Had a decent day, I think I finally popped my Issia cherry, besides a 7 fold I found last year.

So, here is what I found today, first up, charcoal Oxxford jacket, couldn't find the pants anywhere if there were even any. Dated 1989 but I figured it's worth more than the $3 I paid for it.

Orvis SC with leather trim and elbow patches, sz 46, available

Badass vintage red and blue hounds toothish SC from a local haberdasher. Around a size 40

Cotton and silk hand rolled pocket square

And this, a beautiful Gian Luca Napoli wool windowpane sc. I've never handeled this brand before, but all that I've seen posted say Issia under the Gian Luca tag, so is this Issia? Or is this a sport coat from just Gian Luca, with no ties to Issia. Ant help on this would be greatly appreciated. Size is marked 44R, available for trade.

^^^ Never mind, just answered my own question. Apparently this is Issia's diffusion line, a lot less handwork but still using quality cloth. Oh well, still a sweet jacket.

A 44 in EU sizes? So like a 34 US?

Nope, a US 44 I believe, it's big on me and I usually wear a 38. The drop says "R".

Some stuff I found today at lunch. I love this tie, even though I don't normally go for this type of print. Anyone ever heard of this maker?

Southwick olive suit. Tagged a 40R. Shoulders are too big for me though, most likely 19". Pants are pleated with a 1" cuff and a fuller cut. I'd say around a 34/30. Let me know if anyone wants me to proxy, $20 is the cost of the suit, plus the shipping. The fabric is very nice, and I found no blemishes on either the pants or the jacket.

New dudes: We welcome you here and enjoy seeing your brags. But when asking for label IDs, please note: There's a thread for this sort of thing. Brag here, cross-post your questions here:

And for the last time, please USE SPOILERS. (Not directed at anyone in particular; it's just been building up since I was trying to keep/catch up on the thread on the chair lift with, like, 1 bar of 3G, only to have to scroll past pages and pages of quoted pictures.)
