Some recent stuff. Let's start with some ties. Everything is available unless marked otherwise.





Now onto the blazers. Hopefully my mannequin will be arriving shortly lol

Vintage BB Golden Fleece, tagged a 43R.


Double-breasted dual vented orphan Belvest, tagged a 40R.



BB Camel Hair blazer, very soft & maybe worn twice (this is spoken for).


Canali black two-button dual vented orphan tagged a 46L , has some flaws that I didn't catch in the store (always hit the bathroom BEFORE shopping so you're not in a hurry

), hopefully will sell for cheap.




Possibly my favorite blazer from the past week or two, a Kuhlman that is 100% wool, has a purple lining & awesome pick-stitching. Tagged a 46L.





Wrap it up with a RLPL 100% Linen shirt, maybe worn 5 times. This shirt was beeeautiful but way too big (this is gone as well).

How can you determine 2 wears vs 5 wears vs 100 wears? I have things I bought NWT and have worn 50 times that show zero wear.

Appearance is obviously the main determinant, especially for shirts. People sweat, and the more time's the shirt has been worn (or the heavier the sweater), the more likely it is to have some staining, albeit mild, in the underarms or the collar. Fraying or deterioration of the fabric is also a giveaway of course. I completely agree that some garments may not reflect how many times they were worn, but if something shows zero signs of wear I would wager that it is more likely that it wasn't worn much at all, instead of being worn heavily but not indicating that.

I'm 90% sure this is good. Full outfit top and bottoms. ?. @Nataku

Pants and shirt are stamped A-M. Just found your old guide and I think these are good!

. Guess I got caught up with it since I had a buyer ask me how many times I thought the shirt had been worn.
I mean we can always guess, I would probably throw a number out there is they asked as well. It seems like shoe people have the best chance at guessing. Fueco may know for sure, but with running shoes people always want mile numbers. I struggle with that for sure, but maybe there is a science to it.

Speaking of shoes.. May as well add something other than text.

Yeah, I generally throw out numbers for hiking and running shoes based on how my own shoes wear... I'm not a super-lightweight, so I feel like I'm giving a reasonable answer.

People ask, I give an honest opinion (or an honest answer if I actually know). I've never had a return for misstating wear on shoes.

More pictures of the SCs I posted earlier plus some backlog.

Sartoria Partenopeas:













Isaia and Gianluca Napoli windowpane.








RLPL, saint andrews, cashmere silk houndstooth 40R.









Quarter lined Burberry london, wool/linen/silk, 40R.





Usually pass on Lubiam, but the color and pattern was gorgeous. 3 button but rolls to the second button nicely, dual vents.








One of my favorite finds in a long time. Extremely lightweight, thought it was linen/cotton/nylon or something. Nope, 100% wool, made in Italy. Generous M.







Finally, all from the same donor. 48L, ventless. The brown is a triple patch pocket, 100% cashmere. The blue is a windowpane, not solid. The grey sc looked like an orphan but for once I was able to unite the pants. Strangely enough, the pants have no Brioni branding whatsoever.

I was so disappointed by this... Mental note, check snapbacks before you buy them.

It broke when I went to open the snapback to change the size.
