I bought this suit a few months back thinking it would be a good Saturday matinee kind of thing. I had the pants hemmed (inseam of 30.5") and cuffed (2") but never wore it. Tags were removed, but some of the "basting" thread--on the shoulders, breast pocket, on one of the vents--is still attached. It's a great suit, but I'm just not going to wear it much and I'd rather put the money towards something else.

Single breasted, two/three or three button (can be worn either way, though probably closer to a true three), side vents. Madison model. Pants are double reverse pleated. Price will be $399 shipped in the U.S. Add $25 for Canada or overseas.

That looks very nice; sadly two sizes too large for me.

I'd highly suggest retaking your photographs. The variance between the three (color wise) is incredible!

Just out of curiousity, which model is this Hickey suit? The Hickey suits I have tried on in 38R have all fit me like a tent.

This one's measurements seem to be on the slim side, something much more in line with RL cuts.
