Interest check: Boateng suit

Last year, whilst in London, I bought a beautiful Ozwald Boateng suit. Unfortunately, since then, I've had little opportunity to wear it. It's a charcoal grey with very fine purple and light grey stripes. Size 42 regular, although it's quite slim fitting. Single breasted, 2 button, side vents. plain front trousers.

It wasn't cheap, and this will be the highest price item I may sell. But if someone else is going to get more wear out of it, I may just post. Any interest?

Yeah, what are the shoulder measurements and the sleeve length? Also, what do you want for it?

Thanks -- I really hate the idea of parting with it, but I'm just not wearing suits as often anymore. And I've lost a ton of weight over the last nine months!
