LOL, that is in my size, but I will sit this one out. I got enough solid colored stuff in my wardrobe. If that has a chest size 24 - 25" pit to pit, TheWGP would be a trader here you should contact. Also Achillies and Jkidd other possible guys I know that would fit that. Kitonlini as well could fit that. There are a few of us bigger chaps knocking around this thread.

You know, just for spite, I should wear an orphaned suit jacket with "I <3 StyleForum" embroidered on the back.

...Part 2....
All these items were purchased by SF member Beck. I just took the photos and said I'd do some bragging for him as he's got a busy night ahead of him. AKAIK, everything is for sale. If you have any interest in any of these items, please don't PM me as I really don't want a bunch of messages regarding items that I don't own. PM him, please (see link below).
http://www.styleforum.net/u/148320/beck
- RLPL (made in England) Blackwatch Plaid 100% Cashmere Sportcoat. Ticket Pocket. Side vented. 44 R. Best FU jacket ever!! Also, recent Zegna mainline cashmere/rayon sportcoat. Side vented as well.

- Robert Graham casual shirt (L) and RLBL casual tux (pleated bib) shirt (sz 16).

- Dolce & Gabbana Tailored Fit dress shirt (16) and RLPL silk floral L/S shirt (L)

- Crazy Etro shirt ( Eu 42) and Isaia Napoli dress shirt ( 16.5)

I haven't got to really indulge myself into my cut of the treasure quite yet as I had a busy night, I will rescue the beauties tonight...Oh yes....*drool*. Also like Nataku said, everything is up for sale.. wish i had a larger physique... But the payoff will definitely make my Chicago trip worthwhile in April...this is a nice early birthday present from the thrifting gods.

Pics of the RLPL Shirt sz L, tan check (is that the correct name for the pattern?) w/MOP buttons.

I swear it fit better at the store, but when I just tried it on again, the shoulders are a bit large.

Black shirts really shouldn't exist. Sorry about the dress code.

Johnny Cash excepted! Thanks.

bummer dig. but where are your SF priorities? time to quit the job so you can still dress well!

Hah! As if. The mortgage company would look poorly on it.

damn that sucks. look on the bright side: now anytime someone finds brioni/isaia/kiton/oxxford/rlpl in color black, they'll know exactly who to send it to!

Size doesn't matter! :lol:

So I've been told.

Dig,
That's a huge bummer. My brother works at Herberger's Dept. store and they have to wear all black. It looks ridiculous.
Doesn't mean you have to stop thrifiting. I feel your pain though. I'm a machinist by trade. At work, I wear dirty t-shirts and jeans. Unless I want something covered in oil, metalworking fluid (coolant), grease and grime, I don't wear it. With that said, I still enjoy the thrifting hobby and can dress as I please on my days off and the weekend.

A fine attitude which I will endeavor to adopt!

total bummer, but you can still thrift and sell/trade for http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?Colo...nc&_dcat=57990&Sleeve%20Length=Short%20Sleeve and http://www.ebay.com/sch/Pants-/57989/i.html?_dcat=1059&Color=Blacks&_from=R40&_nkw=kiton

Niice. I can deal with that!

...Oh, and... dig, condolences.

Thanks, guys. All of you! I'll resist the black pants as long as possible!

Interesting to see a Carroll & Co. make it all the way across the country, nice pickup.

Now, on to my non-Nataku like finds:

Brown J Press Tweed Blazer (p2p about 21/22 - available)

And this interesting Paul Stuart tweed... workshirt? shacket?

Made in Ireland with a leather neckband:

Woven in Scotland:

Even has a possible NSFW back pleat:

And Dig, sorry about the dresscode. I've got a Black Aquascutum Macintosh available if you just want to wear that.

That Hermes jacket is a cool find. I don't think that I've ever found an Hermes anything that wasn't a tie. From your close up pic of the hole, it looks like the material on the sleeve is pretty shiny. Has it been dry cleaned to death?

all joking aside, does anyone know if Alfani Red Label flips for significantly more on ebay than regular Black Label?

Mother of god.. Can I trade my NWT Burberry London shirt for that? I never see ALFANI...Is it made in Croatia? O.O

vexco · Mar 6, 2012

Also left behind today: pair of NWT PRL made in italy(corneliani) herringbone wool/cashmere pants. I think they'll fit me...well, I HOPE they'll fit me but we'll see.

So maybe by now you've seen my thread about the change in the dress code where I work, starting tomorrow. Black shirts only. Polo or collar. Black or khaki pants only.
I just ran back out and thrifted a JAB black Traveler in (nearly) my size. It has a monogram on the cuff that I'm picking off as I type and either dirt or significant fading on some of the the hem areas.
This pretty much kills my interest in thrifting. Maybe for SWMBO, still. I dunno. I just spent a year building/altering a wardrobe that is almost completely unusable at work, beginning tomorrow. It's retail and I've been there too long for it to make financial sense to go looking elsewhere.
I am seriously bummed.

Not that bad bro. Black on black. cash did it. Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt, George Clooney. These guys all did it. Black suit, black jacket, different shade black or no tie. Will start looking for black stuff for you. Size?

It's just the lighting. I was taken with a strong overhead light.
