I picked up a wide wale dark green corduroy suit a few weeks ago and just got it back from the tailor (he shortened the sleeves by 3/8" and gave the pants a two inch cuff). I was so happy with it I went in search of other colors. Instead, I found two more of this one, and I thought I'd put them up for sale here.
100% cotton. 3 roll 2 button. Side vents. Notch lapel. Two patch pockets with a regular breast pocket. Nice slim fit with great pants. I plan on wearing mine as a suit and wearing each piece separately. Just perfect for fall. The maker is Confitalia, which I gather is a Naples based manufacturer. These are machine made suits that are almost certainly fused, but the shoulders aren't too strong or heavily padded. The quality is at least as good as something from a Banana Republic or J.Crew (for significantly less $$) and the fit is certainly more Italian than American. The chest is a little stiff, but it doesn't bother me as much for something like corduroy. This is not a suit you treat delicately. Also, I should add that the buttons are not great. They're not so awful that it's absolutely necessary to change them, but I put a very nice set of real horn buttons on mine (for $25 or so) and it makes a huge difference.
Size 36/46
Shoulder: 17"
Chest: 39"
Waist: 36"
Length: 29.5" from bottom of collar
Sleeve: 25"
Trousers
Waist: 33"
Rise: 9.75"
(unfinished)
Ankle: 8 3/8"
