Nah. Everything's cool Half Mast. That's the point of this thread. You did nothing wrong. But, that's also the down side of this thread. I know it's gotten tricky for others as well. But, overall, I think the thread probably helps more than it hurts.
It worked out in your favor WM because I had it on my radar too but it's all yours, brother!
Hahaha. I figured as much. Thanks. I guess I should let everyone know I'm prepared to bid up to $795 for that suit. So just consider that before bidding.
Well shucks guys. Now I'm going to feel obligated to win it... not only for me, but for the forum! I'll say this, if I do win it, and it for some reason doesn't work out, I'll offer it up for sale on here to keep it in the family. The fact that there is no mention of the condition is cause for some concern, and the pictures are quite crappy.
And being completely honest, in spite of me acting like a complete baby earlier, I'd really be quite happy for anyone else on here to get it. It wouldn't take me long to find my next diamond in the rough.
So I won that haspel. I was the only bidder. So thanks to those that may have been interested but held off. Now each time I wear it I can be reminded that I'm a big baby. Hopefully I can get the alterations sorted and get a little summertime use out of it. Moving on...
Look at the cut of that beaut widish lapels n all I still like it.
Oh yeah. No doubt. I'd sleep in the thing.

You'd think a resourceful seller would just prop it on a hanger and shoot it if it looks like that on the suit form...
some nice unlined repp ties
