Found this 100% Linen Zegna windowcheck. Sweeeeet  !--Labeled 52 R EU 42 R US (right?) -not my size so it be available.

clockwise from top left, bullock and jones made in italy (looks like etro? is that right)  paul smith, j.press, mercer and sons

RLPL from eBay

but  - think this could be cleaned by "the method"?

Willis & Geiger is apparently worth money?

Cable Car Clothiers Suit - wool, khaki probably a 44 jacket 38x32 trousers, hit me up if interested

So... I passed on these today, assuming they're fake. But I would be totally happy to be proven wrong.

OP's shoes are from the main line and are real, probably from about 4-5 years ago.+

+1. I was itching about what Milano and just Prada made in Italy had in common/differed. So is Milano the diffused line then? I see it sometimes and am not sure if it's super crazy or just meh.
 Like seeing Armani Collezioni to Giorgio Armani Black Label..

Ever

I have seen this too often my friend. I just had it happen similarly twice in one day. My first negatives one after another, both complete idiots who don't get that IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHIP CO2 CANISTERS. (Paintball Guns). If you thrifters ever come across any... just leave them be. Nothing but trouble.

Also, thank you to...

-TheWGP for being so patient with my forgetful payment of the Bogner.(fits great btw)!

-MadMacs for the amazing Oxxford Houndstooth Suit!

-Grendel for doing business with me.

-Dahl5yankees for the amazing Bespoke Couture by Ozwald Boateng.(sadly too long, to the bay they go)

ALSO: DM7, I have a buddy who would die to wear those shoes, and yes I could see him wearing the suit too. I know you intentionally did that from your post and hope the dance was fun. Keep posting, your thrift/consignment finds are teaching me more super cool brands to look out for that I have never heard of.
