Hi,

I picked up this suit for $15 at thrift store. It's a Suit Supply suit Vitale Barberis Canonico fabric, and is fully canvassed. I think it costs like $1000 new, but I could be wrong. If it fits, I'm keeping it, even if i needs alterations. Otherwise, I'll put it up on eBay.

Please let me know what you think:

I think it works---spend some money on basic alterations as you see fit (maybe lengthen sleeves? plus we can't see trousers) and you've got a great deal

Disregard the “too long” comment. The length is fine and fit looks good from what I can see. Can’t see the back too well. It’s possible you may have to let the waist out a bit but take it to a tailor. Nice find!

Thanks! It's worth a trip to the tailor. I'll post pictures after I get it altered.

Couldn’t agree more with the previous statements. The sleeves need a tad more length and let out the waist just a bit and your good. What a find at that price... congrats!
