What a beauty ... am selling it on behalf of a good friend. If this suit fit him, there would be no sale! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160386568700

Fantastic. If only it wasn't short!

Amazing suit

I had a feeling you were involved in that sale, Marc.
GAWD that suit is amazing. I think I'm going to save the photos for reference, especially the inside shot of the jacket.

Jp

Good grief, that's a nice suit.

I want one just like it, but in my size.

 

[Mysterious Mose]

Money Back Smith. How cool is that?

 

[J.J. Gittes]

Isn't this the magical $150 suit that was found at the SM Vintage Expo?

What happened to huckel?[huh]

An inch or two smaller chest...

Quite a suit your friend had there.

Nope. It was found in Sacramento, California. (Whoops, wrong city and state. It was actually found in Tucson, Arizona.)

I'm debating whether to sell it. The chirp of crickets coming from the Lounge's "Hats" section was deafening, so...

Understandable if I had a hat like that I would hold on to it like grim death..... But if you do decide to part ways with the hat drop me a PM and let me know

[Feraud]

And worth every penny of it, IMO. Worth even more, in fact.

Usually stuff on Ebay ends with a last-minute flourish. Trust me, people will snipe each other in the last 10 seconds.
Did you notice, someone else has listed a suit similar to yours?
People do that- when they see something making money, they "ride the wave" and post like items. Hopefully this will benefit all of us and LOTS of people will list similar suits in larger sizes!

We can only hope!

Say you guys, did you see that three piece fancy back suit that was on there? It was black, with a slight broken windowpane and double breasted? It ended at $813.!!!!!

I wonder what the other one will end at!

It seems that they're envious, angst-ridden, and bitter about it :

Me? I'm delighted that extraordinary vintage men's suits --and not only the wild Rockabilly gab and Nudie's Rodeo Tailors variety-- are, at least this once, fetching prices which befit their rarity and beauty.
