That's my waist.

As someone who wears waistcoats probably 3/5 or 4/5 days a week, there should not be a break between the waistcoat and trousers. I have a couple that are long just so I can wear jeans, and lower rise pants.

Ahh balls. Slightly too small then. Thanks for the info, man! That's a shame.

Hey all. What's the consensus definition of an e-thrift? I was shopping for a shell cordovan watch strap and read that some retail >$400. I bought a Fluco Horween strap on ebay for $38 and found the same listed on "retail" sites for $68 and $85 respectively. I probably wouldn't call this "true thrift" but where does this group draw that line?

I'm new to this thread, but it seems like people are OK so long as its bought at a very deep discount and is a particularly good find. Posted a NWT jacket I bought at an outlet, but it was such a steal I had to share.

Great find Wes. The thrift gods smiled on me a bit recently too on something I have been looking for for a very long time. I was ready to break down and buy a pair of SWIMS new, but the ****** road conditions prevented me from driving across town to the store selling them. 2 days later I find them at the thrift; 2 pairs in my size, one in the regular form and the other in the boots just I can decide which works best for me. :slayer:

It also is if you are planning to buy something. Always "list similar" if you aren't sure that you're getting a good price or not. It doesn't always work especially with clothing, but it can be a useful guide.
