ebay suits, sportcoats, and other clothing

Here's an opportunity. An Oxxford 42R Sport coat for $12.95.

About 4 hours to go on Ebay and no bids.

The seller listed the coat as Oxford and not Oxxford!!!

Not the most recent Oxxford, but a good starter for someone, and it looks like a sport coat and not an orphan:

Here's the listing:

Really? I had seen it and thought it a suit coat from a v. nice PoW suit.

Maybe it is a suit coat but I think it could work as a sport coat.

$12 for an Oxxford! What's the downside?

I tried to use the "DocHolliday Oxxford determination" method. I.E. Are the front coat buttons 2 hole or 4 hole, but I couldn't tell.

Now that you mention it. The sleeves do have 4 buttons, but I think it's a classic POW style coat that could easily work with odd pants.

BTW: I have no connection to the auction, and I'm not bidding. But if someone is just starting their Sartorial journey, I think this Oxxford would be a winner.

I bought a orphaned Oxxford navy glenplaid suit coat that I love. I put on new buttons and now have a very light weight and yet unique navy sport coat. I'm wearing it right now at my meeting in Scottsdale.

sad part is you actually took the time to act like a 12 yr old to code those links

and for what? I really don't care what weird stuff he has listed, I posted it for the good things he has, take it or leave it.

It sounds more and more like this is your store. Its OK, don't be shy. You're allowed to post your for sale links in this forum. Honestly I think those pants are quite fabulous. Otherwise most of the stuff is on the large size and more like cruisewear. Some nice mid 40's suits from HF, BB, etc and good low starting bids. I also like how many items are shown on the model; that is always a big help. But hey, when we see items like those 3, someone is going to post the links.

And we so appreciate the service.

Never, I think you shouldn't take the above posts personally. The seller has some amusing items; that's all. Doesn't mean the link is unappreciated.

+1.
I have no ill intention toward either you or the seller. Just amused by his "novelty" listings. Please take it for what it's worth.
Best,

There are some less-than-stellar reviews of this seller in the forum archives of both AA and SF, if I remember correctly. I've never bought from him. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Credit where credit is due: I think it's really the "AlanC Oxxford determination method." At least that's where I got it from, as best as I can recall.
