I've got to check the measurements against my other suits at home (don't know them offhand) and I probably wouldn't be able to buy until next week (payday) anyway but if you wouldn't mind answering -

What's the season/year?

What was the sale price you purchased it for?

Considering the extra 1.4" of material, do you think the waist could be brought in to a size 32 without being a noticeable alternation?

it came to my local OFF fifth this year, so I would guess it is pretty recent.

As to my purchase price, I have to dig through my receipts to know the exact. I paid less than 750 for sure

, but not much less.

I really don't know the answer to your last question. Maybe some members here can help you with that.

IIRC, I believe the tag markings beginning "6EH" signify spring/summer 2006.
