Wow. Those prices mean at least two people think it's worth it. Even if those fit me perfectly, those prices would be far out of my league for, as you said, someone else's stuff. But hey, more power to em.

Is menswear back? View attachment 1890087
But seriously. What am I missing? Dropping a grand on someone else’s bespoke suits seems nuts.
I figured it out!

"At the moment, LuxeSwap is auctioning off things from the wardrobe of Baron Von Klenk Clifford, who was featured in one of Slim Aaron’s photobooks about high society. In the image, the Baron is wearing an apple green-colored sport coat with a pair of fuchsia pants and some black slip-ons. A chiffon neckerchief dangles from his neck.

LuxeSwap’s auctions include a bunch of Savile Row tailoring, including some pieces once owned by the Baron. These garments were made by the “big three” on the Golden Mile—Huntsman, Henry Poole, and Anderson & Sheppard. It should be noted that there’s a lot of debate nowadays about whether current Savile Row tailoring is as good as it was during the Golden Age of classic men’s style. Either way, these garments were likely made during the zenith of British tailoring. Remember that bespoke garments are made with more inlay than ready-to-wear, which will give you more flexibility in terms of alterations."

It was a different customer, not Baron Van Klenk. And it wasn’t B. Boyer either.

Keeping my mouth shut and my bidding finger limber
Okay, I’m traveling. What’s coming up that is in my size, spectacular, and no one else will bid on?

I must be blind, because I don't see it.

I do see the orange floral jacket already at $125, which reminds me how I don't understand what gets bid up, when, and why. Maybe the jacket made me blind and now I can't see Boyer round 2?
