Not really a clothing find but I picked this up a few years ago. :)

 

I replaced the grills and matted out the sides of the centerpiece.  It sounds GREAT. :)

Your Goodwill boutique has recentish Burburry sport coats for $25? I have seen more than a few here in the Portland boutiques priced at $90 or more, with suits being $150 and up. I am now beginning to believe that the Goodwills around here are losing touch with reality.

I saw a Calvin Klien suit yesterday for $75 at VV.

So is the consensus that I should've grabbed those 2 suckas? Thought about it, but couldn't bring myself to drop $50 without some certainty.

NWT Pendleton Navy Wool - 44L. The price tag looks rather old, although you can't tell by the lighting in the closeup on it. Also picked up a nice HF wool suit in what I think is a 42R, flat front/no cuff. Will post after measurements.

Speaking of retarded goodwill prices, this is what a local GW is charging, $29 bucks for some beat to shit ck creation, and $50-75 stafford suits are not uncommon:

Florsheim Royal Imperials - are these shell?  There's no numbering left, but they kind of look like it to me.  I've never actually found a pair before, but do have a pair from eBay, which they look like.

Anyone ever flip eyeglass frames? I know Persols and Ray Bans, etc are gold.

I've seen some women's Oliver Peoples prescription sunglasses hanging around at a regular stop. I like some of their stuff. IIRC the guy on Burn Notice had a nice pair in the early seasons.

It was awhile ago, but HandersHund, you should consider going to the South. Hit up Austin and NOLA, you could swing by Houston easily and from there Dallas or San Antonio if you wanted. I'd def do SA NOLA and Austin.

 

Oh yeah, I hit like 7 Stores in Little Rock, AR the past 2 days cause I was seeing my little brother, and all I go was this shitty t-shirt. BADASS sportcoat.

 

 

 

 

There are NO makers tags :( is there any possible way I could figure out who made this? Since no content, Im guessing that its a predominantly linen/silk blend. It may just be super baller linen. 42R
