SoGent wins with a very generous bid of $600. Thank you very much for your donation. btw, I would say that the best place to get a belt to match a chestnut color would be Equus. Check out their affiliate thread. Now, please stand by for a PM with further instructions!
With this bid, we are up to $8600 after tonight's auction. Let's make our goal of $10K, everyone. I'm counting on all of you to bid on something, make something work. The retail value of all things that are left in the auction are, conservatively, $3000, so that there is no excuse for us to not make $10K by New Year's Eve.
Tomorrow, something a little different from the ordinary - we are going to do an auction for 2 shirts from Self Edge (
www.selfedge.com), which specializes in Japanese reproductions of classic American clothing.
On Thursday, we will be auctioning off a $500 gift certificate from
www.ehaberdasher.com, good for anything on Ben's site, and after that, an auction for a suit from Rick's Kansas City, with a value of $495.
On Friday, we will have an auction for some real country gear - a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots (the originals) and a Filson vest, with an overall retail of approximately $475.
We will take a break for Christmas, and on the 26th, we will hold a special auction for a "Styleforum friends and family" package - with a tie from NewYorkIslander (previously Newyorkranger)'s new line of handcrafted ties, which will retail at $125, a pair of Epaulet pants (retail up to $235), a set of Putthison pocketsquares, and a shirt, (though I don't know yet from where- maybe it will be a shirt I get for Christmas.)
On the 27th, we will auction off a MTM suit from a new affiliate who will be revealed shortly. He has told me that there will be no restrictions on fabrics, and mentioned that Loro Piana cashmere might be something suitably luxurious.
Thanks for everyone for their generosity. And please keep on coming back.
Cheers,
Fok.
P.S. Whoops. I forgot to add that we will also be auctioning off a pair of Paulrose jeans as part of our package. A good way for an MC guy to get into jeans. As a donation to a good cause.
