The only saving grace at the store where I saw the trashed Saville Row items was the Banana Republic I am looking for. Unlined cotton duster in excellent condition save some wear to the leather on the belt buckle. It is XS, Brian.

The Welsh & Jefferies was a double breasted. The Plews an orphaned dinner jacket. Both moth bitten beyond repair. Very sad.

That original label "Mill Valley, California" tagged Banana Republic is the duster you're looking for. As you probably know, when The Gap (before it was just "Gap") took over and then later sacked travel journalists Mel & Patricia Ziegler (Banana's founders), the whole safari and travel ethos was chucked, sadly. If you've not seen it, here's a great site called "Abandoned Republic" that celebrates the early years, incredibly well-written catalogs, etc.: Abandoned Republic LINK

Was I stupid to pick these up for 10 bucks, does anybody think they can be resoled?

bench made in england, assuming c&j?


You'll make some money selling as-is for resole, but I don't think it'd be worth it to have them resoled before selling.

Sargent and Cheaney also made for Polo.

Hopefully these will help pay for my wife's 2 day Christmas shopping spree....


Sick. I love finding ties, maybe because they're a one size fits all kinda deal and I know I always have the option of keeping them.

^^ Ah, got it. It was difficult to tell on my phone. Still incredible, though!

Damn, Wes, killing it!

I never got an answer as to who makes these, but if anyone is interested they're available. 34w 30.5 inseam, with about an inch to lengthen. Let me know, thanks.

Dibs dibs dibs!!!

In other news, thrift fit.

Something I passed on but thought was curious just from the tags. Was a nice heavy coat - double breasted unvented....
