Reposhing this item I purchased from @kris_domich. It is a beautiful and virtually unused Ralph Lauren Purple Label Barathea wool tuxedo, which retails for $5,995; however, the sizing was extremely misrepresented by original seller and it does not fit me. While it is labeled a 40R, the length has been significantly shortened. The pants measure 27” from crotch to ankle hem; 37” from waist to ankle hem. The jacket measures 23” from shoulder to wrist, 16” from armpit to wrist. I really wish it fit me but it’s far too short and I don’t want to bother with alterations. For reference, I am 6’1”. It does look like there is plenty of fabric to have it let out still inside the hem of sleeve and pant. I tried to contest it and return to original seller but Poshmark corporate was terribly unhelpful. My loss is your gain! I have opened up the seams on pants and jacket cuffs, to see how much extra fabric there is, and there is approximately 2.5” fabric on pants (meaning they could be hemmed to approximately 29.5” inseam at longest) and 1.5” on sleeves (meaning sleeves would be hemmed to approximately 24.5” shoulder to end). Hems will need to be retailored as they are open at the moment

Hi Brian,
Any idea how much fabric there is to let out ?
I’m pretty close with the pants but pretty far in the sleeves.
Inseam 32
Out seam 39
Armpit to wrist21
Shoulder to wrist 24

@tarosaito Hi there - it feels like there is a good bit of fabric in there, I can open the seam and take a look! Will do so shortly

@tarosaito hi there - I opened up the seams on both; there’s about 2.5” of fabric on the pants to let out, and 1.5” on the sleeves!

@tarosaito outer edge of the shoulder to wrist is 25” (with fabric let out), and pit to wrist is 18” (with fabric let out). A good tailor should be able to hem everything using most of the fabric to the edge!

@bjcatalano thanks going to measure myself this weekend and I’ll get back to you.
Thank you!

@bjcatalano unfortunately this one’s way to short even if let out. Thanks for sending the measurements.

Interested but can you post up some better photos? Would like to see front buttons and unfinished hems as well. Also, can you provide the measurement of the length of the jacket? How tall was the previous owner? Thanks!

A few more questions. How old is the suit? Any idea how many times it was worn out?

@antsrom hi there! The original owner must have been a good bit shorter than me, but I don’t know his height. I never wore it, and was told that he only wore it once. It still has the tags. It looks brand new. I’ll take some more photos asap.
