EBAY suits

IF you decide to shop ebay, you are going to have to know not only your nominal size, but also specific measurements such as chest and shoulder(seam-to-seam), arm length (back seam to cuff), waist (drop), length (bottom of collar to hem), etc. A visit to the Ask Andy About Clothes site/membership would be helpful to you, and checking what some of the better ebay sites say about measurements would also be helpful. And there are some good ebay sites. However, questions arise as to cost of alternations, returnability, etc. You would be MUCH better off going to J.A. Banks (who has a major sale at least twice a month) to check selections and styles, get measured, and have alternations provided with the cost of your purchase. At least for the first one. Then measure away and bid away! Good luck, John

And before I forget, the critical things are to get the shoulders correctly fitted, the arms correctly fitted and the jacket length correctly fitted. If the shoulders don't fit, you are out of luck. The shoulders cannot be adjusted easily; but the waist may be taken in or let out. If the arms or length aren't correct, you may be out of luck depending on ability and room to reattach buttons, or to keep the portional position of the pockets looking good.
