Otherwise, after watching that video this thing is pretty cool. Thanks guys!
Hope you get a jump start on the fall rush when I'm gone. This is about the time the good stuff starts to come out!

I'll do what I can. Jealous of your vacation though, I've dreamed of visiting Japan for a long long time.

So, a couple of things...

A few days ago, I asked if anyone knew the maker of Zegna's sunglasses. I sent them an email and got a response:

vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail.

Bezug nehmend auf Ihre Frage kann ich Ihnen die Info geben, dass unsere Brillen durch die Firma DeRigo produziert werden.

Hier sind auch die Adressen der zwei Optiker in XXX die unsere Brillen anbieten.

It turns out they're from the Italian company DeRigo. They also make sunglasses for Police (the brand, not the actual police. Nor Police, the band). I was a bit surprised, but I've been really happy with them.

Next, I (finally) found a couple of things today. Terrible pictures because A) my camera is broken, B) it's nothing so special that you need high quality pictures and C) I'm a bit lazy.

A pair of Tod's loafers, size 12. I haven't cleaned them up yet, but they're in decent shape. I've had good luck moving Tod's on eBay.


Unknown pocket square. Silk and made in England.



Lacoste pullover in a size 7 (big). Nothing exciting.


I left an orphaned Corneliani suit jacket in black. I could probably resell it, but I have one sitting around waiting to go on eBay and I'm holding my breath on it. I may swing by tomorrow and pick the other one up as well.

Now, if the furniture people on here see this, I'd like your opinion. In fact, I'll take anyone's opinion. I found a leather chair and it supposedly dates from the '70s. I really like the chair as it has a smaller footprint. All I know about it is that it has a heavy chrome base and no manufacturer's sticker. We're moving to a different apartment in December/January, so our current monstrous chair will need to go. I've never been in love with it anyway, so I'm not too sad about that. However, would something like this go in a living room? Is it more of an office chair?

If it were brown, I would already own it. If it had a footrest, I'd already own it. However, my wife turned her nose up at it. Great condition on the leather, a few small tears on the corners due to moving it, I believe. It was €59....what do you guys think??

So I'm going to be in NYC (mainly LES and Midtown) next weekend - what thrift shops does everyone recommend? I found that there are a bunch near Union Square where I'll be staying.

It was actually $7. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I passed on lots of deals to the members here, even went red a few times. I edited my post and took out the price.

Oxxford 100% Camel Hair - Tan Sport Coat 40R, very recent

NWT Facconable khaki pants, not Incotex, but similar styling 36W - paid a little more than normal because NWT

Hiltl cords 36W, great quality pants

 

left behind:

Canali Proposta Suit (dated, unvented, double/triple pleated trousers, $25)

3x "Burberry's" Suits ($65 each)

Canali tweed-ish sport coat (unvented, $10) - maybe should have taken a shot

Bills M2P (size 44 and weighed like 3 lbs, not worth the flip)

Charleston Khakis (size 50, could have fit myself twice in there!)

Hiltl pops up here every once in awhile and I have to say they're high quality. I have a couple of pairs of pants by Hiltl that I bought retail and they're pricey. I'm not sure how they do as far as resale, but it's not something I'd leave behind if they fit.

I'll pass that sentiment along to my wife! Does it work in a living room or should it be confined to an office space? The arms are what throw me...the closed off armrests make it feel like a lounge chair.
