Hey guys,
I no longer fit into my favourite suit of all time and probably never will again, so it is with heavy heart that I etc.
I bought this NWT, I presume deadstock or an unclaimed custom job, a few years ago. The sleeves etc were finished for me. I wore it very gently, maybe eight times max. However there is a seam beginning to open in the seat. Should be an easy repair.
Beautiful, light fabric with very little give. I think has a bit of silk in it.
Side vents, beautiful almost completely unpadded shoulder, wonderful drape, high-waisted trousers with a shallow double pleat. Gorgeous details everywhere. (I had the surgeon cuffs put in myself and they're machined buttonholes, but every other buttonhole on the suit is hand-sewn. A very un-Oxxford, natural silhouette. Man I love(d) this suit.
Happy to provide more detailed measurements or whatever if required.
Jacket:
Sleeves 26"
Chest 40"
Waist 36"
BOC 31.5"
Pants:
Waist 16.5
inseam 32"
