No, Brioni and Kiton are real dogs on Ebay.

You might as well donate these to Style Forum and have a charity auction benefiting SF.

Someone might pay $5 or $10 for them here!

I found a 40R Brioni sportcoat myself... unfortunately I'm a 42L, but make me an offer. It was in an otherwise AWFUL thrift store in downtown LA, I almost missed it.

I recently picked up a great paisley Robert Talbott 7 fold tie for $25 at Nordstrom rack. The sales lady said they originally had 3 but her son bought the other two. She also mentioned that they almost never get them. Cha Ching!

Gloriously patterned Paul Stuart tie $2
Ralph Lauren belt $1
Seersucker sport coat (Palm Beach for M. Epstein, neither of which I've ever heard of but its made well enough and fits great so I'm not complaining) $5

[Edit]: Just found an ancient sales tag with a list price of $210.00 in one pocket of the coat and a 25 cent yosemite park stamp in the other! Don't know how old that makes the jacket but pretty entertaining regardless.

Nice try gents,this one's a keeper.Especially since my treasured Marks& Spencer brolly,(which I had managed to keep for 15 years) was recently stolen from a restaurant with a public coat rack

Anyhow,I think it was a higher power which placed the Brigg right there in front of me

Stopped by a Value Villiage today for the first time.

NWOT RLPL White linen D/B blazer $14 (needs left sleeve lining fixed)

Both 40R

A nice find today: Some AE Byrons in Chili (in 10EEE ... my size!), still totally wearable... $8.

Excuse the picture, my li'l MacBook can only do so much.

I popped in to one of my local shops today on the way to the Yacht club and picked up some beautiful Zanella wool trousers in a cream color ( will be perfect for summer or really any time whilst here in S. Florida). Not sure the model name but they are a fuller cut. The waist fits perfectly as does the length (no cuff). I am however going to have to have the legs slimmed and the seat taken in a little...this shouldn't be too difficult an alteration, right?

Ha ha ha ha ha... this dude stopped into the thrift store on his way to the yacht club. That's golden.

^I see nice cars (BMW, etc) in thrift store parking lots all the time. I figure it just shows good sense on their part.
