I never got an answer as to who makes these, but if anyone is interested they're available. 34w 30.5 inseam, with about an inch to lengthen. Let me know, thanks.

I have Loro Piana branded cords, found in a GW, and these are totally dissimilar, more like the Incotex pants I've found. The thrift normally has LL Bean at the high end, but last week I found a beautiful Etro paisley tie for $1, so I kept looking, and now this.

Any help identifying them?



Only real label:

Hem folded back:


Pocket has an inspection sticker, any clue?


Split waistband



Flat front, coin pocket

Being from pa, I naturally assume they are some sort of Amish brand. Not sure why they would say France though. Should I kop? $2 a piece seems kinda high.

Hopefully these will help pay for my wife's 2 day Christmas shopping spree....

The Welsh & Jefferies was a double breasted. The Plews an orphaned dinner jacket. Both moth bitten beyond repair. Very sad.

The only saving grace at the store where I saw the trashed Saville Row items was the Banana Republic I am looking for. Unlined cotton duster in excellent condition save some wear to the leather on the belt buckle. It is XS, Brian.

That original label "Mill Valley, California" tagged Banana Republic is the duster you're looking for. As you probably know, when The Gap (before it was just "Gap") took over and then later sacked travel journalists Mel & Patricia Ziegler (Banana's founders), the whole safari and travel ethos was chucked, sadly. If you've not seen it, here's a great site called "Abandoned Republic" that celebrates the early years, incredibly well-written catalogs, etc.: Abandoned Republic LINK

You'll make some money selling as-is for resole, but I don't think it'd be worth it to have them resoled before selling.

Sargent and Cheaney also made for Polo.

Sick. I love finding ties, maybe because they're a one size fits all kinda deal and I know I always have the option of keeping them.

Thanks, but I am pretty sure it's not a grenadine...

Don't think it's a grenadine. It's a navy / black weave.
