from the buying and selling faq: Firm asking prices are necessary unless you are running an auction, in which case, it must be clearly described as such, and the auction process must be transparent.

Fine vinous. $300 USD shipped to CONUS only.
I was looking for a fair offer as I'm unsure what to ask for price but so be it.

Those measurements seem totally off... can you post pictures with a measuring tape?

What parts of the suit did you have tailored? It certainly appears that the sleeve length was shortened.

Thanks for making me aware of the sleeve length. I remeasured from the shoulder to the bottom of the sleeve (in the middle) in corrected the sleeve length to be 26.5.
I do apologize and I am, by no means, A Harris
I'm going to post pictures tomorrow for y'all.
Do any other measurements seem way off? I will be happy to remeasure

the chest measurement seems way off. It should be at least 46" if the suit is a 44R.

I've measured multiple times...and it is the correct chest measurement.
Boateng does cut a slimmer shape than others....

I own a Boateng suit and it's pretty typical as far as the chest measurement goes. 43" is far too small unless it's been altered. Did you measure it with it buttoned up or not?

Yes, it was buttoned. I took measurements exactly as described by A Harris here: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=1463

It's been slightly altered both at the waist and in sleeve length, but the alterations were minimal. Fine tuning really.

^^So is the sleeve length a 26.5" after alteration or was your initial 24" measurement correct?
