I recently picked up two pre-owned Polo Ralph Lauren suits in a size 40. One is a dark olive brown bird's-eye (with ticket pocket) the other a navy blue pinstripe. I like them both but I've come to the conclusion that Ralph makes suits for people with more muscular arms and chests than mine...
I may be interested to trade these for suits or jackets which fit me better. I'm 6.1, 148 pounds. Looking for suits/jackets with the following measurements:
shoulder width: 18-18.5"
chest (pit to pit): 20.5-21"
sleeve length: 25-25.5"
length boc: 30.5-31"

Both suits are made by Corneliani ("Cooper model"), from a few years ago but looking great.

Bird's-eye:
Tag reads 50L (EUR). 3 button (rolls to 2.5), double vent. Ticket pocket. Trousers (waist 34) have double reverse pleats and suspender buttons, hemmed at 33".

Navy pinstripe:
Tag reads 50R (EUR). 3 button (rolls to 2.5), double vent. Trousers (waist 34) have single reverse pleats and suspender buttons, hemmed at 33". At some point these trousers were taken in at the waist. I had them let out again to their original waist size and discovered that the trouser seat was mended at some point to camouflage a tiny hole in the seat. Close-up reveals waist tailoring history just under the hem. It's not obvious and in any case, a gentleman does not remove his suit jacket...

Both suits have been dry-cleaned and as I said I had quite a bit of work done on them to restore them to their proper condition.
Would consider selling them as well, pm me if you're interested.

Christian Dior Suit in Blue sharkskin. I'm a size 38R, but it's a bit big on me - more of a 39/40R. I can send measurements if interested. Pants are 32/30, and have a small tear (so willing to let this one go easy).

Also have an Armani suit on the Mani line, Black with tan/white pinstripes. Jacket is a little bigger than a 38R, pants are about a 34/30.

PM if interested, I can send pics and measurements.
