3) BEAUTIFUL Three-Piece Suit in Glen Plaid. MADE IN THE USA!

SOLD

This is lovely! Cut from a classic and conservative small glen plaid in a medley of light and chestnut browns with a chicory blue stripe overcheck, this lovely three piece suit has a contemporary two button front, four button cuffs, and subtle darting. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a twin vent.

The vest features two fully functional front pockets, and an elasticated band at the back to ensure a perfect snug fit--this is still fully functional and shows no signs of age.

The trousers are uncuffed, and flat front.

This suit was Union made in the USA--and was produced for Pierre cardin, back before Cardin discovered the cash generating power of offshoring and diffusion lines. This is a great example of why you should not look to the label--or, if you do, be aware of when brands turned downwards, as this is a really lovely suit, easily comparable with the Huntingtons, above.

Although this suit is an older piece, it is in excellent condition, the only flaw being some loose stitching in the lining at one of the vents. This is lovely, and ready to go!

Asking just $110, or offer, boxed shipped and insured in CONUS.

Measurements:


Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 26 1/2

5) GRAIL! GORGEOUS Oxxford "Fawnskin" classic charcoal suit


SOLD

This is absolutely beautiful! This suit is Oxxford's "Manhattan" model, and is constructed from lovely, soft Oxxford Fawnskin cloth--so soft and with such a lovely hand and drape it might at first touch appear to be a cashmere blend. The suit is a classic and versatile charcoal grey. It is a contemporary two button front model, with daring and four button cuffs. It is fully canvassed, and half lined. It has a single centre vent. The trousers are pleated and cuffed.

This suit is in absolutely excellent condition; the sole flaw is a red cross on the interior tag to prevent return to Neiman Marcus.

Asking just $95, or lower offer, boxed, shipped, and insured.

It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a lovely 3/2 lapel. It is also subtly darted--unusual for a 3/2 jacket--and has four button cuffs. It has a single centre vent. The trousers are flat-front and uncuffed.

This suit was Union Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.

7) GRAIL! Oxxford Super Worsted Suit in Classic Grey Glen Plaid.

SOLD

This is absolutely wonderful! Fully canvassed and half-lined, this beautiful suit is cut from a wonderful, heavier Super Worsted cloth, that gives it a beautiful hand and drape--and is sure to wear like iron. The colourway is also lovely--a medley of classic charcoals and midgreys in a classic glen plaid pattern. This is a lovely, lovely suit! It features a single centre vent, and four button cuffs. The trousers feature belt loops as well as buttons for braces (suspenders); they are also cuffed. They feature a very small and neat pleat that's about 1 1/2" vertical at the first belt loop on either side, for shaping.

The tailoring is, as you'd expect from Oxxford, excellent. This is from the "Heritage" line. It is in excellent condition.

Asking just $95, or offer.

8) Southwick 3/2 sack in overchecked grey.

This is a lovely and classic 3/2 sack suit by Southwick in a lovely and unusual patterning and colourway. The base is a classic midgrey, and the suit presents as such from a distance, but on close inspection it is clear that is has a very subtle overcheck; horizontal lines of light blue, and vertical lines of red, betweenm two lines of cream thread. My pictures really do not do this suit justice!

It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a lovely lapel roll. It has a single centre vent and three button cuffs. The trousers are flat front and cuffed. It was made in the USA.

This suit is in excellent condition.

9) Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece 3/2 sack in dark navy

SOLD

It's fully canvassed and half-lined, and features a single centre vent and two button cuffs. It features pick stitching on the lapels. The trousers are flat-front and cuffed. This suit was, of course, Union Made in the USA.

This suit is slightly rumpled from storage, and so is in conservatively Very Good/Excellent condition.

Asking just $55, or offer.

Measurements:

The now defunct size 46ML, this measures:

Sleeve: 24 (+ 1 1/2)
Shoulder: 19 3/4

10) CLASSIC Brooks Brothers "346" 3/2 sack in miniature grey herringbone!

SOLD

This is beautiful! Made as part of Brooks Brothers' old-school "346" line (not to be confused with the current outlet version of "346") this is cut as a classic Ivy 3/2 sack. It's half-canvassed and half-lined, and features the traditional two button cuffs. It also has a single centre vent, and a lovely lapel roll. The trousers are flat-front and cuffed. This suit was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.

Waist: 20 1/2
Inseam: 28 (+1), with 1 1/2" cuff.








11) CLASSIC Ivy 3/2 sack by OLD SCHOOL JAB

This is lovely, and NOT to be confused with the quality of JAB's current offerings! Cut as a traditional 3/2 sack in a classic dark navy pinstripe, this lovely suit is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has a single centre vent, a lovely lapel roll, and two button cuffs. The quality of the tailoring easily rivals that of Brooks' old-style "346" line; this is by no means a recent JAB offering! The trousers are flat front and uncuffed. It was Union Made in the USA. This beautiful suit is in absolutely EXCELLENT condition; it might even be unworn.

