edit: items sold


Three things for sale in various sizes all are New with Tags and never altered. All items will ship within 24-48 hours of payment via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.


1st up 2 button wool/silk sportcoat by Canali. Size 38r, 55% silk / 45% wool in a silvery grey with slight hints of blue (see close up). Higher lapel gorge and button stance with dual vents. Just for reference, I'm 5'9" and the top button comes up exactly between my navel and solar plexus (the bottom bit of where your two ribcage sides join) Slight and tasteful but not overdone roping on the shoulders. Fully canvassed and made in Italy, naturally. Retails for apx $1200

Measurements:
Shoulders: 18"
Chest: 42"
Sleeves: 25" + 1" to let
Length: 32" from top of collar

Price: SOLD

Next is a 3 button 42L tweed-like/heavy guaged/winter weight wool sportcoat by Mabro in a very difficult to photograph "rich blue". None of the photos really accurately depict the color, but in real life, it sits somewhere between a blue blue, and navy blue. Slight elements of royal blue and red woven in randomly (see close up). Dual vents, fully canvassed, "hand made" or so it says. Made in Italy. Retails for $1250 (stated on tags).

Measurements:
Shoulders: 19.25"
Chest: 45"
Sleeve: 27" +1" to let
Length: 34" from top of colloar
Price: SOLD


Last but certainly not least is a Paul Stuart suit by Gianluca Napoli* (NOT Gianluca Isaia Napoli) originally bought from Nitr-o of Isaia on Ebay fame. I'm selling it because it doesn't really fit me, and I didn't return it because just about everything else in his store is out of my price range and he only gives store credit.

*note: The suit doesn't actually say Paul Stuart by Gianluca or anything, but it was advertised as such by Nitr-o, and since he's well known as an honest seller and an all around good guy who even occasionally visits this forum, I see no reason to doubt his claim. That and the suit is made in Italy and the styling matches what I know of Gianluca (small, light shoulders, high lapel gorge and armhole, slightly fuller on the body, etc.)

Anyway, about the jacket it self. Size is 40R, but can probably fit a 41R with slimmer shoulders as well. The color is a slightly bluer than average navy (still looks navy, but maybe a more spring-like navy) with twin lighter blue strips framing a single grey stripe. Fabric is stated as 100's, but still feels very smooth and drapes very well, great for the coming spring and summer days. Jacket has 3 buttons, canvassed lapels, ticket pockets, high gorge, high armhole, dual vents. quarter (french) lined, hand picked stitching (no ugly machine stitching here). Sleeves are unfinished with buttons and threads provided. Pants are straight-relaxed flat front with adjustable side tabs, unhemmed. Paul Stuart suits retail at around $1500-$2000, don't know about this one specifically.

Jacket Measurements:
Shoulders: 18.75"
Chest: 45"
Sleeves: 25" +1" to let
Length: 31.5" from top of collar

Pants:
Waist: 34"
Inseam: 37" (unhemmed)
Outseam: 48" (unhemmed)
Thigh opening: 26"
Cuff opening: 19"

Price: SOLD

Here are the pics as requested.

1. Behind the lapel button hole. The button hole is actually a hole, by the way.

2. Back of the jacket button holes, the first picture is the 1st and the 2nd button while the second picture is the 2nd and 3rd button.

3. A REALLY close up shot of the back of the jacket button hole.

Hope this helps. In case you're wondering why the background is bright white like that, it's because I had laid one of my white dresshirts under it. So when the (cheap) camera tries to adjust it's exposure to show the dark suit, the white gets blown out because it can't cover the "dynamic range" difference between the white and navy... sorry, slipped into photography babble there.
