I paid $400 for this unworn Canterelli suit on ebay. I've returned three previous ebay suits but I think this one might work. It was described as a solid grey 2 button suit, but turned out to be a sharkskin 3 roll 2. This is my first suit, and I plan to wear it to weddings, at social receptions, while giving presentations, etc. I have about 2 months before I'll actually need to wear it. Give me a constructive roasting. Do you think it is workable, or should I send it back?

Far too tight in the seat and thighs. It doesn't look like you will be able to sit down without them ripping open.

Yeah, they are way too tight. There is about 1.5" of material to me let out in the seat and another 1-1.5" to be let out in each thigh. I'm hoping that is enough to make them fit reasonably well.
