Thrifting while traveling home from the holidays.

Picked up this Awesome Toggle Coat







Orphaned Jacket, but I couldn't pass it up.









Basically Brand New Tuxedo.









I also came across this mark in a trench coat with no other markings.
Anyone know anything about what it might be?





Also, does anyone know if these are flippable?

Wish the duffel and tux fit, not sure why you picked up the RL though.... and only one person really wants that last one....

I thought it was a running joke, but is this for real your family?


Ive got a daughter, not a son. Sadly, our clothing line is just not as popular.

A few things worth mentioning over the last few days...
700

I don't wear ties often but I'll probably keep this one in the quiver just in case...
700

700

Always on the lookout for solid outdoor gear and this made in USA North Face piece will work
700

Was looking at stuff in the next aisle over and literally walked through the clothing rack when I spotted this...a couple sizes too big around the waist but perfect length and shoulders so may drop it off at the tailor to get it taken in... Vintage(?) Made in USA Woolrich down vest, khaki with royal blue liner
700

700

BB only came to Canada recently and Black Fleece even later so I skipped over the label at first because I barely recognized it but went back because of the material
700

Ended up finding it's British cousin the next day...
700


Missing detailed pics of:
- NWT Ogio "half dome" duffle for the gym
- Zegna LS polo with all of the MOP buttons broken by the dry cleaners so going to have to find some replacements
- lavender poplin Etro for when the snow melts
- NWT lululemon men's SS work out shirt in my size

Ended up passing on 5 pairs of Caporicci made in Italy shoes (not exotics) and wondering how the construction is? Did a quick google search and could only find reference to their exotics skins but not their regular calf leather shoes. Any ideas? Worth going back for?
FYI - I did a quick wipe down of the shoe on the right to see what was underneath the dust and dirt, uppers in solid shape, same with soles but a bit of wear on the heels

You sure? Looks like some of those vamps might be deer skin.

My stuff.....

Unavailable:

Bought 2 hats at the local vintage / consignment shop for >thrift prices, but still a great deal: Made in Italy Borsalino for BB, and Made in England Lock & Co. for BB. Both are a tiny bit un-snug at 7 1/4, but I will get some fit tape to size down a tad. I think the Borsalino is camel hair, but not sure; plus, it's mint!






Camel hair? Definitely feels like it.

Lock & Co.:


I was going to make these ties available, but they're so much my style that I think I'll hold onto them for myself:

De la Renta Couture, Gant, BB Makers, J. Press




Available for Proxy

This Borsalino is marked a 7 1/8 but fits more like 7 1/4; it was a little too large on me, larger than the 7 1/4 above that I got for myself. There was also another similar hat in black by Stetson, 7 3/8 I think. Each at $28.



If interested, should probably get back to me soon (in the next day or so); storeowner saw my enthusiasm and my purchase, and afterword mentioned she should probably re-price the remaining stock somewhat higher.

2 Viyella wool/cotton flannel, size S, maybe XS (Brianpore?). $15 each. Looked like it would fit me but on the smaller side. I didn't try on as it was not my style, but can get measurements later if it's still there if someone is interested. Lighter one has some yellowing around the collar that should come out.

Can't believe none of these ignorant fools posted to tell you those are an awesome find. They are.
DSquared Navy Pants 36

Oh hey... I went thrifting too. Here's the stuffs.

Pants... Brioni (2x pleated), Zegna (FF), Canali (1x pleated)


More pants, all of these are clearly from the same donor... a guy who's about a foot shorter than me.

Zegna FF x2, Canali FF


Some Harry Rosen branded linen pants for me, should be a nice wear come summer.


The label on the inside. That red dot over the 'i' in Napoli looks a little familiar... Or is it just wishful thinking?


Skeet blanket in its natural state. Soon to be transferred to the protective care of eBay.




After striking out at the Boxing Day sales yesterday (probably because I was working until 6), I hit up the Winners near my parents' place this evening. Found some interesting things...

Pal Zileri grey silk/wool pants. About 33-34 x 30. Available for cost ($25) + shipping if anyone wants them. Too good to leave behind.


And then there's these. Set me back some cash but I think they were worth it.

This is the Dior you're looking for.



Also, I posted this ridiculous Thom Browne sleeveless oxford a while ago and got no comments, so I'm re-posting because I assume everyone was just too in shock to react.