13) H. Freeman Ivy Two Button Sack in Classic Grey

SOLD

This is that trad. rarity, a two button sack! This suit is half-canvassed and half-lined. It is cut as a sack, but has a contemporary two-button front, rather than a 3/2 closure. It has a single centre vent and two button cuffs. It's cut from a lovely mid-weight cloth in classic and versatile grey. The trousers are flat-front and cuffed.

This suit does has a small mark on the left-hand sleeve, as shown, which is faint and might come out with dry cleaning. As such, it is in in very Good condition, and hence I'm asking

14) Brooks Brothers old-school "346" 3/2 sack in charcoal grey

Another lovely classic Ivy suit from Brooks Brothers, this is a 3/2 sack from their very, very good and traditional "346" line--the old-school version, not to be confused with the current outlet line with the same designation. This lovely classic suit is in charcoal, and is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has two button cuffs, a single centre vent, and was, of course, made in the USA. The trousers are flat-front and cuffed. With the exception of a small wrinkle on the lapel, as shown, this suit is in excellent condition.

15) NWT Made in Italy Gino Valentino wool-silk suit.

SOLD

This is by no means the nicest suit you'll see here, but it is NWT, and is decent--certainly very decent at my price! It's a more fashionable three button front and is unvented, in Flusser-approved style. The fabric is 91% wool 9% silk, and is reasonable quality--it was apparently woven in Italy, where the suit was made. The trousers are flat-front and cuffed, with the pockets set on the leg, not the seam. This suit is fully lined, and features pick stitching on the lining, as shown. This is NWT, and so is in superb condition. It was made in Italy, and is a very good deal at

just $25, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Tagged confusingly 38EU/32US, this measures:


Chest: 21
Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 29 3/4

Inseam: 27 1/2 (+1) with 1 1/2 cuff.
Waist: 16 1/2






16) Double Breasted Grey Flannel Suit by Boss.

Boss gets very little love here--and nor should it, at full retail. But if you liek double breasted suits--or you'd like to expand your wardrobe to include one--then this is for you! Cut from a dark dove-grey wool flannel this lovely suit is half-canvassed and fully lined. It is unvented, in Flusser-approved style, and has jetted pockets. The lapels have pick stitching. The trousers are pleated, and have pockets off the seams. This suit is in excellent condition, and is an absolute bargain at just

$29 > 24 > 22 boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Measurements
:

Chest: 21 1/4
Sleeve: 26 1/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 3/4
Length: 30 1/2

Inseam: 32 1/2 with 1 1/4 cuff.
Waist: 19 1/4






17) STRANGELY APPEALING brown Double-Breasted suit.

This suit wouldn't normally be the sort of thing I like--but this is strangely appealing! It's a double-breasted suit with peak lapels in a mocha brown cloth. It's well cut and seems to be half-canvassed; it's fully lined. It's darted, and unvented, as Flusser approves of, and has four buttons cuffs. The trousers are pleated. It's well-made, and very strangely appealing.

It would also be the ideal suit paired with a black shirt, white tie, and a fedora for a gangster costume at Hallowe'en! Or else you could just wear it as it is. It's weird, but weirdly attractive, too.

You can enjoy the strangeness of this for just $20 > 18, or offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.

Measurements:


Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 26 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 19 1/2
Length: 32

Inseam: 31 (+1/2) with 1 1/4 cuff.
Waist: 18





18) BEAUTIFUL Southwick 3/2 sack Suit in a subtle Fall glen plaid

SOLD

This is another wonderful suit! Cut from a lovely dark grey glen plaid cloth with a lovely hand and drape, this is a classic 3/2 sack suit. It is fully canvassed and fully lined, and features a single centre vent. The trousers are flat-front. The jacket's lining is set off with contrasting yellow piping. This was made by Southwick, one of the great American clothiers, in the USA.

The jacket does have some minor shine to the elbows from wear, but this really doesn't detract from it--in fact, it adds character! because of this, though, this beauty is in Very Good condition, and hence I'm asking just $29 > 25, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Tagged a 43, this measures:


Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 23 3/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 31

Inseam: 28 1/4 (+1/2) with 1 1/2 cuff.
Waist: 19 1/2








19) Damaged Southwick pinstripe suit

This was a lovely suit, and with some repair could still be a wardrobe workhorse. It's a dark grey with pinstriping, half-canvassed, with two button cuffs and a half-lining and a single vent. But it has quite a bit of damage. The lining is torn at the hem on both sides and at the shoulder at the top, two of the cuffs buttons are missing, and the hem of the jacket has discolouration along its length, which might or might not come out with dry cleaning, as do both cuffs. Given these problems, this is close to free, being just

$15 > 13, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 22
Sleeve: 26 (+1)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 32

Inseam: 30 (+1)
Waist: 17 1/2






20) BEAUTIFUL H. Freeman 3/2 sack grey pinstripe suit.

Another beautiful suit by H. Freeman of Philadelphia! Made in the USA, this lovely 3/2 sack has a lovely lapel roll. It is cut from a classic grey cloth with cream pinstriping, with a regular interjection of a single thread of dark red to accent this. This is half-canvassed, and has a single centre vent. It features two button cuffs and is half-lined. The trousers are flay front. This suit is in absolutely excellent condition!

Asking just $45 > 40 > 38, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.
