Exhibit A

 

4 button, non vented, flat front/cuffed/lined pants

Its a decent suit, obvious handwork everywhere (lapels, collar, button holes) fully canvassed.

 

The tag doesn't look right to me, mainly because it has red stitching. Has anyone seen this before? Is it real?

I pass. I've been hard on Spoo, sending him some loud stuff and challenging him to eBay it, the reward is LuxeSwap thread love from me (he's earned it and of course his piece of the consignment split that he earns every cent of and more as far as I'm concerned). When I PM him on other matters and casually mention this ("you can thank your lucky stars I ain't sending you THIS"), he responds "Can you go back and get it?

I do. I get it home, I try it on. Fits like a glove. Even bloody short arm sleeve length perfect for me. Wife: "I like it! And I don't like a lot of what you're wearing [i.e. the Barbour tweed jackets I love and got NWT at the sample sale? She don't like 'em]."

Still, it's going to Spoo. I can't wear this and wake up the next day feeling good about myself...it looks to me like the dacron rec-room couches from the era...what y'all think?
