^^Awesome haul. thread on FIRE

Grazie! I was so excited today - went to a new (to me) church thrift and had 5 Zegna XXX Couture suits and 3 Canali suits in my cart...until I did my inspections and all of them had the trouser seats shredded beyond reasonable repair. Walked out hand-in-hand with Zip from that joint.

Quoting @TheNeedMachine :



>> the biggest scarf I have ever seen - 54" x 72". <<


at a certain size, a scarf matriculates into a shawl. for marketing purposes i'd think about using both terms especially given it's mohair.

My attempt at humor - that big it becomes a blanket / throw. Can't find the same colorway, but the PRL 100% mohair throw is typically one large.

IMO, looks to be a throw blanket which makes it even cooler! Oops, not a double post just too much beer.

No brags, just blues today. Drove a hundred miles, nothing but a Billy Reid shirt to show for it :/ A few almosts, but everything was damaged or not quite right.

Vacilated on this Bric's duffle, then went back two minutes later to grab it but of course someone had scooped it up. (Which is fine, not that cool anyway.)

As an aside, I have a Bric's bag with this same leather - sort of a flat (not shiny) football leather, which shows marks like crazy - as in - lightly drag your fingernail across it and it leaves a very visible mark. How to clean / remove marks?

Not sure but I think it's actually "PVC-coated cotton" not leather.
