Pretty good haul today:

1. Vintage Burberry's Trench Coat with lining in size 40S in really good shape
2. Also Brooks Brothers trench coat (Made in USA) with lining in probably size 44R in really good shape as well.
3. 42R Polo RL gray wide white pinstripe suit (Made in USA).

As always: looking for 38R type stuff.

Found like 5 charvet bespoke shirts... all 3 years old, all had beat to hell cuffs, wtf? Guess that fabric wasn't so tough, just expensive. Such a bummer.

RE: anybody who has PM'd me about trading stuff, I have read your PM and am going to try to have a spreadsheet put together w/ some pics in a week or two. Thanks for all the interest!

If they still have style. Don't forget there is a market for vintage.

From yesterday:

Nordstrom shoes with plenty of wear left in them, size 11M. Spent 1 hour polishing and cleaning them, will need to do more obviously... Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Lands End tie Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

NWOT Trafalgar (honey leather) brown belt, size 44

Keeping the shoes, will probably sell tie on ebay and definately the belt as well, as it is a little too big for me...

Stone mint Barbour Tweed Beaufort jacket. My size (M in Barbour). Has the throat latch too. Love it! This store is getting wise, though. Had to cough up $25 for this puppy. Stone mint Barbour Tweed Beaufort (Click to show)

You sir, won teh internetz yesterday. I have been combing the coat racks for several months now in hopes of a score like that. Not that I can complain about what I have found so far!
