Savile Row Suit on My eBay Store

Available on my eBay Store:  Beautiful Savile Row suit by Gieves & Hawkes of London.  Charcoal gray with chalk stripes, constructed of 100% wool in medium weight that can be worn in all but the hottest months.  Jacket is 46 Regular with 2-button front, 2 front pockets and a single center vent in back.  Suit pants are 38 waist and 28 inseam with front pleats and 1.5 inch cuffs.  Gieves & Hawkes is an internationally recognized name, producing the finest bespoke garments for over 200 years.

 Made expressly for F. R. Trippler & Co. of New York, this Savile Row suit is in excellent condition on the exterior with only a slight sign of wear at one of the pants pockets.  The interior of the suit is in very good condition – showing slight wear at two of the pockets.  A small portion of one interior seam needs stitching – a very minor repair.  The suit has no stains or patches of any kind.

For price, more specific measurements and shipping details, please visit my eBay store.  Feel free to email me with any questions.

Halloween Window Display at Angel Street – NYC

Angel Street in Greenwich Village has great holiday window displays, and they’re clearly ready for Halloween.  It is not your typical thrift shop. You’re just as likely to spot an Eames chair or some other mid-20th century piece of furniture as you are a Burberry sport coat or Brooks Brothers oxford cloth button down.  There always seems to be some surprise.  I once found a perfectly fitting gray chalk stripe Savile Row suit (Gieves & Hawkes) for $50.00.  What are the odds on that?

The New Yorker has dubbed Angel Street “a bargain hunter’s dream.”   All proceeds from sales benefit innovative programs for individuals and families affected by substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and mental illness.

Angel Street is located at 118 W. 17th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.  The annual Village Halloween Parade, one of the most festive and well-attended in the nation, will be held on October 31st  this year.  It assembles at Spring Street to the south and progresses up Seventh Avenue to W. 17th, where it ends.
