I personaly don't like ralph lauren (everyone's gonna hate me now lol) BUT the suit looks in a pretty good condition so it must be a good deal u've made

That's a great dogtooth pattern. Suit looks nice, lots of potential to dress it up/down in different ways

Wow, three piece too! Nice catch!

Thankfully, I'm a 40R.

my sentiments exactly. Thank goodness I'm a 40R (well, more a 41R). But still very very tempted. Even though I have too many suits now, even though I have spent too much too

This is my first three piece, and my first "casual" suit. Do you think I can break the pieces and wear them separately? And if so, how?

Sure! The jacket would work as a casual sportcoat, maybe with cords? Plus, naturally, omitting the waistcoat (althoughj I find it hard to do that

). How about the trousers alone?

I hate you.

suh-sweet!

I love it, Especially since you can use pants or jacket separately.

Is there a rear buckle adjuster on the trousers?
