The image caught my eye and the fit of the jacket, vest, and trousers would be spot on for me at a trim 38s and 31W. But it is likely a stiff fused jacket I would not be happy wearing. Maybe it is still worth it for the trousers and vest.... oh how I want a 3pc.! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vtg-MOD-3-Piece-...3A1|240%3A1318

It looks nice in the pics but it does seem expensive for a suit that may very well be disappointing. However, I imagine that the quality is waaaaay better than today's Pierre Cardin.

Think so? I thought older fused suits were notoriously stiff.

The cut though is where it might work. I don't know maybe ask him to lower BIN to 100 shipped.

I don't know that it is necessarily fused. It is from Barney's.

I agree. Fit trumps fusing. Plus it's cool in that early 70s kinda way.
