This is a beautiful suit I picked up that is just a little big on me. I would say it is the basic mid to late forties style from a mens shop in St Louis. It is in great shape. I can not find a single hope or blemish on the whole thing. The only drawback is the pants are not real long. But not too bad.

The measurements are as follows: Shoulder seam to shoulder seam is 18 1/2 inches, arm pit to arm pit is 21 1/2 inches. Based on that and how it fits me I would call it a 40, maybe a 40 long. The length from the bottom of the collar in the back to the bottom hem is 31 1/2 inches. The arms from shouder seam to cuff are 26 inches, the length from arm pit to cuff is 17 inches and the length from arm pit to bottom of suit is 21 inches. The inseam is 31 1/2 inches, but there is no cuff. There is an additional 3 inches folded under. If you did an inch and a half cuff, you cuold probably get a 31 inch inseam. If you did a false cuff, you could prabably get another couple inches out of it.

The waist is 31 with another 2 inches to let out. The zipper is 11 inches and the rise from crotch to top is 15 inches. The pleats are standard. The waist is a separate waist band and the belt loops are for wide or narrow belts. It also has a watch pocket in the waistband.

The color is kind of basic grey with a blue tint in the right light.

It is not particularly unusual, but a nice mediu weight high quality gaberdine in a nice cut.

I am asking for a hundred bucks for it and can ship just about anywhere provided I can figure out how to do if.

If you would like more info, let me know.
