Is this $75 eBay find too good to be true? Isn’t HF notoriously difficult to read unless you get into their numbering system by calling ‘em up? I haven’t done that just yet. What can you tell me about it? There’s no model number, instead it just says Hickey Freeman. Label stitching is V-pattern, not cross-stitched. But it looks great to my untrained eye. How’s the construction?

That label hasn't been used in some time, and it's a double-pleated trouser which isn't all that popular these days which is probably why it's such a good price.

Thanks! Can you tell what line it is? I don’t really care much about whether double pleats are in or not, so I’m happy to take the bargain. But is it good construction, do you know?
