Found a Ted Laipdus Tuxedo made in Italy, is it interesting? Worth anything?

Apparently I cant type . . . Ted Lapidus

48L-- no where near my size-- shut up-- but I picked it up anyways because it was made in Italy. It also says Paris Boutique Haute Couture.

Did I find anything interesting?

I have a ted lapidus linen suit and its a really nice cut and one of my favourites. Bought in Dubai along with some really nice Lapidus shoes. Suit and shoes look great, have worn well and really comfortable.

Don't know any more but that!

It has a tiny resale value here or on ebay but the the boutique line (what you have) is probably a very good machine made full canvas suit with some handwork.

Like a lot of French designers, he did a lot of licensed goods that cheapened his name. But the stuff I've seen with the label you show is pretty good.

Assuming no one at my church wants it, how much should I ask here/eBay?

Check the ebay current and completed listings.

Even if you get it pressed and take nice pix, you'll only get $25-$50.

You get to decide if it's worth it.

I can steam it myself. I didnt realize how badly wrinkled it was until I saw the picture. It doesnt look bad in person.

I'm happy to get $20-40 for it after eBay expenses.
