Special notes: I don't have great things, BUT I'm not looking for great things (will literally trade a sport jacket for a tie if he likes it).
I'm fair and am on-line most every day. I'm not paranoid, so I will always send first (or at the same time).
My sizes (don't make fun!):
Shirt:
dress 16 1/2, 36/37 (I have long arms and insist on cuff)
casual L or XL
Suit jacket: 42 long (for most labels... I'd prefer not to trade for these unless I've had experience with the product)
Trousers: 33 or 34W/34L (I dislike pleats but will entertain them)
Things I (generally) do not like used:
Belts, shoes, underwear (obv). XD :P
What I like and how I do things:
Ties! Nothing on the sartorial totem below Brooks Brothers UNLESS it is cool/novel//vintage.
For instance, I'd rather have a vintage Abercrombie tie (yes, they exist!) than a Brioni,
IF in a situation whereat I could choose between the two. I have nothing to prove to SF -
I like what I like!
...That's not to say I wouldn't make a monetary offer on the Brioni (sheepish), but in keeping with
the spirit and purpose of this thread, we must also exchange something other than money lest
we cannot do business.
Remember: I'm very easy to please - if you want my blazer but all you have that I like is a pocket square,
we can probably make a deal (I bought this stuff at thrift... I'm not going to miss it).
I like buttons, too, esp. ones etched with a name. I have tons of these, but I do not trade them (but I will trade
for).
Items are traded as-are/-is.
I do not smoke (clothes are smoke-free).
I offer to press/dry clean the items before I send them out, however, if I do this, I must ask to be
reimbursed whether you decide you want to keep the items or not (I'll ship the paid receipt with the items).
This applies only after I send the items. If you back out after I've cleaned by your request, you needn't reimburse
me, though I reserve the right to not trade with you later (as-if).
Also, this is not a service I'll provide unless I'm asked to provide it; if you don't request me to clean the items,
it will not happen.
If I like you, I may decide to
bear you in mind next time I hit the thrift stores. Gimmie your sizes/preferences,
and I'll look for things you may like. You are
NOT obligated to buy/trade for anything I may collect in this
way, as I can always trade/sell it later (or just, you know, add it to the existing pile). XD
Again, I have to like you and the closer you are to my sizes the better.
What I have:
I'm a hoarder, so I have lots of stuff (albeit most of it is in storage)! Because I'm new at this (and because I don't expect a reply), I'll start with just some
simple items that are within my immediate reach.
Pictures/scans can and will be made. I do not have a camera, but I can borrow one for the purpose (I know they are mandatory). Just ask!
1. Dark-blue,
Hugo Boss (black label) shirt with pocket. 16 1/2, 32/33.
Made in Rumania of European material; RN# 73616
I'd say the shirt is in NM condition. It had been dry cleaned as indicated by the presence of a tag. I descried no leftover stains or damage.
The shirt has one anomalous button, though I believe it came that way as it is precisely like the others save that it has
Boss Hugo Boss etched on it.
The spare button the shirt came with is intact.
2. Vintage
Facconable seersucker shirt in blue-and-white checks with pocket and logo. XL
100% cotton; made in Malaysia; RN# 58665
This one's old... Probably from the 1990's. Though it's clearly a men's shirt, the buttons are located on the left side. The sleeves are short
on me, so this thing runs small. I'd say the shirt's in VNM condition, age considered. No stains or holes have been discovered.
3. Brown Thomas Pink shirt with blue-and-white fused stripes without pocket. Spread collar with French cuffs (requires cufflinks).
Nice buttons! Odd size 15/38 cm 100% cotton; made in Romania. I was unable to find an RN#.
4. Black Yves Saint Laurent: pour homme wool cocktail jacket. Size 44 Zignone provided the fabric. This thing is certainly attempting to
be stylish, and would look nice on someone. Flap pockets and a 'modern' slanted pocket for your square.
This jacket looks like it was bought yesterday... Which is bizarre seeing as I bought it a week ago from the Sally! ^^;
5. Gray A.P.C. jeans. These must be boys' jeans because they are small... Very, very small. Short, too! Size 36 (no length given, but I'd say comparable to adult 30). These jeans are 'slim straight'. 100% cotton; made in Macau. I could not find an RN#.
These jeans are in VG condition. I found three slight peals, but nothing distracting. Someone also pulled a loose thread from the inner tag (which cannot be seen from the outside). Their color is excellent as they've been worn perfectly!
I've heard A.P.C. has some kind of buy-back program, but I have no idea how it works or even if it's still going.
This certainly isn't the end of my mess, so just ask!
PM me as I may not remember this thread. :P
