If you're after a new suit for autumn, and want the very best quality at a fraction of the retail price, this is the one to go for.

I expect this suit will sell fairly swiftly, but I will post more and better photos midweek (I'm getting a mannequin delivered) if it's still available then.

I accept Paypal worldwide, or a cheque for the GBP equivalent cost from UK members (but I will wait until the cheque clears before posting). Shipping will be $50 worldwide by Royal Mail Airsure (tracking, signature needed on arrival) but only $25 for the UK via Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery.

Please, browse the photos and feel free to ask any questions.


Once you've decided that this suit is for you, please PM me.

Thank you for looking.

Nice Suit. Wrong size

 

[ibleedwhite]

stunning is the right word. man wish i was that size.

good luck with the auction.

Thank you for your positive comments.

The suit is really lovely and the kind of suit that will always be stylish. The waistcoat gives you a nice extra style option too. If they'd had my size, I would have bought it for myself.

As it is, I'm happy to be able to give first refusal on this one to SF/AAAC members before I offer it to a wider audience later on.

Some active interest, but no sale as yet, so bumping!

I purchased this exact suit in this exact size from the purple label outlet down in Orlando. I'm planning on wearing it to my wedding at the end of the month . . . I'll be taking it to Wilfred's tomorrow for alterations. I can't say enough about this suit - - the glen plaid is very subtle, almost indistinguishable from more than 2 or 3 feet away . . . very soft cashmere blend . . . would highly recommend for any 42Rs out there! You wont be disappointed. . .

Thank you for the positive comments Philo; it's appreciated. Nice choice for a wedding, too.

As it happens, the suit has just been snapped up by a discerning SF member. I may be able to get some more in stock soon, but not for a couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest.

SOLD!
