In amazing condition considering its age.

is right! That's so awesome! Did you buy it? I wonder what is the oldest piece anyone has ever found on this thread.

Nah, not sure why I didn't. Oh yeah, the closet full I need to unload. It's been there a few weeks already I think. Inevitably, if I go look for it tomorrow, it'll be gone.

On that note, any of my local homies going to the grand re-opening of that place near me later today?

Also, went to NM last call today and spent $100 I didn't have. When I heard about the stacking discounts I was like

I found these Corneliani ID chukka boots yesterday;

Do you guys have any idea who makes these for Corneliani?

Wow that is ancient! I have a Ratner SC from the 1960's. It has mini black and white checks which look like mini hounds tooth from afar. Pretty bad ass!

Oh man, I've got to see this! Pics!!!

I've got a 1933 green velvet WPA- tagged Brooks Brothers smoking jacket, tagged 46 R but fits like a 44.  Thing is sick and hand worked.  Picked it up at SA for 4.99 last year.

Not worth much on eBay - most seem to retail for about 70$, however, but I collect really ancient stuff (like shirts by Brooks Brothers, Hathaway, et al. with MOP buttons as standard) because the details of the construction are so interesting.  The minute you get into superfine/thin fabrics, MOP buttons and stitching denser than you've seen its an much older piece dating from the 40's or before.
