Trying to rebuild my warddrobe after losing about 10 sizes.

Looking for slim fitting, single breasted (two or three piece) suits. I'm a pretty easy guy to fit with most 40-42R suits: 32-33 waist and 32 inseam.

Also on the lookout for skinny ties in solid or simple designs.

L.A., where all waiters are aspiring thespians.

I will send you some photos of thin ties, Zach, in a day or two. Any particular colors?

I have a grey 60s suit but it's a very slim 38R chest. I don't suppose that'll be any good for you?

Do you like all 50s suits, or just the late 50s/early 60s suits?

Here's a late 50s skinny tie (on the left) that you might be interested in that I have in another post:

I'm asking $20 plus shipping on it...PM me

Avedwards: unfortunately not, haha

Lucky-Kat: I'd be up for suits from all throughout the 50s and 60s...just trying to stay away from anything with windowpanes/plaid/etc

I've got a great blazer probably late 50's early 60's, 3-button, brownish/green, with thin rounded lapels. It's a 42L, but the sleeves have been taken up for more or a 42R.

Still looking for suits, broaden it out a decade on each side...I'm not picky.

Zach, did you see the suit I am selling? It's probably late 40's but a very modest style.
It's listed here in classifieds. If you're interested, PM me and we'll talk.
