Would take the $10 pair every time as well....I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to pay retail again for shoes or clothes......

Thanks!- May check back and see if it makes it to 1/2 price day...then it may be worth it, but probably not otherwise....

This is pretty far past what I would normally wear color wise

 

 

 

Hickey Freeman SC, super low outlet price last month $44 (was $895)

Nordstrom button down (thrifted)

DKNY tie (thrifted)

Hickey Freeman flat front gray slacks, same sale $27 (were $250)

AE Grayson's (free from AE for buying a dozen pairs, over a long time)

 

Not a fan of the low contrast between shirt, jacket and pants... Maybe light shirt and charcoal or navy pants?

Fit of the jacket and trousers is very good, though.

Thanks, it's one of those outfits you piece together as your getting dressed:

1: Wear HF gray slacks. Have black made in Italy belt (thrifted) 

2: Feeling kinda casual, Nordstrom button down works with the slacks.

3. Maybe I should wear a SC, HF works, don't want three similiar patterns, rust tone is nice in SC.

4. Should probably wear a tie, but DKNY only tie that's solid(er) patterned, what the hell.

5. Black belt, black AE Grayson's

Off to work I go.

6. Post on SF, is this outfit out of whack?

Again, appreciate the feedback, see above....

Did pick up a couple of things earlier, couple of firsts:

SHORT SLEEVE Zanella shirt, content tag faded out. Stiffer feeling fabric, probably silk, MOP buttons, true medium:

Traflgar, gotta have some Christmas braces, I don't wear them, available cost plus shipping (about a six pack)

Not earthshattering, but thought ths was a pretty cool vintage BB sweater vest

FTFY...Nice, nice.

Hadn't posted this one, picked up in middle of summer:

L.L. Bean, (don't normally use NWOT, but this has got to be NWOT) corduroy current model blazer ($159 retail)  40 Tall Available

(http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/70827?feat=corduroy-SR1&page=flannel-lined-blazer-corduroy)

Some recent finds:

Levi's made in USA (not available):

Helmut Lang Jeans (probably not available):

Rag & Bone Black Chinos (size 34, available--the button on the right rear pocket came off, but too nice to leave behind):

Faconnable cable-knit 100% cashmere sweater (size large, available):

PRL cable-knit 100% cashmere sweater (size XL, available):

The sweaters definitely made my trip, ridiculously soft cashmere, but sadly not my size.

Like these a lot. Well thrifted!

Thanks, I hadn't heard about that, but I don't want to risk messing up the sweaters (plus, I need quite a bit more than just one size down).

Speaking of sweaters, I just got this John Molloy cardigan from an AAAC member ballmouse. I assume it's all hand knit, but I really don't know. Regardless, it's awesome, and he gave me a great price.
