So the whole outfit is being auctioned in one lot....interesting.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Yes, it's clever. Makes the auction appeal to folks looking for an instant outfit.

But I imagine that shoes (sizing) would prove to be problematic in a package deal as unlike cloth they can't be tailored to fit.

Extremely clever. I found myself viewing every single one of his auctions just to check out the details of each piece. How's that for drawing in potential bidders!

Speaking of this seller I ended up snagging this on the CHEAP

If this is how he bundles and the end prices...hope he continues what he's doing!!!!

Did a Fedora Lounger win the belted-back suit auction?

 

[Chas]

That would be a serious score. Pure esnipe action.

Not a lounger but one of my friends. I told him about the set but couldn't afford it myself (last year at the university). I am really curious to see the whole lot.

PS: And who know...if one of the pieces doesn't fit him but me...

I asked the seller a couple questions about the Palm Beach suit. Unfortunately, it's not my size and it sounds like it might not be in great condition. Here are his replies:

Here are the approximate measurements:

TROUSERS: waist 36"; inseam 31"

JACKET: sleeve 17" (armpit to wrist), shoulder 18" (I am not sure I measured that correctly chest distance across chest in front of jacket was approx. 21" so I guess chest is 42"

There are some stains on the [Palm Beach] set, some have a rust color, I am not sure if they would or wouldn't come out.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Sounds like this Palm Beach suit is about a 39 R.

What?! That reversible ricky in mint condition went for $144?!?! Thats insane. He listed it in 1930-46, thats why. Unreal.
