I came across 2 Hong Kong custom tailored men's suits today. Both are size 38 R although I haven't done any measurements myself. Canvassed, nice fabric, one a blue stripe, the other a grey herringbone. Both have a good bit of hand-stitching and didn't appear to be all that old. Button stance wasn't to low, lapels weren't to wide, gorge wasn't real high, but not bad. They just struck me as nice quality, well made suits that I could pick up inexpensively if anyone is interested. I would think both of them would be $100 shipped CONUS. If I don't hear from a few people I won't bother.

Could you measure the length from the bottom of the collar to the hem?

How do they fit? Vents? Buttons? Pleated/flat front? Some pictures and and measurements would be nice as well.

If they are modern-looking/not dated, which they seem to be, I think you'd have an easy time selling them... If the pants/lapels are on the slim side I will take them.

If the measurements aren't wacky, I'd be an interested buyer.

Sorry to say, someone else recognized these as very nice suits for the price and they were gone when I returned this morning.
