Find from a month or two ago that I just got around to photographing after having it green cleaned...

PRL made in Italy by Corneliani with all the fixings - Ticket pocket, 3 roll 2, dual vents. 41L and available, measurements below. (excuse the quick point n shoot pics).

If these measurements are out of line let me know, it was my first time measuring a coat but I followed the directions linked to previously that seemed legit.
Chest- 21.5
Waist- 20
Shoulders 19.5
Jacket length below collar 33.5
Sleeves 24.75
















Brown/tan/olive sorta coloration.


Jacket was spotless at the thrift store, decided to get it cleaned anyway. Also totally free of pit stains, and no holes or wear for that matter. Has a baggie with extra buttons in one of the front pockets too, didn't even realize it was there when I bought it. Wish it were my size.

Gant Rugger madras shirt. 2XL...so wish this was my size.


Big Pony = Big Pimpin' - xxl xxxl



And BB madras shirt marked Medium

Funny you should mention that, because they used the same clip of me bidding twice, but I actually bid on those items. I didn't get any deal the day they filmed, but I have in the past. I was bidding on the railroad cart in tonight's show and that Hudson on the last show.
You're lucky you got your money back. I've seen them sell a few fake items worth a lot more and I don't think the buyer was refunded...
I wish I had been at the auction when they had that bronze statue/fountain. I would have bid on that so hard.

I think once you walk in, past the signs that say "filming blah blah rights blah blah" they can do whatever they want. The Audubon I won was around $600, allegedly from the 1800's, turned out to be a 1950's repro once I got it back (they kept it for 2 months since it was a TV item). Had to do the nervous interview sessions and all. THANKFULLY it was a TV item and they already had the photos showing the repro proof, else I'd probably be screwed. Last time I saw myself was the Oliver North episode [despite not having been to that one]. I saw the Hudson show - nice item. Next time I go will be towards the end when they sell some really nice rugs for next to nothing - will have to preview them tho. Wool Oriental, Turkish etc going for peanuts. Cool folks there too - always have fun when I go.

Mainy, any chance those Orvis leather stripe pants are a 30? Weird item, but I think I could have fun with them in winter.

Givenchy...Activewear?

It (the instances you and 330 are talking about where you appear in episodes/bid on things you didn't bid on) is sometimes called "frankenclipping" in the post production world. Like anything else, reality tv is still involves writers trying to tell a story, so they cut and paste as needed to make scenes work with their story arc. You'd be amazed at the stuff that goes on in the editing bays...

Measurements on these two, please.

I am going to throw in a guess. Cole Hann Ascot, looks like a garden variety re-sole, notice how soft the sole leather is, if it is stamped Made in India under the right vamp then I would wager $ on it.

This was to be a response to the question of origin of the suede bit loafers, all thumbs...

To clear up some recent gitman discussion. This is the correct (and only worthwhile in my opinion) label to look for

I've been sitting on these for a few weeks now but finally got around to taking some pictures. I picked up some shoes which I did not think existed in KC. A pair of brown croc Chelseas and a pair of black croc monkstraps with brass buckles...both by Banister and both in my size!
