Lol got you two confused. Either way though, the Florsheim's are still comfortable as all hell, and the Cheaney's just look like the secks. My next few trips will probably just be looking for stuff to repay you guys for helping me out rather than anything for myself as I just realized for once that I basically have everything I "need" (2-3 staple suits, six+ dress shoes, slacks, SCs, etc.) besides maybe an extra pair of navy blue slacks or something. Doubt that'll keep me out of the game for long, especially since none of you guys are my size so I'll likely end up picking things up for myself as well.

What is this word "need" that you use?

I have those pants. They're awesome but I've only worn them around the house.

Moonrise Kingdom inspired thrift fit coming soon?

So here's my finds from the last couple days... First of all, these weren't a thrift find but I got them NIB at about 55% of retail... and they used up all of my budget. Here they are after I put a mirror on the toes








Here's the To Boot NY I found... Size 10D and fit me okay, so I'm debating keeping them and making them my bad weather beaters







This came from eBay today





Should go well with this shirt I found today (if it fits and I decide to keep it)

...super thick MOP buttons on this

I also found a couple nice pair of flannel trousers (available). These are super soft and marked 34, but have been reduced down to 33"





These are marked 44 and measure TTS





Here's my best thrift find, a Brooks Brothers suede jacket. It was a bit more than regular thrift prices, but I should be able to double my investment at least (available). It's made in China but well made and seems unworn. I'd probably keep it if it fit me, but it fits more like a 44.









Also, anyone have opinions on Aquascutum tailored clothing made in Canada? I passed on a funky blue-green and black houndstooth sportcoat. I wasn't sure if it would flip being made in Canada and having a funky color.

No power, internet or TV for 2 days. That didn't stop my thrifting, though! Didn't find much, but I did find this, which is AVAILABLE.

BB "Made in Italy" brown/black hounds tooth, made with Loro Piana cloth, 3/2, 2 patch pockets, 44L






P2P - 23
Waist - 22.5
Sleeves - 26
Shoulders - 19.5
BOC - 32.25



Also, following this thread is a pain over 3G on an iPhone. Could one of you techie guys develop a SF app? Thanks.

Has anyone in the ATL area shopped at the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville? Their holiday sale runs through tomorrow and wondering if it's worth making the trip considering it's about 90 minutes one-way, and keeping in mind most of what I purchased would be with the intent to flip - assuming any amazing bargains are to be had. Only thing I need for myself are a couple pairs of Adidas Samba's and no reason to go that far for them. I've never been impressed with outlet mall prices but perhaps this place is better, and / or it's worth going when there's a sale. Grazie.

Sorry for the ****** pics. White balance on my camera is screwed up. Anyway, I kinda remember an edict from field command about a month ago for everyone to post Pal Zileri purchases of suits and SC's. Have to say I have passed on about 5 Pal Zileri suits and SC<s over the past 2 months. They just didn't fit me. Heartbreaking. But yesterday, I picked up this Pal Zileri Sport Pea Jacket. Sort of a fall-winter half length light coat.
