Instead of donating my excess clothes to Goodwill this year or selling them on Ebay, I am offering them FREE to a Style Forum member who will put them to good use. I am a solid 40R but for some reason all of these items do not quite fit right. I will explain the fit for each item. In order to make this fun, I will send all of these items at my cost to the person who makes me (and fellow Style Forum Board members) laugh the hardest with a sleek, pithy answer why they would like these items. I will announce the winner next Sunday night 1/2/05. Let's have a little fun with this. Item 1: Paul Stuart Blue Chalk Stripe "Edward" model double breasted, side vents, 4 functional buttonholes on each sleeve, adjustable waist with side buttons, forward double pleat trousers, 94% wool 6% cashmere flannel, marked 41R - 35W. Sizing is correct, except sleeves have been altered real short. I wear a 33" sleeve length and the sleeves as they are are too short. Retail value $1,284.
Item 2: Paul Stuart Grey Chalk Stripe "Edward" model 2 button, single breasted, ticket pocket, side vents, 4 non-functional buttonholes on each sleeve, adjustable waist with side buttons, forward double pleat trousers, 93% wool 7% cashmere flannel, marked 41R - 35W. Sizing is correct, except sleeves have been altered real short. I wear a 33" sleeve length and the sleeves as they are are too short. Retail value $1,284.
Item 3: Alan Flusser black (midnight blue) single breasted with cross grain silk peak lapels dinner jacket, 3 functional cross grain buttonholes on each sleeve, side vents, classic Flusser adjustable side tabs on trousers, forward pleats, marked 40R, but fits more like a 39R (too tight for me in jacket). A LOT of handwork in this one. Retail value - $2,000?
Item 4: Ralph Lauren Purple Label Grey double breasted pinstripe sport coat, side vents, 4 non functional buttons on sleeves, 95% Super 120's wool and 5% cashmere fabric. Clearly marked 42R but rope shoulder fits more like a 39R. Retail value - $2,000?
Item 5: Alan Flusser grey/olive(?) with subtle blue stripe 4 button double breasted, side vents, no working sleeve buttonholes, 100% wool. Retail value - $750?
