$20. Coat feels like a 42R, and it is a 3roll2. Pants are 32 waist or so. inseam is like 32 or 33. Be willing to make it available for a suit in my size (and I will be picky- regular posters only). If not, I’ll fleabay it and use the proceeds for a pair of new Aldens.

Tie back thing came undone so it had to be goodwilled. Whut!?

 

 

 

 

Dont want to steal Shiny's thunder with his Thom Browne score...but im sure you guys would appreciate seeing some Dior Homme and not the usual Christian Dior licensed garbage that sometimes plagues this forum.

 

HIDDEN FUNCTIONAL CUFFS...

 

 

GW PRICE TAG....For the Non-Believers....

 

This thing has...

 

On-Seam Waist Pockets in addition to the normal ones, not sure if they are flap pocket ones though, the rest of the pockets are still sewn shut

 

Open Front

 

Floating Canvas Construction

 

Single Vented

 

Fully Lined

 

Satin Under Collar/Lapels

 

Button Holes on both lapels so you could move that militant key loop/button thing to the other side if you want

 

Made in Italy

 

SS/2012

 

Just needs a good pressing!

 

Best part of all?...Fits me almost perfectly!

 

 

This incredible SC was going to end up as some person's costume and tossed afterwards.  No content tag, but it definitely feels like part cashmere....wild.

Also found an otherwise unremarkable Harris Tweed blazer in the mix, but it fits me and has a funky lining so I picked it up.

 

Outside of the "costume" racks were these other gems.

 

BB 1818 Madison SC 42R wool houndstooth...needs a dryclean to remove a couple food spots (?) but is otherwise in amazing shape.

ATTN: Nataku.

 

Sicknasty Feathered Friends down fill parka with button-on hood.  SMALL, can't believe I found one that fits....

 

Edit, for those who haven't heard of this brand, it's the Volant midweight jacket shown here:  http://www.featheredfriends.com/Picasso/Garments/Mid/VolantJacket.html

Aanndd....eBay fodder.  Willis & Geiger short sleeve (??) cotton sweater.  MUSA.

 

 

DAT DIOR.  GO AHEAD, BRUSH YA SHOULDERS OFF.

 

 

Just kidding.  That's a ridiculous find man.

 

 

 

also can I get some feedback on the fit of this tweed blazer? it is a hand me down and I think it might be too short but it is cool and has patch pockets and is double vented

Ferragamo (left) 9D

Pink, Pink (saw "14" and thought Brianpore! but I should have thought again: WOMEN's 14), Filson (taken), RRL (taken)
BB tie (not avail), CT tie, Coach square (not avail)
Outerwear:

Is this Barbour? XL, Made in England. Cuffs are a bit scuffed, but otherwise in great shape

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Trousers:

x 2, 32 x 30ish, beige and gray wool.
What's that you say? You'd prefer something higher end? OK

RLPL, 32 x 30ish
Suits & SC's:
What's that you say? You want something trad/sack? OK.

JPress solid gray, JPress green cord, Vtg BBGF, Vtg BBGF
Slimmer profile? Done.

Paul Stuart x3, 2 of which are Samuelsohn and the other is made in USA; plus BB1818
More USA made top notch quality?

How's old-school, well-made PRL blue label sound to you? Because I got 2. Left one has ticket pocket and double vent, is my size and is NOT available. Right side is dual vent and double breasted.
Not impressed? OK, how about this?

Zegna su misura, 15 mil mil. JUST a hair too big for me.
Speaking of the Italians:

Fabio Inghirami (anyone recognize this label? Looked familiar); Saks House brand Made in Canada, 100% Loro Piana cashmere; HF black 100% cashmere

What's that you say? How could I end on such a low note? Maybe you'd prefer something higher end? OK

Barbera Sartoriale. NOT available; my size And then there's the bad... (Click to show) Bitch of it is: I ran out of time. I left so many orphans and reverse orphans! BB1818, RLBL, Stuart... The orphans I did take were all half price; the others were full price. Once I learned from the floor staff that they gather up last week's 1/2 price stuff and toss it, I had to grab the orphans. Ima go back tomorrow and see if I can find the remaining mates, and will also hit another local GW to see if they got split on distribution.
What a day.

 

lol, just kidding, didn't grab the Diors, but I did pick up the YSL lol..
I saw a lot of "decent" stuff today, but didn't pick up any. The store I was at priced there things way above thrifts, even higher than the consignments. Anyway here's the highlights.

For muthafuckin' David Murdock. If it wasn't a single button cord blazer, I probably would have grabbed it.

Check out this ancient Brooks Brothers. I think it's from the 20's. I may go grab that, since it's still in bomb condition. Actually, I saw a lot of bespoke things from the 20's. I'm honestly surprised at the condition most of the stuff was. Old timers sure knew how to make some good, quality clothing.

And then, there was this bad boy. This I had to pick up.

GODDAMN there have been some insane things found recently. Didn't have much time this past week to go out, but found a few cool items anyhow.
PRL tweed for myself. Found this in a hopelessly unorganized Marshalls, that usually loses tags on marked down items and then re-tags them with their original marked price, causing me to wait 6 months to a year for some items to finally be marked down to something reasonable. Well, this time it worked in my favor because they mistakenly marked this down to $40.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Don't normally pick up Mani, but it was trim and the pattern was good. Will probably never wear it.

This was timely. Was literally just about to buy a Gloverall or similar off eBay, then I found this. I can find nothing about George Key on the interweb. Seems to be good quality: real horn buttons, real leather, made in England. Cool blackwatch lining.

(probably another worthless piece, but at these prices who can pass?)
