calling you little guys...

coolest T-shirt I've ever seen. Small Vintage Fit Tommy Bahama "Beer Run" T. Not thrift prices, but decently priced at Marshalls.

Available for a "nice" thrifted tie or shirt.

With winter on the way I'm searching for a cardigan. I found this on ebay and it's killing me that it's way too big for me.
It's a WIllis & Geiger shawl collar cardigan but with a lining. Maybe that makes it a jacket now? P2P it's 26"! At that size I could wear a tweed under it.
Anyway, maybe someone here's interested. (I have no affiliation with the seller).

Both a brag and a status report.

Today scored my first-ever Corneliani, a pair of trousers. Also a wool coat by Mackintosh (made in USA, straight from New England) and two what appear to be never tied tartan ties by Edinburgh Woolen Mills of Scotland, one in Royal Stewart, the other a blue pattern I have not before encountered. Out the door for less than $10.

Could take photos, but not the point--most of us see this sort of thing on a fairly regular basis. It is noteworthy because today was the grand opening of the new GW boutique shop, right next door to a regular mainline store where I made these finds. Prices at the boutique start at $9.99. They had nada, unless you like stuff from JAB or American Eagle or Lauren.

I had been worried that the boutique spelled the end of bargains from GW, which has always had fixed pricing at $3 per shirt, $5 per sport coat, $7 for suits, $3 for shoes and $6 or $8 for outer coats, depending on length. My worries multiplied because the impending opening coincided with a long dry spell. Turns out the dry spell and the opening of the boutique was, apparently, mere coincidence.

+1000000000000, I rarely if ever find stuff in my size, by far, the nicest pieces in my closet have come from trades with other members on this forum. That and using ebay money for the really tough to find items, like wingtip boots. shog[1].gif Also, in some cases, world-wide. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

One of the boutiques here have a women's MacKintosh trench for 34.99. No half off for boutique items. it seems you got yours for a few bucks. So cherish.

Here's the link to the ebay us auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willis-Geiger-Shawl-Collar-Nep-Yarn-Wool-Cardigan-Sweater-Coat-Jacket-Brown-L-/330808857930?pt=US_CSA_MC_Sweaters&hash=item4d05be954a

That thing is going to go for serious money, btw. W&G anything is like crack, and that's an awesome and relatively rare item from W&G.

It's about my size, too... :cries:

Swung back to the goodwill to pick up the Hermes and Brioni I left behind yesterday. Happened upon another Hermes I must have not noticed, currently unavailable


Then found these, brand new for sure, size 10, better pictures to follow, pm me if you're interested...

If you're looking for one, I have a MacKintosh trench (the made in Scotland kind) in my bag of stuff to save for cold weather... I think it was an L, but it's been months since I looked.

W&G is a defunct brand that made top-end outfitter gear. Their bush poplin safari jackets sell for $200+ on eBay easily and even the shirts sell for $50+.

About a 34 waist, 33 or 34 inseam. I'll post some pics and measurements later. The Purple Label cords were older and pleated.

There are a couple of goodwills in my area that are charging $75 for Stafford suits. Ridiculous. You can still find good deals on ties, or really high end stuff that they've never heard of, although nothing is cheap. Doesn't matter what brand it is, you aren't getting a SC for anywhere near $10.
