I've got a great David Chu suit for sale. Blue with a subtle purple stripe. Beautiful fabric that makes me think of Brioni, even though the cut is different. Side vents, notch lapel, two button. Double pleated pants with split rear waistband (Chu pants are quite nice). Half canvas. Unfinished sleeves ready for your working buttonholes (unfortunately the buttons are missing).


SOLD OUT in all sizes

please note: pictures are of the suit in 44R, which is sold.

I'm interested in the 44L. I'll know for sure when you get the measurements, I'm right in between r and l in jacket length depending on the maker.

I'm not sure what the standard addition in length is, going from a R to an L, but here were the measurements for the 44R which sold:
Jacket: Shoulder 19.75", chest 46", waist 44", length from bottom of collar 31", sleeves unfinished (buttons included)
Trousers: Waist 39", rise 12.5", inseam 36.5" unfinished, ankle 9.75"

I believe a David Chu long is 33" usually. His jackets are cut short generally.

You 44L guys are in luck. This suit is available again. One of my very good buyers decided that it just didn't work for him, so has asked me to help send it back out into the wilds of Styleforum. It's a fantastic suit, and he's a good guy, so you're buying from someone with the chorse stamp of approval, for whatever that's worth.

Measurements for the 44L are above. grimslade is right, the long measures 33" in the jacket. Get it while you can, this is a great deal on a versatile suit.

I bought one of these from Chorse. This was my first Chu suit and I am definitely impressed. I was worried that the stripe might be too loud but that is not the case, it is very subtle. This is a great deal on a very nice suit.

i am very extremely satisfied. love the cut. love the pants.

anyone need a suit for a wedding or interview? this is it, youre not going to be paying much less at macys or even mens wearhouse for a suit half the quality, believe me.

dont let seldom opportunities like this pass you up. (i should have got that few months ago when i had a chance)..


i sound so much like a shill for chorse..

$350 is what I paid. Very nice suit. Should have it back tomorrow from the tailor.
