Is that label ever seen on ties though? I have some that im pretty sure are liscensed, but I don't know how that label would fit on the tie. And to clarify, cosbysweater, there is no such thing as Gant rigger or hugger? I thought i'd seen both posted. Regardless, I got Rugger today, its like XXLT though, so if you are a giant man and want it let me know.

In my personal experience even the recent lanvin ties, while nice, aren't really worth anything dollar wise

Is anyone even going to read this, or are you all watching the counter?

I wasn't even going to GW today but my wife had to check for something.

First off, a NWT PRL Classic Oxford (blue & white stripe).

Then some sweet ivy league goodness. This baby must be over 45 years old and it's a long way from home.
PAtch pockets, beautiful lapel and buttons and single vent. Nothing in it but the H. Freeman & Son tags.

Measurements:
Chest: 23"
Shoulders: 18.25"
Sleeves: 26.5"
Length: 32.25"

Only blemish is an ancient ink mark on near left shoulder blade.

Available to someone who'd give it a good home and party like it's 1959.

how about some B&O rosewood speakers to go with that

prefer walnut? PARADIGM brand new in box form 2006

whats better then brand new Paradigms?

how about brand new in box never used BOSE 501s from 1980

as exciting as those were there was only one item that really blew my mind (im a bit jaded after all these years of finding shit)

a brand new never ridden 1971 Japanese Bridgestone bike with the warranty card and instruction s still attached at a goodwill for $100 ( a guy fooowed me to the parking lot and offered me $500 on the spot but this one is a keeper).

^ That's how you do 40000!

RE: Gant Rugger. I've found some old Gant Rugger stuff that didn't seem especially nice. I think it's just the more current Rugger, designed by Christopher Bastin, that's desired.

I know you were never really gone DM7, but welcome back anyways. There were 27 of us on at the time of 40K, and I was hoping someone would step up with something worthy!
