Lovely, but sadly too big for me.

Just my size - but not my price.

SteveAS · Aug 8, 2014

Wow, that's a nice one . . . condition and cut appear to be superb! Just a bit too big and more than a bit too expensive for me. But it seems like a fair price.

NRA tagged. Narrows that dating down.

Slightly off topic - but always an issue here:
Dinerman, as a Bartender can you enlighten us why one cannot edit comments in Vintage finds and deals section?

I didn't even check the price once I realised that it was too big for me, but yes I agree that it's quite pricey. Still lovely, though.

Oh dear. This question has been strenuously ignored whenever somebody cared - or dared - to asked it.

See? I overlooked a little typo in my last message and now that I clicked that fateful button it has been sentenced to stay like that till eternity comes...

And so shall it be!

Guttersnipe · Aug 9, 2014

Hmm...just my size. What do you gents think of that discoloration, can it be lifted or not? I've very tempted, but at that price I expect immaculate condition.

herringbonekid · Aug 10, 2014

discolouration and me don't get on, unless it's on a worn workwear garment.

Agreed. It may sound snobbish or jaded, but I've been collecting vintage long enough that I usually won't "get out of bed" for items with condition issues. The combination of that discoloration with the high starting bid somewhat annoys me since the seller is essentially asking the buyer to take the time/effort/risk of cleaning the suit . . . being a grownup now, with a real job, and no longer a starving student, I'd gladly pay $500 + for this suit, sans stains that is.

Well, that'd let me sleep till I'm dead.

I was looking at the mark on the leg. I wondered if it was discolouration from where the trousers had been left on a hanger.

Bloody lovely though.

Papperskatt · Aug 19, 2014

Similar suit, although without the backbelt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301282728873

Appear to be about the same size, but with a much lower starting bid.

Fastuni · Aug 19, 2014

My size... but again some flaws. At least they are reflected in the low starting price.

Guttersnipe · Aug 19, 2014

Although, someone was willing to pay the $500 starting bid for the PB belt back. For my money, that was too much of a gamble on the stains lifting. Had the seller bothered to clean that suit, it certainly would have sold for more (I can state that factually

).

Fastuni · Aug 31, 2014

So the last one ended for 202 USD. Very good price.

Fastuni · Aug 31, 2014

EDIT:... for the buyer.
