If they're calf, i'll have them resoled by a local guy and have some cool looking knockarounds with some character!

Yeah, I think so. The polo was offered in that era of AE, the catalog number then would have been 8284. Maybe you can get that info before they are sent.

They also marked a recent side-vented Canali SC at $30, and with a large moth hole in the chest! All shirts were $10 so I passed on non-staple Lorenzinis and my first Robert Graham, because it was a conservative polo.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Second place was more reasonably priced, but almost everything had issues: BB tweed in my size ruined by large stains; very nice navy pinstripe Oxxford...orphan; very recent navy Paul Stuart...orphan; vintage BB #1 sack suit in pinstripe charcoal flannel....trousers covered in mold (if anyone nearby wants to take a chance on cleaning these, because the suit was otherwise great, it's $20 in Ewing GW).

So did I get ANYTHING this weekend? Yes..these, and everything is available.

Polo RL (Made in USA) 100% linen, side-vented, 3/2 roll, ticket pocket. (39S)

Faconnable unstructured cotton navy jacket, 3/2 roll, single vent, XL

Harris Tweed gray herringbone (measures 40R)

Polo custom fit french blue striped dress shirt (16 34/35) and Zegna casual shirt (XXL)

And a Burberry women's dark green wool overcoat size 10.

Did they even offer the polo in calf? Seems like every pair I've seen pop up have been shell.

I do love that shoe though. I have a pair in the all black scheme, and I love 'em. Black and conservative without being as boring as a captoe.

Yeah, there is a burgundy with black saddle pair, an all brown pair and I think a black pair that are all made of calfskin.

Hard to believe that this was found in the burbs of Toronto as we didn't have JCrew until earlier this year.

HOLY FUCK. You will probably get at least $500 for that. Check out the last one that sold.
