Okay, I am broke right now and I need to buy some gifts for my family/friends, so I need to make some money quickly...this stuff is going CHEAP, so buy it all now! PAYPAL preferred, personal checks accepted as well.

1) SPF. Late 1940's/early 50's Grey Gabardine Suit. Approx. 38S. Great wool gabardine, patch pockets, ventless, drop loops, bold look detailing. Suspender buttons!

Measurements:
Jacket:
20" pit to pit
31" top of collar to bottom
25" sleeve seam to cuff

Pants:
34" waist let completely out x 29" (+3" sacrificing cuffs)
13" rise

Issues:
Waist has been let all the way out poorly, needs to be redone. Smudges on back of upper right sleeve, may come out, stitching on back left sleeve seam coming undone, needle and thread will fix it. All-around good suit!

OK, since this is kind of a "Brother can you spare a dime?" time for me, I will take whatever you want to give me on these items. Make me an offer!
