Gil Gamesh, the only pitcher who ever literally tried to kill the umpire. The ex-con first baseman, John Baal, "The Babe Ruth of the Big House," who never hit a home run sober. If you've never heard of them--or of the Ruppert Mundys, the only homeless big-league ball team in American history--it's because of the Communist plot, and the capitalist scandal, that expunged the entire Patriot League from baseball memory. In this ribald, richly imagined, and wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.Binding Type: Paperback

Looks and fits well
Color: Black, Size: Large
More than I expected, frankly. It is well constructed, fits well, and looks really good. I wear it with my tux instead of a cummerbund. It works and looks better, and I never have to worry about the stupid cummerbund ending up around my knees.

Good quality but sizing is not accurate
Color: Black, Size: Medium
The vest looks really nice and the fabric feels like good quality, so no complaints there.
However, the sizing was not accurate based on the measurements provided. I ordered according to the size chart, but it didn’t fit as expected, so I had to return it.
If you’re planning to buy it, I would recommend double checking or maybe sizing up to be safe.
Overall, the product itself seems well made, but the sizing issue was disappointing.
