Quote:Originally Posted by Nataku Thanks. Yeah, at this point I'm just gonna take the hit. Sucks you're going through the same thing. Wish a better alternative to eBay/Paypal would pop up! As for the turtleneck, I'm sure it still...

It's pretty much been bustsville in terms of clothing here lately, but I did find a rad couch about a week ago. Mid-century style (7 feet long!) in naugahyde and chrome. Made by Patrician (who apparently make high-end stuff for...

It's not RLPL, but it's still a pretty okay find... Vintage (I'm guessing late 70s by the Union tag) Polo Ralph Lauren sport coat in cream/brown houndstooth plaid. Some sort of wool/linen mix with ticket pocket and side vents. Sadly,...
