It's almost like carhartt material. Very heavy and durable. Yes China.

These 2 pics were proxyd to me and the in person buyer cannot remember the brand. They said all they know is made in Italy genuine croc stamped on bottom and tagged an 11M.

These may be by Zelli. Not sure about resale, by they are high end if they are.

Edit: I see Mainy beat me to it.

I am surprised how many decent things i find here in Australia. Never any decent shoes though. These have been in the last two weeks or so. I find it almost impossible to find things that fit perfectly. I run into some very nice pieces and generally just flip them.

Awesome, My first Brioni find, Pity its far too big, i thought i'd cop incase anyone was interested 46 R - Available.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Hard to capture with my iPhone and Crap lighting but this is about a dark Charcoal. I can't figure out if they are very faint red/pink/light purple strips, but its only up close that you discern them.

A wool and silk Zegna / Raffaele Caruso only slightly too big for me, i thought it might work, but not to be. 52 R (Euro) - Available

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

This first image give a good indication of the color, rich dark navy, including the faint light and mid blue stripes. Full working cuffs too! the buttons are all different patterns, could be horn??

Of course, the very next coat was it's colleague. Another Zegna / Raffaele Caruso piece. This one is 100% wool. And a very dark navy. 52 R (Euro) - Available.

The first image shows the color very well. Full working cuffs. Not sure about the buttons but they are all different and could very well be horn or similar.

And finally, Bespoke Savile Row, Herringbone Tweed. Unfortunately for me, totally available

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

This is crazy, the attention to detail is amazing. These photos don't do it any justice. It is unfortunately far too large for me, so - Available. Some quick measurements are 18.5" from top of should across the back to top of shoulder. 34" from top of collar running down the back to bottom of jacket. 25" from top of of should to bottom of sleeve.

NICE. Are they orphans or suits?

Happy New Year all!!

Made an attempt today to hit Dillard's early to grab a couple pairs of Nike Free's at discount, and it was insane with women snatching up purses. No good frees at my location. I also made a point to check for DC by Isaia suits there with no luck.

Also not many thrifts here were open. Did find this though.

Paul & Shark Large Button microfiber windbreaker. They also had a plain shirt in a medium but every button on it was cracked to bits and would have needed replacing. Can go back and proxy for someone if they want it.

Thanks

Ties from TJMaxx. First time i have been in one that had stuff nicer than USPolo Association and Donald Trump. All the other stuff was thrifted. Lots more to come. Just showed the highlights on the ride back into town because I was so excited to see so many firsts.

Got a bunch of BB, Oxxford, HF, Orvis stuff too.

I think I just went out with over-inflated hopes of Kiton, Attolini and obscure high-end SW&D stuff falling out of the sky.

Few other things I found:

The wife found a couple things too (and some random dresses and jackets that are in the dry-cleaning pile).
