Sweet orange Massimo Bizzocchi tie (Go 'cuse!). Didn't this dude run Kiton?

I actually picked one of these up recently from a dude here on SF (but not on this thread). Mine's brown field with green and blue geometrics. Really like it.

First time out in a while and found some decent stuff.

Canali button down 17/43

Paul & Shark Yachting button down XL

Canali 16/41

J Crew Pacthwork Madras 32x30

Agave Denim 33x35.5 (nwot???)

Allen Edmonds Belmont 11B (Conditioned up nice after the pix)

Allen Edmonds Stockbridge 9.5D (seem to run small)

All available except for the first two shirts.

Also saw an old KHS Montana for $10.00. That was my first Mountain Bike almost 20 year ago. Need a lot of love. 50% off tomorrow so I wonder if the frame is worth $5???

The Bridge?

It smells really nice.

Anybody know anything about this? It's heavy as hell too. I looked this thing up on Singer's website, apparently it's from 1951.

There you go, one more proof that my tailor is full of it. Need a new one. I need that suit to fit me.

There definitely appears to be some letters faintly visible when I messed with it a bit...

Finally, FINALLY, managed to reunite an orphan jacket with its pants. The jacket's been hanging around the store for weeks but the pants just mysteriously appeared and I found them tonight.

This one's for the larger gentleman. Beautiful material; trousers are cuffed with double reverse pleats.

Anyone know what that pink tag is on the label?

PS Thanks for the kind word Spoo. You're just being gracious because you're doing the classic drug dealer MO: get 'em hooked and he'll keep coming back for more.

Hung out with Troika today. He's a really cool guy, very down to earth. He's very knowledgeable. Got to pick his brain for a bit. Picked up some Elie Tahari women's flats to flip. Offered him a cut but he respectfully declined. What a guy. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Thanks. I'll give them a call. Their number is on the website, but office closed at the moment. This thing wasn't cheap, but not unreasonably expensive, and I've been looking for a nice sewing machine so I think this fits the bill nod[1].gif
