Not positive, but I think the hidden placket makes it a "Mac."

As an ex-bike racer, possibly future born again bike racer, I gotta say that thing is real legit. My favorite part is the American Classic skewers. Halfway thrift related, I used to get American Classic wheels on a team deal (the hubs were orig. built up with Velocity rims, the shallow ones), train or race on them for a month or two and sell them on eBay for near my cost.

Sorry for the spam , but I've been on the hunt on ebay trying to find some quality, good condition brown and/or black cap toes for at least month now to no avail.  I have many pairs of loafers, wingtips, split-toes, etc, but I've just never came across nice enough cap toes to place in my wardrobe.  I'm willing to pay, but I just can't find anything on ebay that I think is worth it (AE park avenues in semi-good condition have been going for $100+ lately), and finding nice shoes in thrifts around me is near impossible.  So I was wondering if anyone knows of some quality brands that tend to be undervalued on ebay.  I know several brands that are typically undervalued when it comes to dress shirts, suits, etc, but I can't think of any shoe brands.  Any advice?  

 

If anyone here is in the size 47-48R range I would snipe this in an instant http://www.ebay.com/itm/271077944226?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

^ Damn...about 6 months ago I would have fit in that Kiton. Almost a 42R now

Why you buy this?

 

... Because it was $7 all-in and fit perfectly. Tailor fit, 40 short is acceptable, yes?

 

But it's Banana Republic!

 

... I guess I'm a sucker for peak lapels. And it has a zippered cell phone pocket! Sweet, right??

 

IT'S BLACK corduroy!

 

.... well, at least it's only three years old.

 

Will you wear it?

 

.... 

 

I am also a sucker for peak lapels.

In light of the PRL shirt talks...


Fairly certain these are AS handgrades (at least the current Bristol is). For Lefcourt shoes on Madison Ave.

Audio guys - was I stupid to leave this behind? Price = $59.99 - 20% = 48 bucks plus tax

boring outside


interesting inside



the cabinent itself is really nice, all hardwood, old, guessing 60's, looks like somebody built it. has a single speaker cone in the base, but obviously the item of interest is the dynacorp pas-3 (?) preamp... is this worth going back for tomorrow morning? no idea if it worked or not

Thrift or another estate / closet liquidation?

also left behind multiple Tom James suits that were specifically tailored/made for Tom James .. strange ..

and several older Brooks Brothers 'Makers + Brooksease' / Southwick suits that were a bit older than I feel comfortable popping 16$ a go

I had a pair I resold that I was fairly certain were Cheaney with almost identical liner text. The current AS Bristol is a saddle shoe.
