Have any of you ever visited the J Peterman site? Their write-ups of their products are humorous.

Thrift fit:

Last day out for the Harris Tweed I'm afraid.
Banana Republic shirt(thrifted by me)
Thomas Pink tie(thrifted by me)
Polo Ralph Lauren Khakis(thrifted by me)
The jacket is too small in the shoulders but only just. I think I can get away with it for now.

Would have been cool to have seen the content tag.

Ask and ye shall receive. I thought of that while driving across town a bit ago.

At least these aren't $400 anymore. But mein Gott, I could get these for ~$150 on Ebay...

Wow, ridiculous thrift store pricing

That doesn't look like a Zegna tag to me. Was the coat fully canvassed?

Me either. I didn't check the jacket carefully. Quick feel of the lapel: either at least half canvassed or nice fusing. Once I knew I didn't want it myself I moved on quickly.

Hey brosephs.

I have been and will be mostly absent and sporadic at best for the next few months.

While we were out of town, my daughter (yes, three daughters) came very early at 28 weeks. And the complications that caused it nearly took my wife (inorite? What is this, 1613??). So we are laid up with my incredibly strong and resilient wife recovering and my baby in the nicu.

Please send thoughts, prayers and whatever you believe in; we're out of the woods, but it will be a long and windy road home.

But most of all, keep poasting awesome stuff. Thrifting will be a rare treat, and posting even rarer. So I will live vicariously through you guys for a while.

But don't think this gives ANYONE permission to fish my waters, or that it any way negates my permadibs on 42R, 36 x 30, 16.5 x 34, 10.5-11D.

Yeah, it's been there for at least two months. I asked what color tag was half off today... They *might* be worth it at half off.
