Also, insane haul from yesterday forthcoming.

Hey all, this is my first post to style forum. I have been a member for a couple years but never really spent too much time on here until found this thread. I also did not want to post anything until I got through this entire thread. (yes I read the entire 2028 pages, took about 6 months-that's not crazy, right?) Anywho, I would just like to say, reading this thread has been akin to reading a good book and after following it for so long, I feel like I know you guys. I really love the sense of community that goes on here and how (for the most part) you all help each other out, if not with knowledge, then with actual clothes. O.k so a little bit about me. I've been kind of a clothes whore since high school (going to all black public school's in the 90's was sort of like walking into a Ralph Lauren/ Tommy Hilfiger ad everyday). I've also been into thrifting for a couple years, although not really for clothes, mostly records, cool shit for the house. Anyway, I moved to much larger city about 6 months ago and happened to stumble onto this thread again. Let's just say the information that I've collected has been priceless. I've gone from owning a closet full of Nike dunks, to a closet full of kick ass "dress shoes". And my wardrobe has increased ten-fold. For the most part, the clothes I find are rarely my size (38, 32-30) but the good news is that I've got a ton of shit that I would like to trade with people on this thread! I also noticed that a few people seem to not be able to find shoes or pocket squares in their area. Those are two of the things I find the most of, so if anybody needs either of those, hit me up and I will keep my eye out. On that that note, as soon as I figure out how to post picks, I will show you some of the shoes and squares I picked up over the last 6 months. (sorry if this post is long winded, like I said I just finished reading this thread in its entirety last night and kind of had a lot to say)

I'm one of those who can't find pocket squares. Sometimes I find shoes, but definitely still looking (10E-10.5D)

Zegna, Zegna, Zegna, Zegna



Ted Baker, Paul & Shark yachting, Canali, Hilditch & Key



Gorgeous recent HF 52% silk/48% wool blend SC

Saks Fifth Avenue flat fronts, grey flannel Tattersal Ltd flat fronts in size 38 (don’t know anything about them, but the quality is there and they seem to be from the same donor as the other hot shit), 
dark navy Isaia Napoli flat fronts in size 39, brown Zegna for Incotex flat fronts in size 40, 
black Zanella Platinum UNICORNS in size 40





And this...

That being said, double vented is still king and sells for more (obviously)
andro, those isaia pants should fetch some decent money on ebay if you decide to sell. Flat front and recent isaia tag make them awesome. (aquaspider wool maybe?)
I know SF doesn't seem to love navy pants, but I had a hell of a time finding flat front navy pants last fall and winter.

I'm with you, I don't mind ventless at all (but if I had an option I would get with a single vent). I also love navy pants, aren't they a classic along with charcoal?
