This right here is a man who knows a thing or two about women.

Do you have any idea how dangerous it is going to be to say "I thought this looked about your size" without the protection of a size tag?

those POW ties will move quick, for sure. probably most of the reps, too.
case in point, i had to just stop myself from PM'ing you, despite my ego screaming at me for the brown POW ( :inlove: )

Taking the afternoon off so I stopped on my way home. Found some ties (available):






Orvis wool, feels and looks like blue / green tweed
Zegna
Zegna
Egyptian themed Brioni

Found a very good condition staple gray HF Boardroom suit (available)







But by far the best was this brown POW button down Pendleton shirt with a red overcheck, 100% wool... Feels NWOT and I LOVE the fabric and pattern. Made in Mexico but the quality is there. Unfortunately a size XL instead of a Medium, so available.

Had a big disappointment today found a Brioni sc (43), but after close inspection at home found a few small holes in the sleeve.


BB Loro Piani Suit - 41R - The pants were destroyed but figured this might work as a sc.


Versace, Faconnable, Talbott Carmel NWT, Etro (bright blue color is actually bright purple), BB, Armani


Altea (Silk & Flax), Zegna, Ike Behar, Armani (Silk & Wool)

I've found some really nice shirts in great patterns this week but none in my size. They all look and feel virtually new. Let me know if anyone wants to buy (or trade if a small/36) or else I'll probably just consign them.

Canali 40. I'm way too small for their cut.



Two Zegnas: a Large (with a hidden button down collar) and a 43

(Is this their current label?)



Lastly, a John Varvatos XL in a cotton/nylon blend.



Passed on two more button downs: a brown Corneliani and a green Burberry London from the same donor as the Canali. I couldn't figure out the spoiler for the life of me, so sorry for taking up so much room. Happy thrifting!

Holes tiny, you could get them reweaved for a low cost. Not a bad score and the green - black houndstooth pattern is a classic sport coat staple. I know a couple of guys here in the 42 - 44 size that may want to punt at it.

I found a totally authentic 70's vintage Bucherer 21-jewel raised crystal silver base/platinum plated automatic watch for $10 in a thrift store on Ohio Blvd in Pittsburgh, PA. Have I won the entire thread as it pertains to watches?
