The buttons seem to be on the wrong side.

I usually don't pick up older Southwick, but this was a mint condition solid navy flannel. 3 roll 2. Center vent and flat front pants. 44 R/L icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Mint Southern Tide polo.

And then these. Didn't know Footjoy made alligaor/croc shoes.

All I've seen from their recent offerings are cheapie golf shoes. Boy did they go down hill....

Diesel is good IMHO, although probably not at $30.00 cost. Find jeans, shirts and jackets, know how to authenticate them and get for $5-6 and you got good flippable stuff.

The level of tumescence before clicking the first spoiler was significantly greater than after.

Anyway, about the FJs, I thought they started as a shoe maker and of fairly decent repute. No?

GODDAMN!

I say GODDAMN! partially because that's incredible, but also partly because it almost totally blows my only thrift find of today out of the water.

Schott Perfecto leather... the Ramones jacket.

Thinks it might be a little small for me?

But luckily, there are about over 2 inches of fabric in the sleeves left to work with. I'm gonna see if my tailor can shorten it from the sleeves...If not, I might just pay her to shorten the sleeves from the shoulders...

Or you could sell it to me...

Shit... I hadn't even looked at eBay completed listings yet. It is a bit too small for me, isn't it? Yeah, I'm starting to think it might definitely be too small. Yeah, totally probably. Sure.
