Passed lots of other stuff, too, EZ etc. Also passed an Alden loafer, was resoled and Alden does not touch if they were fixed by someone else. 20 bucks. 3 stores, nothing that fits.
I will change my archaic blackberry, then will start tagging these. Sort of catch and release fishing.

Any chance if you wing back by where the Barbera is you can take any pics or maybe proxy it? :)  What type of fabric pattern?

Yeah I found a pretty nice leather handbag with this label that surprised me.

+1  As has been said, a simpler pocket square may work, but personally am a fan of how all the patterns tie together using the browns.

Ha, I like that idea.

Some recent pants finds:

Zanella for Saks flat-front cotton dress pants (size 32, measure 32 x 31, available):

Issey Miyake Men pants (size 3/measure 33 x 33, available):

Polo Ralph Lauren navy silk-cotton blend (56/44) flat-front side adjuster pants (size 32 x 30, available):

Ermenegildo Zegna corduroy pants (size 34, measure roughly 33.5 x 34, available):

RRL military workpants (measure roughly 30.5 x 30.5, roomy cut, available):

My favorite find was this very unspectacular pair of pants:

First, though, I have to apologize to the person for whom I was their secret Santa.
Dude, I am SO not on the level of most everyone else here and nowhere near what just happened to me this morning!
It's just not fair to you. May you have a much better Secret Santa next year!
So...I went to the Post Office to check my PO Box delivery that wouldn't fit. This label was on the box. (Click to show)

After the Earth stopped moving, the contact high from the black marker knocked my a$$ back in the car seat! (Click to show)

. Feelsh niische! (Click to show)

And it fits better than it looks in this awkward pose.


Anybody familiar with these labels? (Click to show)

It takes a LOT to impress Reese.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! (Click to show)

It feels hefty. I'll go by whatever you guys say.
Open it now or don't open until Christmas?

Thanks, Secret Santa!

 

The suspense is burning everyone in this thread..Celebrate Hanukkah this year and open tonight :D
