I don't think a young professional (or a new professional of any age, for that matter) can beat this one, if the trouser waist size of 33 inches works for you.

Size 40 regular, conservative grey striped BB suit made in Italy-- and with a double vented jacket and unfinished sleeves, you could spend another hundred for functional sleeve buttons to increase the overall class and style of this classic suit (or less, for nice machine made). I don't think you can beat the price on this buy it now!! Not my auction, just trolling ebay today.

Add a pair of braces, like either of these bargains, and your sartorial style is set for under $300. Does it get any easier than that?

yep, seems like a great deal for a styleforum member-- looks like it is not actually NWT as I orginally thought, but might as well be as the basting stitches are still in place/ it has certainly not been worn by anyone.

Cuffed, as it would be when it is worn. (I'm sure you know, shirt sleeves are measured from the center point of the back and down the shoulder and not from the shoulder seams as are jackets)

Thanks Hoff. I figured shirts are measured differently since my jackets sleeves are like 24" or so but I didn't know how it was measured.
