Here's a nice Zegna Napoli Couture 3-button suit with flat front pants. It had a inch long tear in the back of it so I sent it to Without a Trace, who f-ed it up by doing a relatively noticeable repair (2 inch square) and took a piece of the front lining as you can see in the pictures. I took it to Alice Zotta and she told me "they must have been drunk" and that she'd make it pretty much perfect for $150. She sent me down to Zegna Madison Ave., where they gave me a fabric swatch from a 15 mil mil book that was pretty close in order to fill in the lining spot. If you're shorter than a 33 inseam, you could just fill in the lining spot with some material from the pants (there is ~35" to work with) Being that I'm out a whole lot already on this suit and it doesn't even fit me that well, I figured I'd just sell it here, as I don't wear suits anymore. It's a very dark gray with blue pinstriping. Pick stitching everywhere. Worth at least $500 if it wasn't for the reweave. It's perfect otherwise. Measurements: Chest - 40 Waist - 36 Sleeve - 24 1/2 with 1" to let Shoulder - 18 1/2 Length from bottom of collar - 30 1/2 Leg Opening - 8" (16") Waist - 32 1/2" Inseam - 33" with 2" to let out. Shipping is $12. PayPal only.
