Might be season's end, but here is a NWT Lardini suit in much sought after grey flannel! I don't know much about this brand,but it gets good reviews on this forum.
Really nice 3 roll 2 with soft Italian shoulders. 100% wool in a fall/winter weight. True color is a medium gray - the fifth picture (pants) shows it best (the flash makes it appear lighter in other photos). Dual vents, multiple inside pockets. Flat front pants lined to the knee.
The buttons cannot be made working, unfortunately.
Lardini apparently makes the made-in-Italy Brooks Brothers suits. I have one, and it is virtually identical construction (though different cut). Non-fused lapels, but fused in body (sometimes generously called half-canvassed). But the thickness of the fabric seems to eliminate any draping issues.
The sleeve tag has come off, but is included, along with extra buttons. Front suit pockets are still basted shut.
Measurements:
Jacket:
Shoulders: 18
Chest: 43
Sleeves: 25
TOC/BOC: 31.5/30
Narrowest at waist ~ 2nd button: 40
Pants:
Flat front, trim (not tight) fit:
Waist: 34.5 (maybe fits a tad smaller due to thick fabric)
Inseam: 37 unfinished
Thigh: 12.5
Knee: 9.5
Hem: 8.5
This is a great every day suit at a great price!
$425 $400 SOLD including shipping CONUS.
