Saw this on ebay for really cheap.

I like the slim lapels and found the pattern and color really unique and interesting.

Any thoughts?

I don't think the tire models would approve. Just sayin.

You seem to trend toward the Mod, jazzy style so I think this would fit with you perfectly.

I'll have to wait until it comes in the mail to check it out.

I wonder what color trousers I can wear with this piece, I haven't really thought about it.

The usual suspects, I'd say: grey flannel, beige cavalry twill/chinos, cords in various colours, denim.

Do you want something that looks distinctly vintage? If not, I'd pass. Also, the shoulders look malformed.

I hope you don't get outbid by the Mad Men costume director.
