Pics coming up, wanted to post this as it is getting late and wouldn;t want anyone on the east coast to miss it.
Good news: Super 100's Belvest, 3to2.5, side vents, great fabric/pattern, basted sleeves, soft shoulder, unhemmed dual pleat pants.
Bad News: two small holes (3mm and 5mm) under top right lapel (above the notch but below the collar). A wee bit of the 5mm hole might stick out when you wear the jacket. There is extra thread with the suit that can be used to reweave or, due to where the holes are and the fact that they are so small, a tiny patch from the extra pant fabric can be used and no one would notice.
For less than $300 all in , you can have a real nice Belvest, less if you are handy with a needle and thread. If there is interest, I'll post pics. Pants are perfect and they alone would fetch 125-150
Fabric is a fall/winter/spring weight. $210 shipped USA
Me wearing the jacket with the holes under the lapels not visible.
