Some absolutely killer stuff today. Pics don't do 'em justice.
We'll start with my favorite. This is a lovely charcoal stripe with awesome peak lapels, size 46R, from Black Label. This is slim and trim and perfect for a night out. Conservative enough for the office, too. I find this color combination very pleasing, particularly with the peaks. The stripes are subtle, but still have presence. If this were my size, I'd be wearing it now.
Everything about this suit is desirable. Double-vented coat, fully canvassed, flat-front trousers, side adjusters (no belt loops). NWT, with unhemmed trousers. Really, an incredible suit. My pics don't do it justice.
Approximate measurements:
Chest: 48
Shoulder: 19.75
Sleeves: 25
Length from bottom of collar: 30.5
Price: $465 shipped in the continental U.S.
Next up is another peaked-lapel number, only in navy. Size 44L. I wish you could see the stripes on this in person. They're a silvery white, and they shimmer in the sun. Gorgeous. This is from the Polo line, and it's one of the nicer Polo suits I've seen. (Trust me, I've seen a lot of Polo suits.) Double vents on the coat, with flat-front trousers and side adjusters rather than belt loops. Plus there's a ticket pocket!
Please excuse the wrinkles in the pic. Suit needs a good steaming. (Label says it's all wool, not some crazy wrinkly blend, lest you get the wrong idea.)
Approximate measurements:
Chest: 47
Shoulder: 18.75-19
Sleeves: 26.5
Length from bottom of collar: 33
Price: $425 shipped in the U.S.
Here's a solid navy suit from Polo. The perfect workhorse. Ideal for work, interviews, weddings, funerals, any event you can think of short of black tie. Very hard to find a solid at a good price, and I'm going to offer what I think is a very good price. This is tagged as a 46R, but that's wrong. It's really a 42-44R, depending on how slim you want it to fit. Single vent, flat-front trousers, belt loops.
Here's a closeup to show the pickstitching. The color looks artificially light here, but the suit is a plain navy.
I noticed after I got home that the trousers were hemmed, which seemed odd. I assumed someone ordered it and didn't pick it up. But then I took the measurements and understood what had happened. Ain't no 46 fitting in this:
Chest: 46
Shoulders: 19.5
Sleeves: 24.5
Length from bottom of collar: 31
Because of the missizing, I also measured the trousers. Laid flat, the waistband measures 40 inches across, taken on the top. That's outside to outside, not within the waistband. They've been hemmed to 30 inches, measuring the seam from bottom of cuff to crotch. There's 1.5 inch cuffs that could be let out.
PLEASE doublecheck the measurements. I've measured this three times already, but I'll do so again before sending this out to you. Price will be $385 shipped in the U.S.
Next we have a solid navy sportcoat from Ralph's fully canvassed signature line. Size 40S. It's the same as a couple I sold previously. Extremely sharp styling in a nice weight for fall and winter. Nicely slim, pleasantly fuzzy, handsome roped shoulders, even a ticket pocket! Here's the pic from last time around:
You know I like it if I'm willing to model it for you.
Approximate measurements:
Chest: 42
Sleeves: 24.5 (unfinished)
Length: 29
Shoulder: 18.5
I think I asked $355 last time, so I'll ask the same amount for this one.
Finally, we have a vest that I picked up because it's awesome. It's black, but it's still awesome. Maybe it's the covered buttons. It's from Ralph's RR line. I hope someone here sees the potential in it.
It's marked a "medium" but that's nonsense. Here's the measurements:
Directly under the arm holes: 40
Length from top to bottom of point: 22
Price is $75 shipped in the U.S.
That's it, except for the fine print, of which you should read every word: My hangers aren't included; insurance is optional at $2 per $100, but if you decline it, you accept all responsibility if the item arrives damaged or not at all; international shipping is available on a case-by-case basis, and at an additional fee. I'd prefer payment by Google Checkout, but I'll take PayPal if you insist, if you're willing to split the cost with me -- that would add 2 percent to your total. Please ask all questions before purchasing.
PM if interested, and thanks for looking. I've got a lot of nice shirts in smaller sizes coming up next, but I'm not sure when I'll get them photographed.
