Ok then, a solid navy suit isn't so conformist when it comes to shelling out a considerable sum for a custom version. And if you can get a quality houndstooth suit on the cheap via a discount place, then indulge yourself. I think anyone who gets one of these suits custom made without considering how it fits into their wardrobe and the use they will have for it is playing sartorial Russian roulette.

Well, apparently my Houndstooth suit shipped today. I guess the PayPal claim made him decide to ship it....or he sent me a box of ****. We will see, I would like to get my suit though. MikeOriginally Posted by MBreinin
Probably it was so beautiful, he couldn't mail it out and risk post suitem depression.

And, here it is. Quick try on. This is definitely a winter weight suit. I like it, and for what I paid, I can't complain...although it took filing a PayPal dispute to get it. I figure I will get a couple wears a season out of it. But, it will be fun. I have no idea the era this came from. It is RL Polo for Saks Fifth Avenue and it has a USA Union tag inside. It is 2/3 roll and the lapels are sizable. I actually like the pants better than the jacket. Flat front and slim fitting. Anyway, fire away FNB...you get two chances to snark me on this suit today.

I don't know, but the lapels say '70s to me. I don't even know whether RL was going then, so pardon me if that's impossible.

you like those lapels.Originally Posted by sho'nuff
however nice lucky break streak on ebay. it doesnt usually end up looking good when you actually get them.
Yeah, I have had some losers too, trust me. They are in the closet and have never made an appearance. One was an expensive mistake that is bespoken, but too big for me and probably an '80s suit. I learned the magic of pinning a suit on a mannequin with that one.
This one I bought as a novelty. I bought it for the pattern, and forgave the lapels. It screams '70s to me too (it is very slim for a 42, more like a 40), and RL was certainly around in the '70s. However, I don't know if he was designing under the Polo name at that point.
Either way, it was a good score for $40.

LOL, if you slept in this bad boy you would lose 20 pounds from sweating, and likely wake up with a rash. It is a bit "picky" as my Cajun ex-wife used to say.

Agreed it'd look even better as a DB.
Looks great, if you're 100 years old.
ive really been interested in this one but the seller cannot tell if the jacket sleeve or etc was altered. pants are unhemmed though
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...id=p2759.l1259
how would i direct him over the phone on finding out how to see if it has been altered?
