tie width allowance?
My suit has 3.5” lapels. I’m wondering if a 3” tie would work well, especially considering I have relatively narrow shoulders (17”), or if I should get a 3.5” tie

Seller has no reviews but it has returns so eBay would cover it. Looks like it’s in great condition, why such a good price? Am I missing something

what to look out for in vintage blazers in terms of style?
for example, 2 button blazers are more "in" than 3 button blazers, etc. a lot of the blazers on ebay are vintage, which is fine, and I don't have a problem wearing something that's not 100% "in style" right now, but what are some things to keep in mind that has changed with style over the decades?
for instance, i hear that Oxxford is historically pretty conservative with their style. where does this usually manifest? thanks

Questions about this blazer from Ebay
I’m looking to get a navy blazer on Ebay. I found this one but it’s hard to see the true color because of the lighting
https://www.ebay.com/itm/404663675103?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uqasjubsqpu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=uhWliZT2R-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Firstly, would this be a good deal for $50? And secondly, are there any ways to get the retail listing/pictures of the suit to get a better idea of the color in natural lighting?

How to tell which blazers are high quality on Ebay?
I’m somewhat familiar with a lot of the good brands (like Oxxford, Brioni, Zegna, Isaia, Brooks Brothers, etc). Problem is a lot of these brands have their lower quality outlet lines. It’s a bit overwhelming looking through Ebay with all of these available brands, trying to figure out what line the piece is just based on the shape of it when not enough information is included. Any tips for spotting the good stuff on Ebay and efficiently filtering out the low quality stuff?
