BNWOT Caruso Tux █ Size 40R █ Classic Peak Lapel w/ 1-Button, Unvented Jacket

Up for sale is a Raffaele Caruso for Adriano & Sons tuxedo. Brand new without tags. NEVER worn (outside of tailor fitting). Adriano & Sons went defunct a few years back. It's a shame because they had more classically-proportioned garments than the current mainline Caruso (which skews skinny fit).

Tagged a size 40R and fits true-to-size.

It has very "SF-approved" specs for a tuxedo: one-button stance, silk buttons, structured shoulders, black plain weave wool fabric, satin peak lapels, unvented jacket and medium-rise pleated pants. About as "staple" as it gets for a tuxedo.

I snapped this tux up about three years ago and brought it to the tailor immediately. I wanted it as a "back up" to my midnight blue shawl collar tuxedo. I picked it up and immediately put it in my closet, which I have a habit of turning into a "clothing museum." I am doing and closet clean and since it's redundant and hasn't been worn, it must go. I'm really torn on whether I should keep it. My loss is your gain. Don't let me get a second thought and decide to keep it. It really is a great tux.

$499 $485 shipped CONUS. I will ship to the rest of the world if you pick up the added shipping cost.

-DO use a vinyl measuring tape, which can be purchased in the shoe repair section at most pharmacies. (Or do an Amazon search for "vinyl measuring tape" and get one shipped to your door)

-DO NOT use a ruler or a retractable metal measuring tape (the kind used by carpenters). Those will give you inaccurate measurements due to their form factor.
