My thoughts exactly. Got excited when I saw Bijan, but then saw the made in Mexico part and thought there's no way that's right.

Picked up this nice Jil Sander 3/4 coat today sz EU 46. Too tight so available. Also these PRL 36X33.5 wool pants (available)
Wow, this is so nice. I'm really glad it's not a size up though, I'd be a little bit more broke. Also, loro piana + truzzi cashmere? Wow! Not a thrift, or even an ethrift really (well it was more than 80% off retail so maybe it was) but I just got this awesome shirt in the mail from uncle Spoo :cheers:

Celebrated accepting my position with a trip down to the Stamford/Darien/etc thrift stores. Ya'll weren't kidding about them marking things up. One had literally no base-price suits (every single one was 'boutique' apparently), another was that way with shirts. Some beautiful stuff (although for the prices they sure were lazy about matching pants to jackets for suits), but took little for myself.

Shirts: Ledbury (n/a), Luciano Barbera (available)
Ties: Comme des Garcon Homme (a weirdly specific cherry popped), Custom Shop

Thanks! It was the last store of the day, but that was the one that really pushed me over the edge on being annoyed with the markups. That thing was 9.99 and was the weekly half-off color. Meanwhile even freaking Joseph Banks ties were 9.99, Ferragamo's 25 or 35, etc, etc.
