Going to clean it up before I take some pics, and I'm not sure if I am going to offer it up or not. Always handy to have a second set of sticks for things like shooting meteor showers, especially now that I have 2 cameras to shoot with. Plus I don't even want to know what it'd cost to ship.

Dayum.  That is pretty awesome. I've never seen any photo equipment like that before in a thrift store, nicely done!  In case you don't end up keeping it, hit me up!  Glad to get it off your hands...

Is this anything worth picking up? How does somewhat dated Boss do on Ebay?

Hermes 100% fake and not even close. Hermes lines run 11 to 5 diagonally, not 9 to 3 horizontally. The tie stay is also wrong.

Question to those at the forum. Are old Ermenegildo Zegna suits (super 120-150s) worth a flip on ebay?

Would you like us to search ebay for you?

HSM used to (or maybe still do) make Christian Dior licensed tailored clothing (outerwear, suits, and sportcoats).  I don't know how much CD was involved in the design if at all, I think they just lent out their name.

This coat had lots of pick stitching, a hook vent and an old union label, so it's definitely from back in the day. No fabric content listed, but feels like cashmere.
But back to my question: Anyone heard of CD-HSM getting together?

Sure...I'm not seeing any old (5-10 years old) zegna suits that actually have bids on them.

Damn, I wouldn't be able to spot a fake Hermes, I've never found anything of theirs ever here.

not a thrift brag but a discount brag... I took some spoo profit money and got some things that have been on my list, fairisle sweater, cutaway collar white shirt, tartan shirt, some boots other than my docs, the best part is though stacking a BUNCH of discounts I got the total price for all 4 to around 50 dollars which is sinfully expensive for thrift but when origionally they would have cost upwards of 300 how could I not especially when lands end is a good value anyway

dat cutaway

damn I just realized all these purchases look mad boring and heritage why doesn't lands end sell yoji?
