However, did pick up a sweet Marc Jacobs jacket.

I think you can wear a tuxedo jacket with pants that don't necessarily match up exactly. I think it's quite common actually.

Picked up a 100% Vicuna overcoat today. Made by Austram Co in Vienna, Austria. Any info on the maker appreciated. Great hand to it and no apparent flaws. I have no idea of the age.

Sorry for the phone pics. Also noticed small tear at corner of right pocket, but looks to be easily repairable. Thanks!

Where do you guys find this awesome stuff?! I've been to several thrift stores in Los Angeles and there's nothing there.

Thanks all for feedback on shoes.

Yesterday i heeded the advice of the forum and bought this 6 ft manikin for $20 at my local SA.

Normally, i dont even check their racks for suits but found these 2 at half price or $25.00 for the two ofem.

These are my first Oxxford's and they are very nice and my size

This grey one looks like new without a flaw. The wool is so heavy its a wonder if this suit every gets worn in TX.

Awesome Oxxfords! Nice find on the mannequin. I am trying to find one myself, but the shipping when buying off of ebay is friggin' ridiculous!

I got a box of 40 Paul Stuart ties for about $1.50 each. A bunch of ugly ones, but probably 16-20 that'll hit my rotation and almost no wear on most of them.

Picked up a nice Thomas Pink shirt today, found some nice suits but the place I go to is priced incredibly high because they just bring in the nicest stuff from the area. Passed on a paul stuart suit and a couple of HF because they were all $200+
