I'm partial to the blackwatch variety.

If it were happening in the winter/fall that would be my choice. The bridesmaids are ever wearing a similar green color.

Bowties...who's got some? I have 300+ ties and not 1 bowtie. I'd like to start with 1 and see how it goes...

I know a guy.

I found 3 NWT?/NWOT (they still have the stitched on tags on the arm and are untailored) Ermenegildo Zegna Napoli Couture 15 mil 15 suits in a 40r for $200 each at a thrift shop. Unfortunately they don't fit. Do you think these are cheap enough to be worth buying to sell?

Thanks!

I'd say if they are 2 button and recent I would, prob $400/ea++

Pop!

I'd like to add something here. (For those finding their feet) Not only is @Koala-T a member who has stepped up his game 100 fold. He is not alone on this thread. some insane styling goes on with members on this thread. not only the clothes, but the lifestyles the clothes accomodate.
The melting pot of styles in here really breaks down barriers. there are no "Rules".
- because both for and against anything would put their fits where their opinion is.- and both look like a Boss.

it's only honest advice, and opinions. feel free to make a choice, and run with it.

Classic Menswear as a term, implies that clothing is timeless. and transcends periods/and or styles. Allowing you to make choices according to what you deem worthy of carrying on from the past.

Thanks a great big bundle, @Thrift Vader ! I love this community.

@SpooPoker Its crazy to see those Harley Shirts from Salina and Lawrence. If you want T shirts from small cities in Kansas, I can get you lots of them!

Also (and this is a bizarre coincidence), I was at the 1979 Special Olympics event in Soringfield (not as a participant). I grew up in Springfield and my mother was a mental health nurse working with special needs kids and she coerced me into volunteering.

if they are old, soft, and an XL, send em my way. (old I'm calling 1989 or older)

I saw that, but I've never, ever once heard of a car/designer combination being a success. Marginally, the Versace/Lamborghini one is that I would consider, but I wanted to customize mine with the scheme I wanted and the materials I wanted. Its a nice car, but I like mine blacker, meaner, and more raw.
