Nice score. I sold one of those shirts for $85 not a week or two ago.

If the fabric is too fine, chances are its an orphan. If the jacket is too structured, chances are its an orphan. If the jacket is pinstriped, chances are its an orphan. The list goes on and on.
If you are not sure if its a sport coat, chances are its an orphan.

Another good way of telling is by the buttons -- buttons that closely match the color of the jacket tend to lean more towards suit, and contrasty buttons (ie gold buttons on a navy blazer) indicate sportcoat. Just another signal to use.

I've passed a pair of super old/super short nike shorts at least 3 times at a store near my office. My initial guess was tennis.

Might need to go back.

You guys remember that while "thriftening" thing? Pics to come shortly....
(It isn't as good as the Chicago crew but it's pretty good)

Naw, I'm pretty sure @drlivingston was the last recipient of the thriftening, if he gets the chance to photo all 70-80 NWT items from **REDACTED**

Its probably easier to identify a NON-Orphan than the other way around. A non-orphan (i.e. a Blazer of Sport Coat) will be Navy with Metal Buttons Or Black with metal buttons (blazers) or if its a Sport Coat, it will often be a pattern (although this gets tricky with a patterned suit). There are really lots of exceptions, but once you figure it out, you'll know instantly.

...and Zegna is pretty easy - all of their blazers/SC's from the past several years say "Jacket" near the bottom of the inside tag.
