Yes.... The gift giver was my Dad who lives in Winter Park. It came "wrapped" in the suit bag.... He didn't pay the retail price. The store was going out of business. I just want to recover the $400 he paid.

I am not familiar with this brand, any word on it?

The "brand" or name sewn inside the waistband is "Sartoria" which I think simply means "Tailor". (See my earlier thread inquiring about this suit.)

So, unfortunately, I can't give much insight as to who may have made this suit for the above-mentioned retailer. For that reason, I've especially sought to provide a number of photos (including the labels). There's 1 additional paper tag I didn't have room to post on ebay that I'd be happy to post here tomorrow.

Can you take a pic you you wearing it? I am trying to figure out how this thing will drape.

That would be Auke Hempenius:

I've never even tried it on fully. I did put the jacket on when it was 1st given to me. I guess I may be able to convince my wife to take a photo of me with the jacket on some time tomorrow. Take care.

I mean does it overlap like int he photo? Or is that just the way it is hanging? I want your run of the mill 2 button SB suit.

BTW, the suit is probably made by Ravazzolo.

Wow I tried to find info on him on the web but was unsuccessful somehow. I never visited the store myself. My Dad did. Anyway, I have an extremely NWT gaudy gold tie that my Dad also bought for me. Anyway, the tag has a photo similar to the website front page. Thanks for the info.

It's a SB suit so once you button it, it obviously won't overlap like on the hanger - nothing to do with drape. He's provided measurements so you should know whether it will fit you without getting him to try it on, which won't tell you anything more. If the measurements work and you like the pattern, it's a very nice suit so buy it.

Interesting. I think you're right. See the following thread in which Auke commented on Ravazzolo and you educated people as well! How did I not find this when I searched before?!! Thanks again.
