Hopefully it works out for your bro, but I'd be interested if it doesn't. I'd have had to kill the cuffs to lengthen the legs a bit, but still seems like an awesome suit.


Got it today and it fits my brother perfectly. It will not even need minor alterations. I thought the legs would be a bit short, but he is longer in the body than the legs, proportionately, and so even the inseam was perfect. In fact, when he put it on it looked like he was 20 pounds slimmer! I have never seen that with a suit unless it has been altered by a great tailor who knows how to slim you down with the changes he makes. This suit could not have been better for little bro and he is quite happy. So, sorry, it will not be available, at least until he outgrows it, which should be in about 6 months or so.

My wallet is happy for your luck, my closet not so much.

Hope he appreciates it.

Low BIN for a frankly odd BNWT Bamford & Sons jacket.

Great deal if someone can fit into it.


Seriously. I'm relatively square (i.e. the chest and sleeve would work), but that shoulder measurement is ridiculous. Were the signature line designed to be particularly strong-shouldered, or is that more likely a mis-measurement?
