thanx, but like youngamerican said its very rare to find dior homme in thrift stores, the label is silver but the stitching is the giveaway, real shirts are stiched neatly from 4 corners
plus the inside tag is always silver with a refrence number,also they never produced a shirt with all bees, i see they really tried to capitalize on that logo aspect, i remember the golden days when i got dior denim for 65 a pop i made a killing on those!
anyway all dior homme post hedi slimane is pure shite, kva really wet the bed on dior homme


:brick: can't believe i missed out on a dior shirt in a cosignment store LKhbgabibeotoabobOlakjgbj

I am curious about this as well. Not as much about the Signature, because I don't think it sells all that well on the Bay, but about the Couture line. I passed on a lot of Donna Karan Couture SC's and Suits the other day. They were pretty well made and seem to have some handwork, but I wasn't sure if I would have an outlet for them. I am also under the understanding that Martin Greenfield made the line in the U.S. What do you guys think?

Some of the stuff was made by Saint Andrews (who makes a lot of RLPL stuff). This is what your looking for



PS - When you find one in a 36S just remember me

Yeah, I saw that and thought it was insanity. Not to derail this threads intent, but was that from a Signature suit or the Couture line, because the Couture line stuff I came across had no makers tags. And no doubt, 36S is all yours.

Again, no designer tag, just this thick linen shirt jacket


That's a US military issue jacket. Not linen. It's rip-stop (the squares) cotton. None of that stuff was worth grabbing so you did good leaving it behind.

Wow! That's super cool! :worship:

Found a cool Coach messenger bag from the late 80's today. It's called a Carrier. Super thick, heavy leather. I would post a pic, but b/c im new, it takes seven years to get it up and by then the thread has gone 10 pages down the line. So, if anyone wants to see it, LMK -Available.

Found a cool T-shirt! Yeah, yeah - I know, I know - but it's an obscure brand and seems to be of fine quality ...for a T-shirt. :p

And don't let the size fool you; it fits as a large.
