch dark in some. Good luck.

I like the detail pictures of the fabric. One detail you omit is whether/how these jackets are vented.

Also, the pictures with an extremely shallow depth-of-field scream "I just started learning photography." Depth of field should highlight a detail, like functional buttonholes. Alternatively, you could use it to obscure the background, a la the top photo here.

Overall, I like the fact that you're trying to take good pictures of your garments rather than just snapping some pics and assuming everyone knows that they represent. As a general rule, the more I know about an item the more I'm willing to pay for it.

Great offerings, wish more were 42l or 44l. On the Ravazollo how much can be let out in the waist?

The thing is, if he's not using flash (which it doesn't look like he did), he needs all the speed he can get (unless he's using a tripod). I handhold and have to use low f-stops, which result in a shallow depth of field but which otherwise would not come out at all. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Thanks for the comments guys! About the lack of back pics...It's an issue of my mannequin...Things look great from the front, but somehow just don't drape well at all from the back...I'll probably end up laying it flat on a nice surface for the back pic...

For the record, I'm using a Canon SD1000

I do have a tripod, but I wasn't using it...About the depth of field, I was actually trying to get an effect similar to the pic that you linked to, but just haven't quite figured out how to do that...
