Could it be because he says the sleeve length is 23.3" with 2" to let out? Perhaps that's just the extra 2" tucked in?

The sleeves have working buttonholes so there really isn't any extra material to let out.

Ah Yes, barismenswear, quite the seller

This guy has zero integrity but that doesn't mean that this is not a good value.

This Oxxford suit is very dated, probably from the 1980s. But being an Oxxford, it could work for someone(since their styling changes very little). And since it had a low start price it might sell for a low final price.

As usual the seller has hyped/lied about his product. Most assuredly, the suit is not a super 100s fabric (since that designation didn't exist when this suit was made!). And it probably is not a single pleat pant, but a flat front pant with the classic Oxxford dart. This might be an honest mistake.

In short, if the end price is low enough, you might get a good value with this seller, but it's in spite of his hype and BS.

what's the deal with these italy-based sellers, and their huge shipping costs? I wish one of these f*ckers would just sell everything to a USA seller, so we wouldn't be overpaying so much.

I might be able to squeeze $300 for a shirt or pull XXX for a suit, but that's my limit, can't pay so much for shipping on top of that!!

Well all the shirts are OBO; put in an offer of $250 and then it'll be <$300 even with shipping.

I found the "Made by Hand" tag on this Oxxford rather amusing ...

LOL, found during a BIN search for 'Brioni Suit': http://cgi.ebay.com/DOG-AND-HIS-BRIO...QQcmdZViewItem "he's got a kick-ass ITALIAN suit, a hanging pair of testicles and title to the Brooklyn Bridge" "A Zegna tie and fleshy balls rounds out the look." "I am going through therapy to 'modify' something some idiot judge claims is wrong with me."

This is my favourite eBay auction EVER! Thank you far sharing it.

Here is a badly advertised Henry Poole tailcoat, about a size 36 or 38, possibly from the 40s or 50s... http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-SAVILE-R...QQcmdZViewItem

Here's a NWT Black Label sportcoat in the coveted 38R for $295 BIN. The pics do it no favors, but I believe I own the same coat and I like it quite a bit. Pair it with a skinny solid tie for a retro, pursuing-Goldfinger-through-the-Alps look.

Black Label tends to run slim, so I'm kinda surprised that the chest measurement is as large as it is. Might ask the seller to doublecheck.

Here's a suit that belonged to golfer Fuzzy Zoeller:

Here's the Ebay listing

I Emailed the seller and she does report that the suit has fried chicken and collard greens in the pockets
