Oh, I love the suit of that grand duke.
I picked up my waist-seam suit, or I should rather say jacket as the trousers were mis-matched, today. Apart from a small collar gap, it fit quite well, although I was a bit disappointed over how low the armholes were. I'm gonna mend the moth holes and shorten the sleeves, then I'll post some pictures of me wearing it; hopefully by the weekend. I can't be bothered to fix the collar gap at the moment.
Regarding the trousers, they were a plain navy serge while the jacket had a herringbone pattern (and another shade of navy). Luckily I have a suit with almost a perfect match of fabric that could benefit from an extra pair of trousers. Still, I'm gonna request a partial refund.

sadly not. the colours have been added by a photoshopper.
the original is worth looking at in full-size for all of the amazing detail:
