Hello Tuscan!
I think this is the best deal around, and would like to buy this suit, if you haven´t sold it yet.
I do have a couple of questions regarding the fit.
As far as my research have shown, Partenopea appears to be somewhat inconsistent regarding the size anf fit.
When you compare it to Zegna and Corneliani, would you say that this Partenopea suit is is on the slim/trim side? I have no experience with Zegna, but I wear a size 48/drop 6 in Cornelianis model Life, and a 50/drop 8 in model Leader, if this means anything to you! So, a regular 48 and a slim 50, somewhere in between perhaps. I have compared the measurements you describe, and it is indeed an area where it is a bit hard to get the full picture. I think that a sleeve with a length of 27 inch sounds a bit long, but, as noted, it is a bit relative to the rest of the measurements. I hope this all makes sense, and that I´m not being to difficult or demanding!

Thank you for your quick reply!
My main concern is the length of the sleeves. If you wan´t to get full picture, I know it should be added with the width of the shoulder, but I think 27 inches sound rather long. How does it compare with a Corneliani Leader in 50 regular? I hope I´m not being to difficult, but from where to where do you measure the sleeve? Could you possibly provide the length in centimeters?
