I recently came by a Paul Stuart suit on eBay. The inside pocket label just says "Paul Stuart, Westgate (Westgate is done as a logo rather than a place) "; the hanging label says "Paul Stuart, New York. Tailored in USA of imported fabric" . Except that the shoulders are a bit wide for the size, it is a fairly classic tailored-fit 3-button suit, complete with ticket pocket. It's done in a nice charcoal birdseye fabric. Does anyone on the forum have any information in this particular model of suit, such as who made it?

I believe that Westgate was marketed to the younger, slimmer, and more athletic generation. It has a significant drop in the trousers in relation to the coat. It is supposed to accomodate a "fit" young fellow with a broad chest and slim waist and hips.

Cheers.
