Hello Gents
In a few months' time I shall turn 40 and I am not *quite* as slim and trim as I once was. Also, since I was struck down with sudden and very acute clinical depression two years ago I've been on medication that's caused me to put on a few pounds. (Nothing drastic - I'm just under six foot and still only a shade over 14 stone - I don't want you getting the wrong idea!)
However, I do have two fantastic hand-made suits that are now just a tad too small for me and which I haven't worn for a while. Do I think I'll ever comfortably get back in them? Sadly, but honestly, no. And yet they are far too nice to be hanging around in my wardrobe.
So I'm offering them here first. Anyone can buy a blingy car or watch but the art of building a slick stable lather and handling a sharp blade is a skill that all-too-often passes unrecognised and unappreciated. Suffice to say that this is my favourite forum and I'd quite like a fellow wetshaver to get these suits.
So on to the details:
A Dunn & Co. three-button, two-piece suit in pure Harris tweed. There’s only two things in life that should be brown and hairy on the outside yet silky smooth and snug on the inside and a Harris tweed suit is one of them. Nicely fitted jacket (c. 42 chest); trousers (32 waist, 32 inside leg) have turn-ups and are lined.
A Gieves & Hawkes three-button, two-piece suit in a very subtle herringbone and check pattern. Fine light wool cloth, stylish enough for wearing around town yet with a very slight air of country gentleman. Jacket is 44 chest, trousers are 34x34. Slightly larger than the tweed one; if that fits you then this will, too - but not vice versa.
Each suit is £65 or I will do both for £100. Postage is £10.
Both suits have been dry-cleaned and are in 100% condition. I offer them with an unconditional guarantee and hope my standing on this forum is enough to ensure your confidence.
I’ll be sorry to see these go but I’d rather they were worn than simply admired by me every time I open the wardrobe door.
Photos added (sorry, crappy phone pictures but enough to give you the general idea)
Cheers
