I "think" they would also have Izod on the label. At least the ones I have seen do. I haven't dealt much with this line....but I am fairly certain the lacosta stitched into the alligator is always fake.
Me neither....

... Even ignoring how networks like FX and HBO have presented a serious challenge to the movie industry of late...

I first read this as "Netflix". I think I have them on the brain since they are doing the "House of Cards" series here.

Oh yeah ...ahem... y'all should check out this post on the thread about that upcoming series that's being shot in The Land of Pleasant Living!

You can thrift your flights via Captain Kirk. Last year NYC to Honolulu 430 return pp, three weeks before flight :slayer:
600 dollar room for 120 at Grand Hyatt. They even gave frq flyer points.


Captain Kirk?


Wanted to but the wife hates horror flicks. Doh! Gotta wait till it comes out on DVD.


It's more less a commentary on scary movies rather than a scary movie itself. Definitely has some scary moments, though.


Aaah, thanks. I feel a little better now. That doesn't spark my interest as much.

Good luck, but that's going to be a high opening bid for that shirt, imo

You guys all research what your selling before you list it right? The sweet spot seems to be $10-$15 but there are a bunch that dont sell at $9.99 + shipping.  

Ebay completed listings http://www.ebay.com/csc/Casual-Shir...=200&_sc=1&_sop=16&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1514


I normally pass over Viyella...nice stuff, but fits into the Facconable category (e.g. nicely made **** that doesn't sell well). But the pattern on this was awesome.


^ This. I found a really nice Viyella shirt not that long ago in a red/white/blue plaid that I thought would go in a minute, but no dice. I actually only picked it up b/c I couldn't bear to see it sitting on the rack. Ended up giving it to a buddy, so it went to good use.

But I just don't do shirts generally, anymore. I'd make certain exceptions, obviously, but I've only ever lost money trying to sell them.

Can anyone give me a couple quick tips about what kind of suits to look for while thrifting? I never wear suits so I don't know too much about them. I don't need a comprehensive guide just some rough tips would be great. I can spot brands but I don't know them all, and I know some older suits can be pretty worthless even from popular labels. I was looking through stuff a few days ago and I was lost. I saw some BB and old Burberrys stuff but not surprisingly most was old and didn't look too great so I didn't think anything was worth it
