looks a lot like the suit I got from TJ, which was an early 70's wash'n'wear, needs to be altered as it is a touch on the generous size. But quite a nice suit to have to use as odds.
I can't tell from the pic but most trousers are made with an inlay so they can be taken up to the waist size above H, if you like it, might be worth seeing if they have any inlay left in them?
I bought a suit with a 30 waist recently and there wasn't enough material to let them out to 32. If it was cheaper I'd probably take a chance. I'm sure somthing similar with the correct measurements will show up sooner or later.
I put this up over the weekend, although happy to end it for someone on here who wants it. In a 36 chest

Yes shoulders. I'm still rather upset by this fact, seller was rather adventurous with sizing.
Bugger....
A major bugger. Everything else I bought from them was perfect just this oversight..darn, darn, darn it !!
I got something through today which although it does fit, is fucking huge! Just measured it, and it is like 2 inches over what they stated in the chest?! I know people do pit2pit, but I think why not measure it at the widest point under the arm? I mean that is the circumference of the chest? Surely? Anyway, this is the price we pay!

Its only the second time I have had it happen. The 1st was an amazing Brooks 6ts Madras jacket that would just about fit my girlfriend, the sizing was jokesville.
This seller has some really nice Brooks Brothers Black Fleece oxford half-sleeve popovers in plain white and red/white/blue Uni stripe. I've already snagged what I wanted so go nuts. These shirts are great. Long point collar, gussets, trimmer fit, shorter and trimmer sleeves.

What is the fit like on these black fleece shirts, i'm a 38' chest, but XS seems like a bit small to me? Anyone a 38 who think the XS is ok?
An absolute bargain here for anyone looking for a 40R 3 button olive tweed

The ebay seller johnnyedward607, "mitchells all american vintage" or something along those lines, has several new old stock pairs of those hideous playboy things you all love so much, if anyone is a 6.5 or 7. Prices are dirt cheap. They are purported to be original '60s. I think there were also deadstock desert boots, red setter type work boots, and US made 505s, all in tiny and/or gigantic sizes.
I think the brand was listed as british walkers though, which would make them '80s NYC b-boy reissues.
