FS: NWT 42R Borrelli Flannel Suit

[zalb916]

I have a NWT 42R Borrelli suit in charcoal flannel with white pinstripes. It's a very classic looking suit with tons of handwork. It's missing the sleeve buttons, so you would need to get a new set of buttons for your tailor to attach. The coat is a 3-roll-2.5 with side vents. The pants are single pleat and are very trim.

It retails at $3,500. I can sell it for $799 shipped. That's almost 80% off retail.

Coat measurements are as follows:
Shoulder: just under 19.5
Chest: 22
Length: 31
Sleeve: 26

Here is one quick picture to give you an idea for the color and fabric. If there is interest, I can take some more pictures.

A 40R in this would be pwned.

What's the true waist measurement of the pants? How much can be let out?

The waist measures to about 34 inches. I wear size 50 in Borrelli pants, which usually measure to about 34 inches. I tried on these pants, and they fit pretty much like most of my 50s in Borrelli. They are definitely cut trim, though. The opening at a 32 inch inseam is about 8.25. I've attached a picture to give you an idea of how much you could let out in the pants.

Geekiest thing ever, using "pwned" when talking about a Borrelli suit. So awesome. God bless the internet.

FWIW it looks like this slim-fitting 42R looks to measure to a "standard" 40R in many makers found in the US.

You may want to update the title of the thread to indicate as much. Most 42R gents would need to pass on this suit given the measurements.

Further, FWIW, I attach the definition of "Pwned" (borrowed from urbandictionary.com) for those out of "da know":

Unlike the other people who have posted definitions that are ridiculous, do not have substantial backing, or are simply mis-informed, I will give the complete definition of what "pwned" means.

1. The origins of "pwned" are debated but there are two possible sources:
a. A prominent quake player mis spelled "owned" and the new word "pwned" was adopted by people who thought it was "1337".
b. A warcraft map designer misspelled "owned" and thus people started using "pwned" instead.

The definitions are as follows:
In video games:
1. Completely annihilated or dominated.
2. Perfectly owned, meaning the other player did not do any damage.

What model is this suit? I know there is one model with initial "P" (forgot the full name) that fits slimmer than than other others such as Nerano.

It is a Nerano. I think that the main issue is that the pants may be from a 40R suit. There is no size tag in the pants, so I can't be definite. But that's what the measurements seem to indicate. They can be let out a little, but I would imagine it would take an athletic build.
