Nice sweater finds Rebel! 

Mercedes E320?

I had the itch too, although I hate going out on the weekends, too fucking crowded. Anyhoo, picked up these sweet union made LL Bean Red Wing type work boots,


Been looking for one of these forever. Vintage BB made in the USA with the unlined collar in my size! Needs the treatment something fierce though. Should produce a nice collar roll, for you trad guys out there.

Also a blue label Ralph Lauren slim fit OCBD for the wife. Also passed on two of the most beautiful Tom James window-pane sport coats. They were absolutely stunning, working surgeon cuffs, Holland & Sherry fabric, both unvented.

 

 

Anyone got a wife/gf who wears a 5.5 shoe, or a kid who wears a size 4? Got a sweet pair of C&J Peals for BB Suede Loafers. 

 

CLS500

which good thing has a lot of torque to get this haul home

Yo, super-shoutout to DUBCBADASS for the CdG Mystery Shirt of Power -- it'll be great fun rocking this thing as an overshirt in a few weeks' time. (So many Grendel-'sploding fit pics in the works ). Dude's awesome, you should send him cool things.

Today:

In a tremendous stroke of fat:

Norman Hilton 42L SC from 2001. Single vent. Neat buttons.

Ferragamo loafers -- the more tasteful square-ish tipped kind, 13 D!!!

Four Peruvian Alpaca cardigans, XL. Huge MOPs. Mindboggling.

Large black cotton/cashmere tasteful Zegna nightclubby shirt of swagness.

And for me, an Eddie Bauer waffleknit sweatshirt thingie.

By withholding pics, I'm forcing your imaginations to grow. Someday you guys will thank me....

i got more butt than ashtrays

Ready for Spoo to blow us away with more horse butt in 3..2..1..

 

In the mean time, here's those Sutor Mantellassi's I spoke of earlier.

They cleaned up pretty well, save for a few small cuts near the toes. Everyone hear has a jar of Renovateur right? I feel like it should be in every thrifter's bag of tricks.

 

Think these are remotely serviceable? I think the toes might be shot... Might return them if so.

Conditioned and with fresh, too short laces.

Been slow lately. No content tag, but I'm pretty sure it's cashmere. Feels sooooo good.

320...... would have guessed S550 of I had to guess, but guess it's a CLS.

 

 

First ever tag sale (oh a whim, 1 block from my fav thrift store).....guy works for Brooks Brothers and was cleaning out his closet. Bummer that I got there at 1pm when "all the good stuff got sold in the morning". Still managed a recent BBGF blue blazer and a bunch (like 30) of shirts/pants.

Picked up a pair of pristine MMM grey trou today. Size 42(?) with the 4 circled on the label. I don't know what it means but you've got to be one skinny motherfkr to fit in these. I'd swear these were kids pants if I didn't know better.

They are women's pants. Lines 10 & 14 are menswear.

Shouldn't have any problems selling those: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160885579749

Nice! Never driven one but would love to try one.


A couple of things from today...

Ugly Z Zegna suit for eBay.

I picked this up thinking someone may want to make a trade. It's not a Barbour, but it is made in England by Henri Lloyd. Size L. I think the flash made the purple hue, I don't think it's actually on the jacket.

Can someone help me with this one? I've passed on a number of "Chester Barrie made for _______" pieces, but I grabbed this one. It's clearly RTW as there is no name in it, but it seems to be fully canvassed, made in England and with handsewn buttonholes. I'm interested in trading this one as well. Dual vents, EU 54 (I think).

Something for myself. The brand is nothing special but I liked the color/pattern. The leather buttons show no wear and I loved the chocolate suede elbow patches.
