NWOT: smaller D'Avenza suits gray nailhead 34R, tan 36S

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
These are what I will call NWOT
they are from a discounter and have that tag, but none of the hanging tags
they have not been worn
both of these are made by D'Avenza
there is a thread that comments that D'Avenza is comparable to Kiton, Brioni, Attolini, etc.. I would say that these are a notch below that, though retail is 3500-4000 on each, so maybe I should talk them up

** SOLD **
Gray Nailhead wool, tagged 34R
2 button, notch lapel with dual rear vents
plenty of handwork from what I can see
trousers are flat front
"D'Avenza" is seen on the composition tag, but all interior tags were removed before going to the discounter (as below also)


** now up on ebay at Bijan 36S **
Tan wool, tagged 36S
also 2 button, notch lapel and dual rear vents
the tag on the arm reads Bijan, which makes sense as D'Avenza makes/made alot of their suits. The "D'Avenza" part of the content tag has been cut off, but looks identical to three others that I've seen recently. The lining is plain (not signature Bijan)
Measurements
Chest - 37"
Shoulders - 16.25"
Length - 27.5"
Sleeves - 22.5"; feels like 2" material under cuff
Trouser waist - 30"
Inseam - hemmed at 32.5" with 2.75"remaining

hey, would you mind telling me how you measure shoulders and chest? As in, what parts of the suit do you measure? Thanks!

chest is measured by laying the jacket flat, pulling fabric taught, raising the arms and then doubling the measurement from the insertion of the sleeve (pit) to pit

shoulders are from sleeve insertion - the widest measurement from seam to seam

Length measured from bottom of collar to jacket hem

sleeve measured from seam of sleeve insertion to cuff end

I usually wear a 36, but these are really small! Nice suits.
