Please do not comment on "distinguished_gentleman's" [sic] auctions. He continues to threaten me because people from here are messing with his auctions. Any comment to the effect of harassment toward him will be deleted and the poster will face temporary ban.

Thanks, The Management

Awesome peak lapel jacket. I thought about putting a snipe in on it but I already have one just like it from brioni in a very similar color.

I've never worn a double-breasted suit, because I believed that they wouldn't flatter my body. I'm about 5'6" and 160 lbds. Kinda short and stocky. However, I seemed to be intrigued by this one:

The price is pretty cheap for now, and blue label has generally fit me pretty well. Any thoughts?

I don't see what you're referring to, but a size 38 coat is fitted to go over a size 38 jacket. A size 36 coat is fitted to go over a size 38 chest.

Common thought says that short&stocky guys should not wear double-breasted and should not wear jackets with horizontal patterns, but that's a very nice suit...

Not necessarily true on first account and even if it were on the second, the glen plaid is not a pronounced horizontal pattern.

Very nice suit, indeed that appears tailor made for a short, stocky guy. If the measurements fit, wear it.

Could be a steal... NWT orange zip-up cashmere sweater from Loro Piana, size 44. Very nice.


<coughs>

I have two 2 LP half-zip/mock-turtles.. one in a 50 and one in a 52 - both fit me, of course the 50 is slimmer but not significantly smaller than the 52. I like this sweater, at the price, but I'm not sure it'll be small enough.

Definitely a good buy for someone, sweater probably retailed around 700-800.

"So let's see. I buy it and then sell it to Kronik for double, hmm............."

P.S. check your PM in a minute or two, I have something you may want to add to yesterday's stuff.

The latest brand declared of "gay interest:"

http://cgi.ebay.com/brioni-suit-for-...QQcmdZViewItem

While we know that gay men will want to wear it, they may have a hard time determining if it will fit, as the auction is completely lacking in measurements (and label pictures, for that matter).
