Hi all, I'm trying to get some money back on a recent expensive mistake with suit sizing. These are both 40Rs, whereas I should have been buying 38Rs.... both suits are canvassed, retailed at around £1200, and were made in Italy. They both have a real presence - they'll make you look a million dollars.

Aquascutum double breasted suit:

This is made of a heavyweight wool. It has never been work, but I have had it adjusted by a proper tailor (Franco of Kingley Street, Soho): he added some waist supression to the jacket and took the trouser waist in, and hemmed them.

Measurements:

Jacket length 81 cm
Sleeve length 64 cm
Shoulder - shoulder 46 cm
Waist (from side seam) 44 cm

Trouser waist 105 cm (7 cm hem)
Trouser length 44 cm (7 cm hem)

Ozwald Boateng mainline suit. The trousers have been adjusted (again by Franco), with the waist taken in and the hem done. It has been worn twice only (for interviews) and is mint condition.

Measurements:

Jacket length 85cm
Sleeve length 62cm
Shoulder - shoulder 46cm
Waist (from side seam) 42cm

Trouser waist 44 cm (5cm hem)
Trouser length 109 cm (6cm hem)

Pictures here

I'd rather post to the UK but if there isn't sufficient interest will consider posting abroad. Please contact me for any further details.
