Title pretty much says it all. THis should go to someone cool enough to work it -- IOW an SF member.

The peak lapels look a little...bold, but if I could fit in it, I'd get it. It's an RL Polo 1B peak-lapeled SB number in a navy PS flannel, and it's a three-piece, and the vest has lapels. That is stylistically the best of all possible worlds...though I'd prefer it in a solid charcoal colorwise.

No relation to or knowledge of the seller.

Would anyone buy something from an Ebay seller with 208 negatives? I wouldn't even buy something from him for $9.99 opening bid with all those negatives.

his feedback says you eventually, months later, get your stuff. and it will have funny smells that come for free

the gorge and button position seem so low that it makes it look like the jacket is drooping. the vest is the best part of the $10 risk if no one else bids

Prepare for Super-Obsessive Satorial Queary:

How is it that three-piece suits with lapels on the vest can have peaked lapels on the jacket and notch lapels on the vest? I have seen quite a few suits like this-is there any official rule/ standard?

I'm pretty sure that's a 2B suit that's been altered to be a 1B (not sure how) or its just missing the top button and the seller decided to be "creative" in his description.

Hmmm.... I guess someone (mainly me) was blinded by it being exactly the style of suit that is #1 on my hitlist now. Maybe I'm glad about it not being my size, now! The feedback doesn't really bother me, with over 11k, but it DOES look like it had a second button, and that's stretching creative a bit, which does bother me. Oh, bother. Apparently there is no need to pine.

Huntsman

I'd bid on that if the trousers didn't have such a short inseam.
