Okay, closet cull 2 of 3 full steam ahead:

Capture 4.JPG

Eidos Gray Fresco summer suit in 42L (52L EU). Decided the Eidos fit, at least in their tailored items, is just not for me. Wears very cool in hot weather obviously. Replaced this with a Canali Gray Glen Check summer suit.


Capture.JPG

Richard James very British-cut sport coat in Navy Glen Check (or is it Glen Plaid?) Anyway, smashing jacket but it's a 42R and I'm a 42L. I'd keep it if I weren't a Styleforum-dude. It's a hair too short and therefore mocks me. Very soft fabric and cool hacking pockets. Am considering a Steed commission in similar Fox Bros. Flannel to replace this.


Capture 2.JPG

Was totally on the fence about sending this one in (always sounds disingenuous but there it is...). Fabulous Oxxford in lightweight and very bold fabric. I went two seasons without wearing it so maybe someone else will get more use out of it! Labeled a 40 but will fit 40-42.


Capture 3.JPG

My only vintage suit. Very nice fabric and construction with cool lapels. Replaced by my first commission from Steed. Plenty of material to go back out larger in this one if needed.

I had the same Richard James Sport Coat but on 44r and it was one of my favorite pieces (bought from Gilt back in the day).

It’s WSL, super lightweight. Amazing cloth. Worth way more than it will sell for.

Anyone a sz 7? You should treat yourself to some Sutor Mantellassi drivers for a steal: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352691360997

Also if you're a Euro 56L, you'll thank yourself for picking up this flannel check Caruso jacket (for a fancy Toronto boutique's private line) for fall. Check out the Milanese button hole!

To buyer of Oxxford sport coat: please wear in good health! Assuming a CM enthusiast got it and I hope you get much more wear out of it than I did. It's pristine. Cheers!

Eidos suit did well even with repair on back.

Dear Buyer: I found the extra fabric I used to make the repair. Of course that was after I sent it to @SpooPoker . Department of Poor Planning. Anyway, if you want it please PM me and I will mail gratis.
