Yup. I've seen this one too (though in notch lapel) in 38R and the fabric is nice but the pattern is weird. Up close it looks like a nice glenplaid but it has this shaded overchek that makes it look very odd and loud from a distance.

They were $380 when I was home last week. I can pick a few up when I get back next week if anyone's interested. There's a 40S, a 40R, and some larger sizes that I can remember.

Those suits are really, really ugly. You can return them I guess but I wouldn't tie up $400 in those things as I doubt people will like them when they see them in person.

Well it looks navy but there's nothing wrong with that - just that it's not gray. At any rate, $120 for a Canali w/side vents is fine. It looks like it needs to be pressed and will be fine so long as it fits. btw, pants have a pleat - not ff as he says in the auction.

You got me excited for a moment there. Not enough rhinestone for my tastes however. Edit: It appears there are a couple of other odd PZ pieces. I wonder who they were made for. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEWAUTH-PAL-ZILE...QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/NEWAUTH-PAL-ZILE...QQcmdZViewItem

Thanx--everything sounds like the right size, but we'll see how well the seller measured when it gets here I suppose. I think for the price, I've live with the pleated pants. It always makes me wonder how these suits get so wrinkled in the first place???

Thanx! I was going to spend a little more and get a Baroni or M.V., but I would think a Canali would be at least as good as those brands.

NWT D'Avenza. 40R. Currently at $390.

Seller says it's black but the pics look like it may be a very dark charcoal.

Seller must be on crack if he thinks it retails for $11K.

I've bid on quite a few items from that seller, but only because of the low starting bids of $0.99. Haven't actually won anything from them. They are prone to exaggeration on the retail prices, and if you wade through the feedback, also can take their time to send out the items.
