Out of the box, I think this might be able to accommodate my thighs. 00:40 Three-Piece Suit (Jacket, Trousers, Breeks) 02:26 Waistcoat 02:50 Morning Coat Trying on the Pieces: 04:30 Try-On: Tweed Pieces 09:28 Waistcoat 11:09 Morning Coat Raphael paid £375 for this three-piece suit. It’s an unusual three-piece suit, but it is a three-piece suit. You just wear them together all the time. Shipping was £15, so a total of £390. It’s about 30% more roughly at current exchange rates, so we’re talking about $500, which is quite cool for a garment in that shape that is quite unique. 12:50 Plans for Altering the Garments Apart from the alterations I’ll do to the breeks and pants, one thing that could be cool is to change the belt a little bit. We could maybe have two buttonholes with two small football buttons or just one, and make it in a way that I could have it be a half-belted jacket if I wanted to, but also a full-belted jacket if I wear it. These are all considerations I can discuss with my alterations tailor. #unboxing #vintage #notsponsored
