    I'll second that "nice choices", seanmj. I actually looked closely for ties today. Had a massive collection before the fire--now I don't think I've got a really nice one that I like in the house. A few vintage Armani (which I always liked) and Zegna Zegna everywhere. I like simpler Hermes and...

    Oh yeah--I was so busy bragging about the massive Kiton score, I forgot about the one that did fit. Nice fit, Short sleeve, lightweight--perfect for my trip. Yeah, it's been a good day.

    Yeah, but nothing wrong with a dead man's clothes. My closet has Lanson Ditto's (of Norton-Ditto fame) personal wardrobe-my size, about a dozen Oxxford suits bought over 30 years. Complimentary Dobbs hats. Those old guys DO dress well sometimes. Both of today's Kitons are just my style too. 3/2...

    OK guys, bear with me. I've been thrifting for a long time and this is one for the ages for me. So, I've been on extended hiatus--haven't posted since before my house burned down last year. Lost everything and pretty much lost interest in thrifting. Well, the house is almost back and I've been...

    HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker

    So I found this in a thrifting adventure today. Fits perfectly and I love it--but I've never seen this particular Sulka label design before. No other labels present or anything, just the one label. If anybody's got any insight into this label's vintage or anything else about it I sure would be...

    Hear hear! Loads of fun, indeed. Just finished my first really large trade today. Absolutely loved it--and creampiggy, your shirts are on the way. Can't wait to get that first thumbs up in the spreadsheet. I'm in my pm's more than I'm reading and posting in the threads these days--and my closet...

    Found today. Hermes 2 X $1--One really nice. One could use retipping, but isn't so bad it can't be worn as is. Had to pick it up anyhoo. Aquascutum $3.99

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Made a quick stop at the local SA/Goodwill today--they are right next to each other. Found 3 very nice Turnbull & Asser shirts, a couple of Lorenzinis and a couple of Zegnas-too small @ 15/38 but too nice to leave. I'll probably put those up in the thrift trade or B&S threads, so let me know if...

    Thanks, Antirabbit. I know you're right. I think it's why I posted on it...needed the reinforcement lest I decide to go back. I'll be passin' on it. Worst part was--didn't notice the moth damage until after I found it the second time around. By then I knew I wanted it. Ah well, something will...

    My first post. In the tech field here in Austin, there's no penalty for golf shirts and khakis every day, but I've been looking for something else. My closet to this point has been pretty basic, composed primarily of Brooks Brothers oxfords and golf shirts with RL and Brooks Brothers for...
