FS: $3000 Antonio Liverano suit, 42r

Thread Starter 
Well, much as I like this suit I just don't think the borrelli-style trousers work for me so I'm selling it. I have literally worn this suit ONCE, after removing the $3400 pricetag from Saks Fifth Avenue. Wonderful suit, would work for a 42reg, likely a 40regular, and maybe a 42 short. $500 or best offer.

blue and black nailhead pattern, 3 button Antonio Liverano suit, Marked size 52 Drop 7 (European), size 42 US.
very italian cut. jacket pockets jetted, not flapped. Very nice work in the suit, tried to photograph the handstitching in the lapel and lapel buttonhole.

Double vented Jacket:
chest about 44 inches, similar to the chest on a brioni size 42reg.
Length: Approx 30.5 from under the collar
Sleeves: approx 24.5 from shoulder seam, FUNCTIONAL HANDSTITCHED BUTTONHOLES (I had the sleeves finished by custom clothing of Atlanta tailors)

double pleated Trousers:
waist, approx 36 inches
overall length 41 inches
inseam 31", trousers are finished with 1 3/4 inch cuffs.
trouser width at cuff: approx 8 1/4 inches (reminds me exactly of Borrelli trousers, a trim cut).

I remember when you bought this suit because I bought a Liverano Navy Blazer at Saks off 5th only because you had mentioned the name and spoke so highly of it. I had never heard of it before. I love my Blazer. Look at the tag and see if you think it looks like an Isaia tag, because I think Isaia made my Blazer for Liverano's RTW. Either way it's a great suit. Someone should jump on this.

From the first photo, I thought that you had some really funky hair.

From where I think your knees are, the jacket seems short by about an inch. And those WORKING BUTTON HOLES are going to make it that much harder to sell because 24.5 is a difficult sleeve length .... :-(

yes, about those sleeve lengths - sleeves from my suit jackets seem to be 26.5 inches as measured from shoulder seam to sleeve end with tape running past the sleeve buttons. How tall are you?
Question to yourself or anyone else ('scuse my ignorance) - how tricky is it to lengthen sleeves? ... if at all possible?

I'm fairly certain that these were made in the same facility as the Attolini/Barbera jackets.

It's easy so long as you don't have the damn working button holes, then the only issue is ironing out the crease. With working button holes, surgery on the sleeve must be done at the shoulder joint, which is possible, but tricky and more expensive.
