Will Smith TF suit will probably take the Grand Prize

This find is certainly no slouch

I nominate Le Sacre for Necktie Find of the Year

He found 17x Hobers, Cappellis and Drakes for a whopping $13 (or about $1.30 each)

The person who donated these is definitely a SF member.

I meant to nominate that Hober haul for the 2013 Cheapies. Unfortunately it's not eligible this year, since it was found in 2013. Worth seeing again, though.

Well, at least half of the ties there are eligible. I would argue that the full set deserves consideration on the basis that the donor deferred donation of the second half.

I think he may be doing a belated cross-posting of his old finds, though, because he posted that Tom Ford tux and Billy Reid coat a while back too. A few months ago, he found some Hobers, etc., then found the others a week later. I don't think this is a third find.

EDIT: But this tie haul he posted tonight is eligible and thread worthy. Perhaps not a winner, but notable for sheer volume.

Well, this happened



20 Turnbull & Asser ties total, with a few other randos (not pictured). Left about 10 due to condition.

Yeah, unfortunately the hobers haul was at the tail end of last year.

Nominated.
Been a slow/unexciting week so far, but I did find this guy...
Loro Piana 100% Cashmere Navy Car Coat - Tagged XL - Available. I can't describe how good this feels. Has been worn a few times, but in extremely good condition. Beautiful marled cashmere, hidden breast pocket, two interior pockets, Riri zippers, detachable insulated collar. Bells and whistles out the ass! :)
