I have two suits up for sale. Both were bought used but in new condition. I have only worn each once since they never fit. I don't know how to measure the inseam on pants so the length is from the top of the waist to bottom of cuff(if someone wants to PM me how I can re-measure). Both suits have dual rear vents, double reverse pleats, and ticket pockets. Asking $150 shipped each

First up is a piece of SF history

Next is a Hield Brothers suit another interesting piece. Needs a good steaming to get rid of the wrinkles.

Very nice suits.

I bet edmorel would know the inseam measurement of the pants on that custom suit.

Thank you. Replied to your PM. But to answer the question for anybody else, unfortunately it does not feel like there is any additional fabric.

That suit is actually very nicely made. It's MTM and it's a VBC super 120's if I remember correctly. It's a nice cut, not real slim and not full either. I won't tell you what I paid, as it was pre-SF, but it was a hell of alot more than $130

The pattern is not loud, yes the lining is red and I have moved on from that now but this would make a great workhorse suit. I probably wore it twice. Pants should have a 30 inch inseam. Wouldn't mind if my name was taken off the label though

Are the pants really size 34"x41" - isn't that a little long for a 40r suit?
Also, are both suits 24" sleeves? Where are you in Maryland - I'm in Baltimore, any way I can possibly try them on (and subsequently buy them)?
Thanks
Mike

The pant length was from the top of the waist to the bottom. The inseam should be 30" Both sleeve lengths are 24"

I will send you a PM
