For sale a NWT, unaltered RLPL suit. Made in Italy. Tagged a 42R, but the last few seasons Lauren has cut his suits tight so it would fit a 40R better (I wear 40R in most makers but a 42R in RLPL).

Suit is 100% baby camelhair in a houndstooth. Color is light gray/taupe.

3 button rolled to 2, side vented, flat front trousers.

Measurements: Jacket length from the collar seam down 30 7/8 inches, point-to-point 19 inches, chest 43-44 inches, pant waist 35-36 inches, pant leg width 9 inches near the bottom.

Included are some pics from a different listing of this suit. My suit has unfinished pants and is 42R, not 40L.

MSRP $ 3495, I'm asking $525 + $25 for shipping in the US.

Do you have a link for the 40L listing, if it's still active?

Sorry, that auction is no longer active. I checked Ebay but didn't see any auctions for the same suit at present.

What, no takers? If you're a 42 you're crazy not to get this. Free bump for an amazing deal.

Good for you Hoff. Vancouver needs more suits like this on the streets. You can alternate it with your polar fleece hacking jacket.

Layering is the sign of a sartorially-minded gentleman. My puffy North Face vest goes right over this sucker.




On a serious note, this is one of the rare suits I think will look better with black shoes.

Absolutely. A monk strap, maybe. Or a wing tip. I'd stay away from a captoe or wholecut, but maybe that's just me.

I'm not a big wing-tip fan; I don't have one in burgundy or black... but for some reason I agree, that would be an excellent choice here.
