Saw this item on Ebay. Â Thinking of bidding. Â Is this a quality suit at a (for now) good price? Â Your feedback is worth the risk that this will jack up the bidding. By the way, any comments regarding the construction details (if you know them) would be appreciated. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....ry=3001

It looks to be one of the new models, made in the USA by Martin Greenfield. They are canvased suits. Pretty good quality. Not as nice as Hickey Freeman but better than say, Norman Hilton.

Wow.. hmm. I found a very similar Golden Fleece suit in very good shape in a nearby thrift shop. I will have to go back up there after finals are over and check it out again. Didn't fit me, I think it was a 42L.
