Please excuse me while I go drool.

i've asked the seller if there are any identifying labels inside the suit.
as you probably know British belted back jackets are very very rare indeed.

How did this miss Marc's Holy Grail list???

And working leather covered cuff buttons!

 

[herringbonekid]

Marc seems to have gone AWOL again... just as one of his dearly missed FLoungers turns up too !
that dude.

 

[herringbonekid]

the seller has added no international bidders to the listing so is unlikely to answer my query about maker's labels.
if one of you US readers fancies asking the seller if the suit has any identifying labels please do !

He won't get our dirty european money then.

But wow... it's a great suit!

Yes, it's rare that something like this ever crops up these days. A rare beast indeed.
I'd have wished for more detailed photos in the listing, but then the general information
the seller is providing (measurements etc.) is rather scarce as well.

That suit would very well go with something like this:

Seller says:

There are no labels or markers, I assume this to be a custom job.

 

[Mario]

What's with the label in the cap? It says 'The Regent. Quality without extravagance'. Does that ring a bell with someone here?

agreed, for a suit of that rarity it's very badly listed. photos are perfunctory. no exact measurements. and no international bidders. does the seller not want to get a good price ?

Seller says:

thanks Scotrace.

German sellers are often a lot worse. If they want to sell a hat they'll take a photo under really bad lighting coniditions from a bad angle and with the wrong zoom. Only one photo, mind you. Text will something like: "Trendy hat. Blues Brothers. Johnny Depp. C@@l!". Done... [huh]

 

[ottawa_adam]

The seller only ships to the USA. BOO!

 

[fluteplayer07]

Well, at least it keeps it out of the hands of the foreign reproduction-ists who will dismantle and discard the original...

 

[Mario]

$1.248...!!

 

[herringbonekid]

... or £790.

i'm sure the seller is very pleased with that price. still, i think it could have gone higher had he allowed the rest of the world in on the bidding.

 

[Mario]

Yes. I really don't understand why some sellers make that decision.

 

[herringbonekid]

anyone here buy this suit ? ...Marc, you've been very quiet on this thread.
