Braces T&A

I know that I am getting old now. I saw where you put "braces T&A" and the only thing that went through my head was, "Those don't look like Turnbull & Asser."

That was my thought as well, then "how can I incorporate these into my business wardrobe???"

I guess I should have clarified that it's the original T&A. I thought someone might think they were Turnbull & Asser. Not sure where we are at on the nip count for the new thread.

If you include the photo @ReubenR posted of his dog, pretty high.

You mean these fine (thrifted) lady nips?

Anyone else try Ledbury shirts? I picked up 3 from eBay in my size and they were insanely slim. I wear BB slim fit shirts and Borelli normally and bought these as summer casual shirts because of their fantastic colors. Could barely button them... Sad that I have to resell them. This one was supposed to be for my Fourth of July Garden Party

I've known one of the founders of Ledbury for a while and have come to know the company pretty well. For future ebay reference, the white colored label is their slim and the darker label is their regular fit (unless that has changed). I am 6'0 220ish on a good day and their regular fit shirts fit me fine.

Trafalgar Croc?

Don't think so. I have seen very convincing Trafalgar embossing and they look more real than that to me. Could be wrong, maybe we need @SpooPoker

Florian..crazy pickup in 46 as well!

Yep but I guess it's 56R so it won't fit

don't give a fuckkkk thoooooooooooo

Good to know.

Here's to the importance of hitting the racks in a certain order. Tuesday, I walk into a store and see a guy with a cart full of shirts, figured I must have missed the entire store if this guy is already at shirts. Knowing it pays to go behind even the most professional of flipper, and I'm not one to give up anyways, I decided to do the usual.

Found the suit coat, married up with the pants later

This was just hanging out on the end of the sweater rack in plain view while on my way to the pants

Bono, while searching for the orphaned jacket

and some more FF EZ pants

From the pants, over to the jeans

No shoes or ties, so hitting the sweater rack, always searching for Loro or Cuci.
Local and new, have never seen before.

Unique enough to kop

For some reason, this was tee in the sweater rack.

Finally hit the shirts, because, you never know.

How the hell did you miss that one? Couldn't read the tag? Prada.
I think at one point he started to move around the store, he looked a little panicked, but most of this I found while he was still at shirts.
It also pays to be really fast, especially when you see competition.
On vacation now, picked up Arc'teyrx and Ibex in the Mt. Vernon WA GW. Nice store, seemed to hold some potential. Funny regional pricing, Pendleton and North face were GOLD here in the foothills of the mountains (and there was a lot of it). Don't know why Ibex and ArcT weren't.
Vacation fit (not the ArcT I found yesterday, those were pants, found this a few months ago.)

When you say you thought you missed the whole store since he was already at the shirts, is there some universally accepted order of thrifting? I have an order, I start with shoes. But, does everyone else follow an order? Whatever it is, I want to do it in reverse!

Some very minor adjustments need to be made but I'm extremely happy.

Thanks Wes!
