Not exactly SF's usual taste I know, but I wondered if there would be interest in any of the above? Multiple styles, colours, sizes. The Boss suits are fused I believe, the Prada are possibly half-canvassed the Versace I'm not sure about. The Boss is the "Boss Hugo Boss" line and I think the Prada & Versace lines are similarly placed within their brand umbrellas.

Price point on all would be around $300 (+ shipping).

If you would be interested please post in this thread unless you really feel you must PM me . If the price is too high, an indication of what you think is a fair market value is would be appreciated. I need to gauge whether it would be worth moving into this market since I have a contact with stock they're looking to move. All genuine, NWT & in pristine condition.

EDIT - PLEASE NOTE MY MOST RECENT REPLY IN THREAD, REPOSTED BELOW:

Frankly, I'm not certain they are genuine and said as much to them. I pride myself on ONLY selling items I know beyond doubt are genuine items. Since I do not know every step of the chain between factory and me, I will NOT be offering them for sale myself.

I sincerely apologise for raising your hopes inappropriately.

Since I have your attention though, I would like the board's open & honest appraisal of them. What concerns me are the manufacturer's tags which appear to be absolutely identical for both the Prada Milano and Armani Collezioni suits shown to me. Now, they may just happen to be made at the same factory and so have the same style manufacturer tag, but my personal alarm bells were ringing off the hook. Your 100% honest thoughts would be appreciated:



If people think they are genuine, I can put them directly in contact with the source, but I personally want no part of this since I cannot be certain and of course I will not receive any remuneration for this. In any case the suits are actually decent and probably worth the money regardless of actual brand - the alleged Prada is definitely half-canvassed and appears well-made.

Hi. I'd be interested in seeing what you've got (with committing myself).

Cheers

I'd be interested as long as they aren't "techno fabric", or anything like that. Eu 48 as well

I might be interested if some of them come with very large drops. American suit size 46, with a 35-36" waist. I feel like fashion suits might be my best bet for large-drop suits.

They're generally either 100% wool; or 95% wool/5% polyester. Generally the wool has the high supers you'd expect from designer gear eg S160. I think there may be some more summery blends available too, not sure.

Not extreme fashion-forward; mainstream designer styling, if that makes any sense.

The drops in the couple of examples I looked at are fairly typical - 6 and 7 I think.

I would definately be interested in a Prada suit in a size 40-42 depending on actual measurements.
Thanks.
