Brooks Bros Greenfield Golden Fleece suit, 42L

This is one of Brooks Brothers' top-of-the-line Golden Fleece suits made for them by Martin Greenfield Clothiers in New York. It's a solid gray 9.5 oz. wool/cashmere blend from the Walterboro book of fabrics that Brooks has made for them in Huddersfield, England. It's the best fabric they offer outside the MTM program. The construction quality is excellent, too--the best available from Brooks, the suit is fully canvassed and features significant amounts of handwork. How much handwork depends on whom you ask, but in any case it's enough to produce a very fine, beautifully made, extremely comfortable suit.

This one is single-breasted, two button, with notch lapels, flapped lower pockets, welt breast pocket, and single center vent. Buttonholes, including the lapel hole, are all hand-stitched. Four interior pockets, including two breast pockets, one pen pocket, and one lower ticket pocket. Trousers have double reverse pleats, cuffs, and belt loops, including the loop for your belt buckle's prong.

It is in as-new condition. It was altered for a Brooks customer who either changed his mind or didn't pick it up, so Brooks marked it out of stock and wrote it off (hence the cut-out labels and MOS written in the lining). The suit has never been worn, and is in perfect condition.

This suit retails at $1600, and a basic color like this is rarely discounted. I'm asking just $200 shipped in the continental US, a savings of over 85%!

The tagged size is 42 long; as always, please look at the measurements below for specifics. PM me if you're interested or if you have questions.

Measurements
Jacket:
Chest: 45"
Waist: 41.5"
Shoulders: 19.5"
Sleeves: 24" +2" to let down
Length from bottom of collar: 33"

Trousers:
Waist: 35" +3" to let out
Inseam: 31" +3/4" to let down
Cuffs are 1.5" wide.

If those pants were flat front I'd be all over it--I'm considering it anyway. Nice suit.

If your local brooks will alter it, they can do that conversion. It is around 45 to 65.

If that was regular I would be all over that. Great suit.

Someone PMed me with this question, so I might as well post the answer publicly:

Trouser width at knee is 11.5" (23" circumference)
Width at cuff is 9" (18" circumference).

Price dropped to $185 shipped.

I'd be all over this if some midget didn't have it altered. What kind of person buys a 42 Long and has an inseam of 31 inches? I see this fairly often. I am 6'3 and my outseam is 45 inches (inseam around 34-35).

Someone with a long torso and shorter legs, probably. The inseam could be made as much as 33.25" without cuffs, though that may still be too short for you.

Now $175 shipped. Surely someone can wear this beautiful suit!

Now asking $150 shipped. Reasonable offers entertained.

How about $80 just for the jacket?

hello

Nice suit. Real shame about those stubby trousers.

PMed you, Harrow.

Well, Harrow hasn't responded, so this is still available. If anybody is interested, I will seriously consider any reasonable offer. It will go to Ebay soon, I suppose.
