No way in heck is that a "60s" suit! Seller's trying to bask in the glory of Camelot. I wouldn't date it past FDR's third inaugural.

Poor sap probably doesn't know clothes that old are worth anything.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Well, with a BIN of $300, and a starting bid of $200, I'd say he knows they're worth something!

A lovely suit!

Shame I'm not 16 years old, as it would have fitted me perfectly...............

I'd have been popping those buttons by 22.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I, sadly, shall never pop those buttons, or fill out those legs, or I might have bought this one …

it might just be the shape of the dummy or that the seller has the jacket clipped behind, but the proportions are very odd. the skirt seems excessively long compared to the sleeves.
and the gorge and breast pocket very high.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

The sleeves look to me like they've been rather inexpertly shortened. The "open" part of the cuff on this shot looks longer than on the left arm …

Looks like a loose thread on the right sleeve.
