Just found a Hickey Freeman navy blazer, size 42R, at my local Goodwill, and bought it. It's absolutely gorgeous, two buttons (a very dark brass), side vents, 90% wool/10% cashmere, nice slim fit, and I'm so chuffed. I'll post some pics when my camera is fully charged. I do love it, but if anyone is interested in it, shoot me a PM.

Passed on a mint Dwell Studio shower curtain a couple months ago for $5 because I didn't know what I'd do with it. We had two bathrooms both with shower stalls. We're moving now and the new place has a shower stall and a regular tub/shower. Should have grabbed it.

However I do think you were right in leaving it. If we picked up every cool item we found simply because it's cool then we'd all be certified hoarders.

Uh oh. My family has been encouraging me to watch "Hoarders." Think it may be a hint.

A nice day for ties, at least for me.

^^ Finding anything made by Kiton makes it a good day!

True....very true. I do have trouble passing up good deals, but I also cannot stand clutter. Works out for the best in my case.

Nice, I've only found Kiton (a shirt) once in Atlanta.

This is actually my second Kiton tie. I didn't think the first was picture worthy though, but I love this one. When I wore the other for the first time, I noticed in the sunlight that there was a subtle large dark stain on it. I am thinking about trying to clean it because I don't have much to lose.

This one is clean though.

Hit a couple GW's today, found a PRL Charcoal Nailhead suit in 42L, up for grabs if anyone's interested. No pics at the moment but I'll take some later.


For myself I picked up a Lord & Taylor duffle coat and some PRL regent fit shirts, nothing special. Also bought two identical Barney's black/white pindot ties, kind of unusual to find two of the same ties.

Today was almost a complete and total bust. Found some Zanella pants, but they were pleated and way too small for me so I didn't snag them. They were 32/30 if I remember, so I can snag them for someone if they're interested (navy blue with faint gray stripes).

The only thing that made my day worth going out at all was finding an autographed (in gold marker) copy of Ghostfast Killah's "Fishscales" album. Boom-schwacky!
