Interesting. Perhaps it was made for Ringo Starr, but looking at the measurements it's hard to imagine it fitting Ringo Starr.

 

[william]

Yeah. The associations between the suit and Ringo are a little too weak to ask $10K.

This has been covered a few times.

Ehaberdasher is a quality seller, so I am certain they aren't trying to put one over on people.

It's definitely not from 1963!

Check out this previous discussion

It seems that Ben's "proof" that this is a genuine 1963 Ringo Starr Tux is that he has an appraisal from the "Antique Roadshow Guy!".

I think that the Ebay Tux ad draws a lot of visitors and that is the ads value.

Of course if someone is foolish enough to pay $10,000 for it, the seller will happily accept.

So if I write "John Lennon" on one of my jacket's tags it'll be worth $15,000 ?

If Ringo is worth 10K then Lennon must be worth at least 50K.

Did they have laserprinters to print that label back then ?

I'm too lazy to search, but haven't we done this before? Or was that some other piece of Ringo-wear?

Either way it is a very nice looking tuxedo. A very stylish seperation from your standard black. If i was shopping for a second tuxedo and saw this on the racks at neimans it would be a must buy. (for 2995 and not 10K of course)
