1. Gray herringbone 2B suit by Eldridge for Harry Rothman. Very nice medium-weight (3-season) wool fabric, a great staple suit. Fully canvassed, handstitched buttonholes, nice constrution all around. Trousers are flat front, no cuffs. Only issue is a spot where the collar needs to be restitched at the gorge, but the fabric isn't torn. $50 shipped CONUS.

Chest: 45.5
Shoulders: 19
Sleeves: 25.5 + 1.5

2. Authentic handwoven Donegal tweed, woven in Donegal, Ireland for Kevin & Howlan and signed by the weaver. Lots of things are called "Donegals" but true Donegal tweeds--and handwoven ones, at that--are hard to come by. This cream and gray tweed with an orange windowpane is a beautiful jacket, it just doesn't fit me quite right. Side vents, 3 roll 2.5 lapels, ticket pocket. Fully canvassed, handsewn collar and buttonholes. Only issue is a spot where the bottom edge is a little roughed up (pictured), but it's hardly noticeable and you could have the bottom taken up 1/2" to hide it if it bothers you. $65 shipped CONUS.

Measures to about a 42L.

3. Brooks Brothers Elliott gray moleskin trousers. I love these. They're the perfect winter fabric--so soft and dense, and they keep you warm like no other. Pleated and cuffed. $25 shipped CONUS.
