Up for sale is an incredible NWT Canali suit. Recent season model. (2011-ish)

This thing hits every damn note on the iGent scale. Full of win. Cut slim.

I'll let the specs speak for themselves:

-Made in Italy by Canali
-Full canvas construction
-Soft shoulder with minimal padding
-High armholes
-Low two-button stance
-Double vents (with factory basting attached --- aka SUPER new with tags)
-Four season weight 100% virgin wool fabric
-Charcoal with subtle blue Prince of Wales check / Glen plaid
-Jacket fully lined with cupro bemberg
-Flat front pants
-Slim cut with great waist suppression
-Will generally need little or alterations (aside from the hem)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At full retail with sales tax, this suit would costs approximately $1945. (see tag)

Considering keeping this suit and tweaking the shoulders to fit my frame a bit. I have a bad habit of kopping stuff even if it doesn't fit perfectly. Selling this suit at cost. Since this is an extreme staple suit, I will not be considering lowball offers.

$725 shipped CONUS

Price is consistent with this non-staple tan Canali suit on eBay

Always Add 5% for PayPal. I can no longer accept personal payments. As is implied with all SF classified listings, the sale is final. Sold as is.​

Tagged a 40S, but it is clearly a 40R. (~30 BOC length)

Approximate measurements:

Shoulders from seam to seam: 18.5
Chest pit to pit: 21.5
Sleeve from seam to cuff: 24.5 (perfect length for showing cuff on most frames, but there is ~1.75 inches of material to let out)
Jacket Length from BOC: 30

Waist: 33 (with material to let out)
Rise: 11.25
Inseam: 34.5 (unfinished, unhemmed, uncuffed)
Leg opening: 8.35
