Dang you beat me to it, if they don't work out for you swing that Isaia my way.

BTW the Borrelli shirts I ordered arrived, I'll try them on and then get back to you. Also, that seller listed more shirts in 16.5.

All of them were in perfect like new shape (mostly because the oldest were from the mid 90's) and I really have no idea if there was a goldmine there or not but there sure was a shit ton of them.

They also got in a nice sized donation suits all from the same guy, purchased from the same shop, and every single one of them had some kind of funky crap on the pants whether its food stains, bleach, and what I'm really choosing to hope is some sort of sticky white condiment. Samuelsohn, Boss, and Brooks all wrecked.

Sigh.

...a bit of knowledge in vinyl can return you huge amounts. Is it techno as in the genre, or a generic term used to describe electronic music? Old Detroit techno goes for large prices; some Drum and Bass goes for quite a bit as well.

Sweet! If you do keep them, could you get measurements so I can decide between the 16.5 and the 17?

I will definitely let you know. I need to keep you in mind when something doesnt work for me!

And if the 16.5s don't work for you, you know who to call!

A couple of people were curious to see pictures of the Brooks Brothers casual jacket I mentioned last week. I went back and decided to buy it, so here it is. Looking over it, I think it must be NWOT. Being the end/beginning of the year, I've seen quite a few things that were obviously donated by retailers for a tax break. This was one of those, I think. Planning to keep.
