Picked up 2 Oxxford suits today. (Both available)

Jacket sz. 40S   trousers 35 X 28  flat front, no cuffs

Jacket sz. 39S   trousers 35 X 28  flat front, no cuffs

That's really cool, I've never seen a vintage Talbott seven-fold before.  I've only seen the unlined, untipped kind.

Great tie. One of the few brands that I have never seen in the wild. NWT as well! Enjoy!

 

HOly crap!!!

 

 

PM sent. Fingers crossed!

 

You mean "Ebay well!"

Awesome! Yeah, I've never had anyone be a prick to me. Most they did is just not respond. You might have gotten a good contact now.

Yeah, same one. The manager who was doing this did get fired thought but got replaced by some troll who seems to really be into designer clothing. We were better off with the old one.

+1. I've been telling him that for the past couple years now.


Today was completely

First T&A tailored piece. Recent and made by Chester Barrie. D/B, 6/2 button. Side vented. Navy with red and silver pinstripes. No pants. Turned the store upside down looking for them. Nothing. The guy donated some other stuff too. Two decent pairs of Bergdorf Goodman house label trousers and a recent Bullock & Jones blue/white stripe linen shirt.





Mint Oxxford gun club check sportcoat. 23 years old and showed it. Fish mouth lapels, low gorge and super low button stance. No vent.

Nudie coated gray Average Joe jeans. Looked like someone attempted to feed them through a wood chipper.

Finished an exam and decided to try a set of stores I'd never gone too before. Paid off pretty well, plus a bunch of near misses. Left a really ugly (if good condition) Canali shirt, some very nice grey herringbone PRL slacks (too small for me, probably should've grabbed to flip/trade tho), and a gorgeous wedding-check Sulka tie that was just annihilated beyond repair. Should've left this behind too (stain on the collar, plus one under the arm not pictured I just noticed), but in the immortal words of Macklemore... "Shit, it was 99 cents!"

Stained (Click to show)
Also grabbed a nice cocktail mixer for $2.



But today was mostly about the ties. Right to left (sorry, SF flipped the pic) is Mariano Rubinacci (2x, first time in wild for me), Robert Talbott, Fendi, PRL, Zegna. All available (although I do really like the first MR and the PRL).


Close-ups (Click to show)
I know it's discussed all the time, but could someone familiar with it either PM or link me "The Method"? If I can get the stain outta this Pink, hey free money. I also confirmed to myself today that J Crew and LL Bean make perfectly respectable ties. Didn't buy any, but between a GW and a SA saw enough very nice, feels good in your hand ties between the two, could've started someone a respectable work lineup for practically nothing.

^^ Blood on both cuffs? WTF, was the owner part of Fight Club?

That is quite true.  I used to be into photography before twin boys entered my life a year and a half ago.  Don't have any time for that hobby anymore and ended up selling it all.  Had a Nikon D3, Nikon 400mm 2.8 (that lens was a beast) among other great lenses.   I sold all of that expensive gear as i didn't have time for it anymore.

 

I have since gotten really lazy with my photography and mostly just use a Sony Rx100 and also have a Olympus E-M5 m4/3 which is a great camera and very lightweight. 

 

Anyway for those of you looking to get great used lenses, fredmiranda is a great site to buy and sell used camera gear.  glass holds its value very well and is usually a smart buy. Camera bodies depreciate like crazy though.

 

Here are a couple of my shots:
