In the field. Vasque hiking boots? Flippable?

Yes, but very dependent on condition and size.

Thx!

First up this is this friggin' awesome PRL tweed messenger bag I just found at tj maxx. My nuts got hard. Keeping this one for myself, it's large enough to hold a fairly big laptop, and has really great details. They had 3 other PRL messenger bags in different styles, none were tweed except this one.


BB Vintage Cardigan - headed to the cleaners to remove a stain before resale.




Orvis Navy Blazer




PRL made in Italy suit, mint condition. 3 button peak lapel, chocolate brown w/ stripe. The jacket is at the tailors getting a small adjustment made before selling (a button needed repaired).




Lots of ties, some good ones, too. Definitely keeping the Zegna, Hugo Boss, BB Blue Stripe, Tiffany & Co (feels really nice), and maybe that damn Koala Bear.





This brand seems to do decent on eBay (Dale made in Norway). It's a women's large.

Nice job on the Stetson croc loafers! I recently e-purchased old J&M Aristocraft lizard-skin loafers. Not e-thrifted, but e-discount, maybe?

At the same price found some NIB deadstock Hanover LB Sheppard black chukkas, just like I've been looking for! Unfortunately being untouched in the box for ~50 years means they are thirsty even after repeated treatments with ordinary conditioner and Renovateur.

Looks awesome! I have to ask though, is that your hair at the top of the picture?! If so, how long did it take you to grow it out like that??

Thanks, man. Yeah, it's my hair. Been about 1.5 years to get it to this length.

That tweed bag is bad ass! Who make ties for Tiffany!? I went to TJ Maxx yesterday hopping to find a Kiton suit or just a pair of PRL pants or something. Didn't find squat...The best stuff they had were 7 jeans...

Insert lion's mane.

Guys some help... about when is this from?

EDITED: WTF??? Why did this quote the wrong person? Was meant for Chet Baker Sings.

You're in Utah? I'm surprised you find anything beyond jorts!

I'm going from memory here but doesn't the R in the left corner mean 1964 or so to 1976?

My mistake, 1962-1976

IIRC, this is the 62 - 76 tag based on the circled trademark "R."
Also, I think it is from the latter years of that time frame because the the horizontal numbering is black instead of red.

1970 or later.

EDIT: I say 1970 specifically because, like Horse's ass mentioned, black letters came later in that time period.

I stopped by TJ maxx today. Cashmere RLPL ties, marked down BB Golden Fleece suits, awesome Polo messenger bags...

I didn't see any of that. All Chaps, Izod and PD&C.

You can tell it's older the 1980 because it has San Francisco on the tag.
