Any good sources for IDing the shoes? The AEs are model #8873 (they even have a sticker inside from a local country club).

I used this to locate my horsebit Ferragamos that, coincidentally, I was wearing today!

Salvatore Ferragamo Mens Shoe Archive

 Thanks! That's why I like this place... 

I think I finally have some finds worthy of the "Thrift Awards"! 

AVAILABLE

My first skeet blanket in a while.  Probably not hideous enough.

NOT AVAILABLE

And this came today!  Are we opening these yet?

Went by a couple stores this evening and picked up a nice dark blue Pendleton tweed sports coat. Oh, and also picked up an Avirex B-3 bomber jacket, 44R, dated 1986. To paraphrase Robert Diniro as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver: "The Avirex B-3 is a monster". I'm going to be pissed as hell if we have a mild winter. There's a fair chance it'll end up on eBay eventually but I gotta wear it for at least one full day.

Here's some stuff I found but left. If anyone has any interest, PM me and I'll proxy if the items are still there tomorrow.

Burberry London sports coat, model "Kensington", 48R

Orphaned 3B houndstooth 42L jacket, Loro Piana super 110. Damage to one sleeve lining.  No other labels but the tag says "Model: Garrick".

Pal Zileri, 3B 46R.  Didn't care for the fabric (wife hated it too) and the lining was a two-tone iridescent tonic that gave me bad memories of the 80s. YMMV.

Hickey Freeman camelhair, 44L.

Pea Coat with gold USMC buttons, tagged 40S.

Can't guarantee they'll be there tomorrow but happy to look, send more info, and proxy.
