Can anyone help ID this Hickey Freeman? I was way off my beaten path and found this beauty... It's my size, just curious to learn more.

I'd like to extend a personal thanks to James S. A_____, who happens to be my exact shirt size (and I mean exact) and who also donated one dozen very nice looking and well maintained Ascot Chang shirts to a local thift. I am now set for shirts for a while. Mr. A_____, this post is dedicated to you.

p.s. Next time you donate clothing, you might want to remove any cleaners tags that include you full name. I'm tempted to call you directly (found you online!) to thank you and see what other clothes you don't want.



Aren't these licensed? Really? They do well on eBay?

It got me 8 recent Isaia suits, 5 shirts and a small number of Isaia ties for $50 that were headed for the Salvation Army, so.....

SW&D heads, please school me;

All available, Edwins are 34/30ish, Nudies are ladies 28/32, PRL wool tie & Harrods silk lined wool/cashmere scarf.

Edwins are big money!


Sorry buddy, these are non selvedge and are not really good quality IMO. I saw these at a local Marshal's, wasn't sure I should cop. Called up our local denim head, Troika to verify. He gave the thumbs down. Also, the edges are threaded and not selvedge bounded. I would return them unless you got the super cheap.


**** yeah!

HF customized line. Nothing really special IMO. I got a bunch of those. Decent quality.

It says "perfection" in Chinese...Looks ugly from here.

Nooooo! Kelly Green and with the hood, to boot! :fu:
Go back and grab ASAP!! Especially in sizes M-XL.


It's a medium and fit's me perfectly, but I don't think I'll get any use out of it. I'll offer it up here if I end up getting it Monday.

Edit: I'm not at all informed vintage outerwear, so that was the reason I left it. They have a no returns policy, so I didn't want to get stuck with it if it ended up being a dud. Lesson learned. Thanks guys.

Ended up putting some meh things back on the racks as the lines were INSANE today. Waiting 30 min to pick up some Orvis, Paul Smith, and Bill's? No thanks.

Did pick up one bonkers item, however. 44 R 3/2 roll PRL Made in Italy tweedy with throat latch and hacking pocket. Said pocket and one other front pocket are still basted shut. Doesn't fit me, so very available.

Picked through lots of stuff today but no great finds. The stores were so crowded here it was insane.
I did manage to get one oddity. Its a pair of Drybak hunting pants from the 50's. What drew me to them was the label touting the "NEW" Talon 42 zipper. 100% Cotton with a vinyl covering parts of them.
Also got the goofy Levi Panatella's. I fall for anything pre-90's and Levis. Luckily I found 4 or 5 pairs of Levi's 501 from the 1980's and a NOS pair of Womens Levi Cords from 1978
