Suede penny loafers, size 11 B/D, I think. (There is also a series of numbers with a 14 set aside at the end. They look closer to an 11 than a 14).
Soles, uppers in great shape. A little wear on the black heel application most good shoes seem to have....

AVAILABLE FOR DOLLARS OR MAYBE TRADE Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) THEORY JACKET
So dericious, so sweet.... Invisible pocket snaps, awesome diagonal hem. Layers and layers of an uber-soft but resiliant cotton, deep black. Blacked-out double zipper, so it can be worn a few different ways. Retailed for ~ $500
Tagged XXL, in typical Theory fashion, it fits more like a Large. It's mostly just long, so I'm on the fence about keeping it. Fit pic data below: OH NOES (Click to show)

If so you might want to check one out, somebody just pointed out in the Random Fashion Thoughts thread that they have some really nice Maison Martin Margiela stuff on their website for reasonable prices. I'm sure plenty of us would appreciate a proxy for some side-zip boots

Presuming no flaws, you should go back and get those parkas now--if they are still there.

But wait, what's this?


But what's the price?


I seriously almost shat myself in the middle of the store. The bad part is that they are about one size too big. And the condition is not great: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Not sure what I'm going to do with them, so hold off on any PMs for the moment. Just wanted to share my victory with those similarly situated. Persistence pays off.

It's all been posted here before, but these were the big three: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) I got the roadster for $79, the turtleneck for $79 and the button-down for $59, IIRC. Sweaters were 100% cashmere, shirt was like 85/15 I think.

I am jealous - I want to find me some Lobbs.....
Only place I ever found Lobbs was a GW in Little Rock AR, .
Good finding though ACE, awesome
