That Bubba Blackwell photo is awesome!
And I know Spider Webb!! He's in a book I published.

I saw a Yang Li today but did not kop. Should I have? Can go back tomorrow.

Also -- when posting from my phone, what code do I wrap around my pics to sperler them? Got a bunch and don't want to photowall.

This will do the trick. Don't use any spaces after the brackets - I had to place them so you can see the format:

From today - the NWT stuff was mostly around 90% off.

Crap - nevermind - they're all gonna be sideways or upside down and will take forever to submit one at a time. So here's one.

Had the day off of work but decided to get up early and take a long ride east of Dallas. A few nice things but nothing special until the last stop when these happened.

Big shout out to SPOO for the quick heads up on what they are. Maroon and black Lucchese Stingray handmades. Can you believe that after 18 months these are the first cowboy boots i have thrifted here in Dallas. Heading to you SPOO.

Tbh I'm not sure if it was a good pickup. I remembered I saw a article about him being a Chinese designer, so I kopped. Retail on the jacket I found is 1k+ tho

fake dior shoes
was so excited to find something that i bought without checking. they fit so i might keep for beaters.


also Yang Li is very cool. not sure on resale value but he does some fantastic stuff and it's pretty rare.

Went out today for a quick run to two spots that are a bit further from me, so I don't get to them as often...
Found these:
Weirdly ugly Armani tie (idk why)
Pink slim fit 16.5
Toye, Kenning, & Spencer (Cornelia James Neckwear) seems interesting


And, the better find: a Corby 7700 pants press, in perfect shape, for $20. Sweet!! I honestly don't know if it's really brag worthy, or how hard they are to come by, but I will definitely get way more value from it than that!

I totally almost grabbed one of these about 2 weeks ago. Marked at about $20.

HAhahaha im trying to imagine the world when that was invented and it was a better place.
Can it be all so simple?

 

[TexJake]

Haha, Well, I don't know if it really changes the world that much, but I do hope it will save me a little time and frustration keeping my slacks looking sharp between trips to the cleaners.

Anyone down with Nashville kind enough to tip me off on 3 or 4 must-hit shops? I'm gongogonna be running thru soon but not all day. Feel free to PM if you don't want to share publicly.

Local shop had a Yang Li piece, marked way down, decided to pass on it, wasnt super impressed with quality to price ratio. I think the jacket they had retailed at like 1.6, and they had it marked down to like 150 or so?

 

[Koala-T]

Just wanted to shout out @takai One more time. I asked a coupke of you watch heads about getting an entry level piece. He sends me this for an awesome price:

And throws in this just because he's an awesome guy.

Couldn't be happer. Thanks, man!

Looking good man, I dig the vintage watches more than modern seiko's or Timex watches.
I should picture some of mine. I sold My Hermes watch On here years ago, I broke the damn strap In a fight, and it made me mad every time I saw the orange box, since then I don't wear watches much I noticed, before Id wear one everyday.
