antique (c. 1919) men's 7-piece day suit. (national cloak & suit company)

[merz]

price slashed to 500.+ shipping. only valid until this friday, when i'm effectively removing the listing. thanks.

esteem'd comrades, it has been a while. the previous attempt at selling this got buried under mounds of ..god only knows what, so here's another - complete with measurements and some additional items thrown into the lot.

given the fact that i'm not getting an awful lot of wear out of this particular number and am quite strapped for cash, i'm trying to help it find a new good home. what i'm offering for sale includes the jacket, the waistcoat, trousers, striped button-down shirt with the matching collar and the matching bow tie. silver & enamel cufflinks are also included. all are period and in remarkable condition for clothes that were around before your grandparents. the suit was deadstock when i purchased it, and although i have removed the original tags, they are included with the purchase.

i'm a size 44 fit, the suit fits me quite perfectly as such. additional measurements will most definitely be posted when i have a bit of time to take them, as will additional condition descriptions.

i'm asking for (700--> 500) shipped, which is reasonable given both the historic quality, completeness and the fact that its basically half the price of a paul harnden jacket for the real fucking thing. merry christmas.

I would also like to acknowledge and convey my thanks to DmD for lending his abilities as a photographer to this sale. all images are to his credit.

for great justice?

hey, dropped the price to 500, total..for everything.

this is about as good as its ever going to get, folks.

wow. very cool sale thread. I don't think $500 is doing justice to this beautiful suit. Keep it.

[merz]

i kind of don't want to, but need money quite desperately at the moment, so it would be of great help to me to find a new home for this suit, unless circumstances change, in which case i'll keep it. i won't go any lower than this price though, so the price breaks (all $200 worth of them) are over.
