I like mine... has a lot of quality touches like the pocket flap fabric lining up, and the pocket binding being pinstripes across rather than just plain... pickstiching etc

If you run into any of those in a 40S or 40R in a navy or any other SC colors, at least 1/2 canvassed, please let me know. I actually like them. Thanks.

Unless it's their LBM 1911 line which is becoming well known

Apologies to everyone that asked about the Corneliani Linea Sartoria jacket measurements. The driver that was taking me home and myself got rear ended by a Tahoe on the way back from Sleep no More (WHICH, HOLY SHIT GUYS LOOK IT UP AND THEN FLY TO NY AND EXPERIENCE THIS). I'll try to get some later today for sure as well as better pictures.

Lubiam 1911 not flipping? Yeah, that's an understatement. This sweet-as-hell 44 R pure silk number sat on ebay for a while with no interest at all. I was practically giving it away. It never sold, so now it's sitting in my closet.

I have seen a lot of Lubiam 1911 stuff, usually pass because it isn't my size, but the stuff IMO is really nice and they have some pretty cool patterns/designs.

Pants! Pants! Pants!

Trying this again, don't think my post from before went through.  I've been lurking on the forums, trying to do some learning. So far in the GWs I've hit I've found a few good staple shirts that filled some holes in my wardrobe.  Nothing amazing, but will certainly work until it is replaced with higher quality items.

I've also purchased about 20 dior ties and anything I can find with a YSL label.

 

I think this is the best thing I have found so far, thoughts?

^ HF is usually very good quality and construction, but that label looks pretty old to me. as much as dudes in suits like to masturbate to the idea of "enduring style" and "timeless yadda yadda," an old suit tends to look old (outliers notwithstanding) and is more likely to be dry-cleaned to death, heavily worn, etc. there's a thread or google doc floating around somewhere with pictures of all the HF labels, that'll give you an idea of what HF labels to look for.

There's a place across the street from my work called the Haberdashery that sells Lubiam blazers, I go into there to fondle them from time to time, but alas even on sale they run upwards of $400, too rich for my blood. But what's that you say? You found a cray cray one in my size?

I just want to give a shout out to everyone whom I've gotten stuff from or traded with over the last couple months. I'm not going to name names because the list is too long. You know who who you are. You guys fucking rock!!!!! Everyday is like Christmas at my house with Santa being replaced by the postman.

:::EDIT FOR SNARK::: Welcome. These are typically not brag-worthy in the slightest, except for very limited circumstances. This gets said about every other week. Most of it is simply licensed.


It's super old. Probably pre-1980s. If it works for you, glad you dig it.

Re: the wire hangar. You're killing me, Smalls.

Thanks for the info on the HF, it seems to be in good condition and it is the first sportcoat I have owned that has some silk in it.  I'll rock it for a while. I was really digging another SC I found until I got it home and noticed a small hole on the back just below the collar. Sucks.

 

The dior ties and YSL comment was just to prove I've been reading the thread.  Haven't actually picked any up.  

I guess I was thrown off by the word "purchased." Internet jokes, heh.
