No love for Hickey Freeman? This looks like it was worn twice.. Drop to $60 shipped CONUS or it goes on eBay or maybe to a big friend

You may want to take a look at those measurements again. They're quite strange, especially for HF tagged at 42. Normally they're pretty roomy, so I would guess the chest is probably closer to 46 than 42.5.

Yes it is odd. I've laid the jacket flat and measured from armpit to armpit and multiplied by 2 giving me the 42.5".



Here I've wrapped the tape around the jacket. Some wrinkling of the tape gives me 43.5"

I'm not confident in saying so I've posted pictures. Clearly the pants have had the waist taken in and theres 1.5" material on either side of the seam for a total of 3". I don't know how that equates in actual inches to let out. The cuffs are turned under 1". Again I don't know how much one can squeeze out of that, probably not much because you don't want stitches showing up. If you took the cuffs out you would have about 2.75" additional and the 1" above.
