    Vintage-style Navy Linen DB suit, 40R

    I bought this a year or so ago thinking I'd lose enough weight to get into it, but it hasn't happened yet. It's a great navy linen double-breasted suit with faux mother-of-pearl buttons. It has great vintage-styled lapels and fairly high-waisted trousers, and the overall look is one of classic Golden Era elegance. As is it works great as a casual summer suit and the jacket is great by itself as a blazer with white trousers; change the buttons out for dark ones and you'd have a great summer suit that would work for everything from fairly formal to casual summer occasions.

    Size isn't marked; I estimate it as 40R, but please see the measurements below for specifics.
    Chest: 44"
    Jacket waist: 39"
    Length from bottom of collar: 30 3/4"
    Shoulders: 18 1/2"
    Sleeves: 24" with maybe 1" to let down

    Trouser waist: 34" with 2" to let out
    Outseam: 40"
    Inseam: 29" with nothing to let down without losing cuffs
    19" cuff circumference
    1 1/4" cuff width

    $50 shipped in the continental US. Paypal only. PM me if you're interested.

    It's a dead ringer for a 1980s/early '90s Polo Ralph Lauren suit. Well done!

    If it doesn't work out for me somehow, I'll shoot you a message and move it on to you.

    I'd change the buttons for navy blue or black ones.

    Marc,
    What do you think about sporting a white fedora with this suit?

    (Bartenders, please move if necessary)
