Realized it had been a day since I'd hit the shop, and decided to check out my "home base" gw. Slow day of thrifting netted me:

Rag and Bone shirt (a first for me) and these... Da fuq?

 

A little research on Chepstow shoes made in England tells me these are C&J's, another first. I think they'll clean up nicely, vibram commando soles aren't that worn.

 

 

Then I get a call from the darkest of all matter. "Have to show you something" he says. We meet up and well...

This is me, all 6'2 285 lbs of me to be exact, doing my best Gitmo detainee with a hood over my head impression, but we'll get back to why this jacket is so big in a minute.

We hit a shop. I find

Lord of Pianos. Soft as anything. Time to go.

 

Last stop of the night yields me a little bit (at higher than thrift prices, but still reasonable) starting with

I guess I haven't cleaned that mirror in our guest room, um, ever. Apologies.

The pattern is exactly what I was looking for -- none of the red/yellow accents or anything like that.

 

 

 

 

Sorry bro, I think the jacket is a bit too large and too long. Shorten sleeves, the overall lengths. It has a boxy look to me. Needs a bit slimming.

Burberry cotton raincoat

Corneliani cc collection, much darker irl. Orphan?

PS paul smith linen sc^^

Z Zegna cotton sc

Tod's loafers and Bally brouges^^

100% cashmere Rodex navy overcoat. Fits perfect except short sleeves, I might try and fix them myself, Has anyone tried? Is it hard? How much does it cost at the tailor?

Does anyone know which brand has this logo? I tried on a sc with all labels removed except a small square one in a pocket, which looked like this

Gray Stripe in my size (keeping):


Gray Stripe, nice high gorge, flat front, could probably wear, but might end up selling:


2 days after finding the zegna cashmere that was too big, I find this in a wonderful blue (pics don't do it justice, keeping):




And finally I found this - dated 1963. Fish mouth lapels like a mofo but still neat:

 

Goddamn!!!! Those Zegnas are super recent, too!!!!!!!

Too late! Not to say you are not likeable but they are too many assholes on here to for everyone to like you!

Wow fellas, some really nice finds lately, especially suited's Zegna haul, Mainy's brioni, and Noob's rlpl.

I haven't had time to follow this thread in the last couple months, and have barely had opportunities to hit thrifts.  I graduated college and started my full-time job, so I've been really busy.  Problem is, I'm still in desperate need of some work wardrobe staples.  I've been checking eBay for this stuff, but haven't had much luck.  I figured I would post my ad here, so here's what I'm looking for.

- Solid charcoal and solid navy suit (no patterns) - size 40-42 R/L (ideally a 41L, but I don't mind tailoring).  I really would like something recent with high lapels and side-vents, and I'm looking for brands like Canali or better.  I'm willing to pay a fair price, even if its a few hundred bucks.

- Solid white shirts in size 16", 34-36" that are relatively recent with spread collars

- Solid dark brown cap-toes in size 10.5-11 (either perforated cap-toes or plain toes, but not wingtips).  

I'll pay fair prices if you have what I'm looking for.  Thanks, and keep up the insane hauls!

Ok guys, still need some help with this Corneliani coat, I need to win the argument with the wife.  I think its a topcoat, she thinks its a sport coat or orphan.  It is wool and has a very outerwear feel to it that probably doesn't come thru in the pics. It's also unvented which also leads me to believe outerwear. Here's some thrift fit pics, can anyone help?
