I just got back to 'murka after 2 months. I have like 200 pages to catch up on. The feels.

Put three or four particular members on temporary mute (blocklist), and it'll go a lot faster.

******* weird. I clicked the link, and put on my headphones, having forgotten that I also had a tab open playing Wu-Tang, and the songs mixed in a really interesting way, and the time keeping was so avant garde, and they kept not showing the rapper on the video, then I looked closer at the drummer and was like, wait a minute, he's not even hitting his snare drum. Guess you had to be there.

I am going to go against the grain here and say that $200 for a NWT staple suit by BB is a great deal. I have had a saved search for over a year and have found 0 suits in my size for double that price or less. I am a hard to fit size as well with a 36" waist and 34" inseam, if I was 4" shorter I would have 20 quality used suits. I finally broke down and purchased that exact model for $300, had it tailored for $85 and look magnificent. $300 is what you can buy the cheapest Suit Supply suit for, so $200 for the much better quality BB, is a great bargain. I saw someone say that it isn't the newest label, and that is correct but so what? Did they move to a better manufacturer with their new label or did they just change the label and fundamentally everything is still the same? I don't know, but quality wise, BB is a very good brand. People on here are insanely spoiled if they think $200 for a new staple suit is a bad deal.

Fit pic Of My latest Watch. The 1960's Seiko5 "Sportsmatic Deluxe". Cleaned up, and on a new band. I'm really happy with how it makes a Classic CM watch blend in with SW&D.

(I have since set the date and day)

Awesome looking Seiko! I have a similar one on my to-buy-someday list

Just noticed a coupon in my "MyeBay" area for $10 a purchase of $50 or more. Since many of us eThrift this will come in handy for a lot of you.

Got the same; terms say one time use and not transferable.

Ah god damnit... I just bought a pair of $190 Red Wings and didn't see this.

They usually send me a message when I get those discount codes...

Tumi x2

Anyone with experience cleaning ballistic nylon before I go to the Tumi store and buy some of their fabric refresher?
Not just spot cleaning.. as I'm looking to do entire panels because these will be for personal use.

all i can say is that there is a navy suitsupply full suit at my local thrift for i wanna say $15. i tried the jacket on last time i was there and i actually think its either a 40s or a 41s. i also think there might have been a small run on one of the legs - probably gw abuse... i would be happy to save somebody $150+ to proxy. i'd be even happier to get something back in trade. this should be easy on these threads...

yes, we're spoiled here, but you know what? i paid $7 for a linen rlpl car coat recently and i'm not going back. if i am really hard up for something than discount is fine but otherwise there are too many options. i dunno if anybody's noticed but it is a buyer's market out there.

lowball and ye shall receive.

If these aren't collectors items, they should be. 1979 Mork from Ork suspenders.

[Denton]

Does anyone know anything about this vintage Lagache sweater I bought today? So hard to find anything with my Google machine.

It's so delightfully French.
