X-Post from RMHC auction thread because you can still ethrift something for me and do good at the same time.

Theres just about 11 hours left in these auctions, and don't forget that Im giving 10% of the hammer price away to the RMHC charities for the pieces that end tonight. You know you need at least a few ties, some new jackets, something for your girl, so please have a look and start bidding. Theres some great pieces for great prices there so I hope to see these numbers tick up a bit. Id love to close the night at $20,000 and have a $2,000 donation ready to send over to help the kids out.

If you win something just message me on either eBay or PM here and ill adjust your invoice to reflect the StyFoBro shipping price. Good luck guys!

The story of how the pen came into my possession is this. A few weeks ago I was walking from my parking garage to my office, there was this dude in front of me and I saw the pen drop, so I call out to the guy. He spent five minutes telling me this wasn't his pen and he hasn't seen it before and getting mad at me for claiming it was his. I said ok sir, have a good day. I get into work and call the security office of the parking garage and tell them I found this pen, they said to drop it off at there lost and found, I left them my number to call me if nobody comes to get it... one month later I have a free Monte Blanc pen.

I actually had a huge crush on Debbie Gibson all through Jr. High.


If you went to junior high in the late 80s, it was hard not to.

Spill something on a ****** tie and take it to the best cleaners you know. Tell them it's really expensive and to be careful with it, to get the stain out but be sure not to steam press it or else the tie is fucked. See how they do. They pass the test, you have your solution.

If the best cleaner you know, doesn't know a good tie when they hold it? you need a new cleaner.

there is a "last resort" method. and it has been shown to work before. - at your own peril.

@Thrift Vader Thanks, what is this last resort method you speak of? all the cleaners around here are average, i try a new one each time i clean and have yet to find satisfaction. I will try cleaners first but expect them to fail so what's the method?

This isn't necessarily true. Cleaners don't deal with ties regularly and you can go in with some thick bodied nautica and they may have no clue. All they know is what you tell them and what you tell them is what they do because if they don't do that, they don't get paid. So 2 bucks or 2 hundred, as long as they're concerned it's a ******* cashmere Hermes.

Pressing it will permanently crease the back seam down the middle of the front of your tie, totally ruining it, you can never fix this once this happens.
