Oxxford Navy Blue SB 2B

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

(Also note, the seller told me that the hem could be let out approximately 6 inches - I have no idea how to check for this.. I'd assume looking on the inside of the leg opening and measuring.

100 shipped - fits more like a 43 than a 44.

(I can actually return this but I figured I'd give a SFer the opportunity if they wanted it..)

Chester Barrie 100% Cashmere Sportcoat

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Nice fabric, but not my style - also fits more like a 43, to me.. or a slim 44.

65 shipped.

Any idea when that Oxxford was made? I have a similar one.

Does the Oxxford have as low a gorge as it appears in the photo, or is that just a really bad job of putting it on a mannequin?

Some, not all of that, can be attributed to a bad mannequin photo.

I'm going to be in DC next week (Friday). Any chance you'd be willing to sit on it that long? I know that's a lot to ask, so feel free to say no. I feel bad even asking it, really.

Ah, well. Just noticed that they've got a 29" inseam anyway, so it probably wouldn't have worked out.
