Gorgeous. If those don't fit, I'll gladly buy them. I've been looking for preforated loafers for a minute now.

Haha, yeah - it's great. What sucks is relying on eBay selling to pay the bills!

On a related note I picked up a vintage HSM topcoat in a lovely olive/black glenplaid.


The spoken/ typed truth

Thrifting Karma is great. On my way to the Minneapolis Sally, I pulled over to help an older lady who's car stalled (by the way, whatever happened to good
old-fashioned help? She said she had been there for 20 minutes and only got stares". She had no AAA or cell phone. I helped push her car into a parking lot and then we called a loacl shop from my cell, then called her daughter to pick her up.

Alltogether not a bad day:

Missoni 3 btn blazer

Arny's tab-collar shirt (gonna flip, I hate tab collars)

Katharine Hamnett BD shirt

L.L. Bean wool shirt (Made in the USA)

NWT unhemmed Zanella trousers ( to flip)

NWOT PRPS jeans (Made in China, but what the hell for $7)

NWOT Ted Baker shirt (not the cheap Macys line, this is the line that uses numbered sizes ie:1,2,3...)

Shirt from Unknown Brand called Utility Mode.99

NWOT Raw Black H&M Jeans. Don't know if they're anything special, but they have a cloth tag at the top that says "&denim.EST.2005" on the back it says " First Edition & denim PreLaunch. Exclusively made from the finest denim with attention to authentical details that all together just will look better the longer you wear them. Treat them with love &denim with love you back. Full Edition in store 2005.09.15." (to flip, I wish I was a 30" waist!)

I bought this a few years ago from high-end clothier Cedrics, which used to be located in the Galleria. It costed about $1,500.

That's it! Went for what I paid, so whoever got it got a helluva deal. Also, in the past, I find my items where I stated that I purchased new went for more $ than items I failed to mention their origin. Just a marketing tactic (which didn't work in this case). However, if I overlooked a flaw, that would be more subject to concern

Heh. I make my living in marketing. Everyone on ebay says they bought it new.

I bought it to wear with jeans.

I agree the deal was a good one.
