Domenico Spano Grey Suit
Double-Breasted, Tautz-esque lapels
38S (may also fit a 36S)
$499 or nearest offer


This suit is a versatile mid-grey, in the double-breasted style that is becoming increasingly popular again. It is from my own wardrobe, having been worn at most a handful of times. It is in perfect condition, with no rips, holes, stains, marks, etc. I am selling it because I simply don't get enough opportunities to wear it. The styling is redolent of the Golden Age of men's clothing, from the 30s feel to the Tautz-esque near-horizontal lapels, to the beautiful silk it is made from and to the overall cut & silhouette.

Please look through all the photos, read the style details and check the measurements below for more information. Do get in touch with any questions, and to purchase. Paypal payment only please.

Details:
  • Domenico Spano suit
  • Mid-grey silk
  • Made in USA
  • Tagged 38S, but has been tailored (see measurements below)
  • Wonderful detailing throughout (see photos)
Jacket:
  • Double-Breasted 6x2
  • Tautz-esque peak lapels
  • Ticket pocket
  • 4 sleeve buttons (non-functional, so further alteration is easy)
Trousers:
  • Zip fly
  • Double-pleats
  • Braces buttons
  • Side-adjusters
  • Turn-ups/Cuffs

Measurements:
  • Tagged "Stock 38S", but has been tailored post-purchase to fit me
  • I would suggest it would now fit a slimmer 38S, or possibly even a 36S, but you should compare the measurements below for more details.
Jacket:
  • shoulder-seam to shoulder-seam: 17.75"
  • chest circumference: 39"
  • waist circumference: 36"
  • length from base of collar: 29.5"
  • crown-cuff sleeve length: 23.75" (+1.25" to let down if needed)
Trousers:
  • waist circumference: 30" (+2.5" to let out if needed)
  • inside leg: 28.75" (can be let down if needed by approximately double the cuff height; see below for that measurement)
  • leg opening at cuff: 9.25", for circumference of 18.5"
  • turn-up/cuff height: 1.75"
  • knee opening (approx): 11" (measured across at about 9" down from top of leg)

Postage:
  • The suit will be sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery (insured & tracked) in the UK, and Royal Mail International Signed For (insured & tracked) for overseas buyers. UK postage is included in the cost, international postage is $30.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks!

Suit is still available; willing to listen to offers.

If it doesn't sell over the next week here, it'll migrate its way onto eBay. Would prefer to sell direct here instead though, of course.

Wow, it's beautiful and my size...

Holdfast- how does silk wear? I've never had a suit made of silk before, a sportsjacket that is a wool-silk-linen blend yes but not one that looks so much like worsted. Is it warm, breathe well, what would you say?
