Glad you like em. Don't know if you noticed, but AE is having a sale on recrafting through the end of the month. If you were planning on resoling them, now would be a great time. Thanks again for the great trade.

Ok I measured it and took more pics in better light... Also listed it in B&S, but trades always considered! Measurements: Chest - 26" across, so 52" chest. Waist - 24" across, so 48" waist. Shoulder Width - 21.5" Jacket length (from bottom of collar) - 32" Shoulder length - 26" (with .5" to let out conservatively) Pants waist - 21" across (so 42" waist, with up to 3" to let out) Pants length - 29.5" - with 3" to let out (2" if cuffed)

Not "Burberrys'" with the knight on the horse logo... and this suit is very soft, not coarse... immaculate inside and out. 2-button, side vented, pleated pants (pleats are coming back!)

That second to the last from the right floral Zegna is stunning....

This w/e's haul, have to say one of the best I've had:

Ermenegildo Zegna Pants 34x29 (2" cuff with about an 1 1/2" hemmed under) 100% wool made in Italy. These look like they are brand new. (Traded)

David Wood Clothiers Dress Shirt 16.5/34 measured (it's tagged 17.5/35 bit it's small on me)

Brooks Brothers Non Iron Dress shirt 16/35 (measures true to size)

Also purchased:
-Navy with dark checks Burberry's Sport Coat from Saks (my guess would be about a 40R) looks to be in almost new condition.
http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...&postcount=174
-Dark Grey Hugo Boss (Loro Piana) Sport coat (Tagged 42L). They could be orphaned but I didn't find any pants.

These will be posted after I take them to the cleaners due to wrinkles. If there is any immediate interest I'll take pictures.

Also found a Brooks Brothers Navy suit in a 45L and a Brooks Brother button down 17.5/35 that for right now I'm keeping for myself.

The Borelli jacket is not a true 42S, but rather a labeled 40R. The jacket fits me in the chest, but is too wide in the shoulders (see pic), which led me to believe it was a 42. The sleeves and hem are clearly too short, perhaps the previous owner had it shortened?... The Allen Edmonds are a 10 and more of a burgandy color, not a 9.5 and chili. Also, there are some slight imperfections in the leather, but should be fixed with a quick polish. Otherwise the shoes are brand new. I would bet they were never worn outside of the store. JACKET IS ON HOLD


Well, pics are below. Sorry for any confusion.

just so you know that is not the famous Italian company we are all familiar with. Borrelli has two Rs.

Had some interest in the Burberry's Coat. I did find one small spot on the back shown in the last picture. It is not noticable unless you are looking for it. Measurements below:
Armpit: 21"
Shoulders: 19"
Sleeves: 25"
Length: 31.5"

What im looking for: Flannel/chambray/denim workshirts, size small work pants size 30/31 also london tan coloured plain toe bluchers, size 8.5EEE I have alot of great things, including 2 nwt made in italy polo items. paul stuart, 14.5, pink spread collar with french cuffs

ferrangamo, white with grey tiger stripe, as well as a striped texture to the gauzey cotton. This shirt would be perfect for summer, but it doesnt fit like a small like i had hoped, its a medium sized shirt

vintage Churchs monk straps, about a size 9 D, chocolate brown suede. Someone had pmed me a while ago for these and now they are for trade

they are stunning! Hilditch and key contrast spread collar, french cuffs. This is a really nice shirt. There is a very faint yellowed stain on the pocket, about the size of a quarter, only visible upon closer inspection, i would say otherwise that this shirt has been worn once. It was probably brand new when i bought it 15.5

NWT made in italy polo, spread collar casual shirt, very nice plaid, beautiful fabric, it is very luxurious, nice dark shell buttons

ties:

holiday and brown, harvie and hudson, harry rosen, hilditch and key, hermes, "doghouse" 50's vintage, aquasuctum. note, the spots on the hermes are some sort of stain. I havent attempted to clean it filson tin cloth hat, 7/ 7 1/4

NWT, made in italy, polo wimbledon shorts, size 33 light cream

 

[antirabbit]

Wow, those are amazing shoes!
9 EU size?
do you want to trade for shoes?

 

[breakfasteatre]

They are marked 8.5. They are made for a montreal store, so im assuming its 8.5US size, but they fit more like a 9US

Ill trade if you have anything clunky and wide, preferably pebbled

Shoes look great, breakfasteatre. Would have thrown the whole playbook your way had they been a bit smaller...
