Can anyone comment on the quality of Aquascutum? Would anyone be interested in a seemingly good quality Aquascutum navy sport coat? Looked rather new, but was a tad large on me. I am about a 39R/40R but shoulders/chest were a bit big. The tag said "made in Canada" but I forget what material it was. I don't have a camera currently, as I exploded my last one something fierce, so I can't show pics. If someone were to want it, I could take the 5 minute walk to the shop and pick it up for $10

As a Canadian who would like to participate in trades, could I ask if there were any customs issues on either side? Do you mark the goods as free or gift or trade? Are there duties on used clothing?
thanks
Mike

I like to ask for the item to be marked as a return, sample or used as that tends to avoid customs. Also I have yet to have a issue where a invoice or tags were not removed. However that said I have had issues with items coming from Woodbury that tacked on a couple hundred, the T&A shop in NYC that did the same and even a used amp for my car that left me totally pissed. Mostly having it marked like above helps but its also a roll of the dice. Ask or pay for a tracking number aswell and do the same on your end.

Brioni plaid jacket, measurements suggest a 36/37 R. There is a very small snag on the inside back of one of the arms, which I have pictured. An inexpensive repair should work as it is in a rather inconspicuous place. Approximate measurements are: chest 20", sleeves 22 1/2", shoulders 17", length 30 1/2". CLICK TO ENLARGE Chester Barrie for Austin Reed tan jacket. This is a beautiful jacket with an incredible amount of had work. Again, no size tags, but measurements suggest a 36/37 Short/Reg. There is a faint mark on the back of the jacket which isn't as noticeable as it appears in the picture. Approximate measurements are: chest 20", sleeves 22 1/2", shoulders 17 1/2", length 29 1/2".

The suit that I traded Anti for is a little long for me and with his blessing I am putting it back up here.

Isaia for Paul Stuart. Grey with light blue pinstripes. 3 Button dual vents. FF pants with side tabs. I shall post the measurements tomorrow and the photos that Anti passed to me.

Great suit and I could have it shortened to try and make it work but I'd rather not so I'll try for it to find a good home with a taller person then I.

I would like to find a replacement suit/pants/jacket. 42R or 34ish pants.

Hey yall, I have a great find I want to offer up here.
Its a Paul Smith blazer
Dongeal tweedish-mid blue
2 Button
Centere vent
Ticket pocket
NWOT, all pockets are still sealed and extra button pouch is inside the interior pocket.

It is a very very slim 42L, or more like a 40L in us sizing.

I am looking to trade for nice pants, either wool or cotton, 34-36 waist, like Barba, Marbitex, Inco, or something like it. Neednt be new.
I can take pics and measurements when I get back home on Tuesday night.
Please PM me with interest.

I'm a 42 S/R and this is small for me on all fronts. Orphaned Zegna for Neiman's jacket. Charcoal with a blue windowpane. Two labels: Ermenegildo Zegna AT Neiman Marcus and TINDARI. Missing all sleeve buttons, OW nice. Shoulder 18, Sleeve 21, Length 32.
Lemme know if you're interested.

Not really looking for jackets, but I'm plenty open minded for whatever. Give me a shout.
