Nice finds, but is that an orphan? Is it patterned enough to be worn as a SC?.

Most likely Orphan... Never found matching trousers though. Also, the only jacket I've ever seen marked as "1 piece" at this thrift store.

I'm about to go pick up some thrifted items from my tailor including a pair of Incotex and a PRL Corneliani hacking jacket. Even though focusing my time/money on getting things tailored isn't as fun as digging through racks of used clothing, it's still a real treat to be able to wear a fine piece of clothing that fits perfectly for the first time. nod[1].gif

Personally, I find it almost as exciting as finding the item itself. I get that same rush of aesthetic pleasure and whirl of possibilities thinking of pairings. Then I pay the bill, and I'm cloud.gif

Nice, if it was listed around Christmas time it would have gone for 5x the current price. Sellers forget to do seasonal pricing this should have been a BIN /BO. Great deal.

Looks like Parteopenoa.

And to those that have bought stuff from me, I haven't been able to ship for three reasons.

On that note, thrift fit, same shit as before but with my new (to me) PRL by Corneliani hacking jacket.

I had it taken in a bit on the sides to give it a more fitted look. Zero padding in the shoulders, undarted with a ticket pocket, suede elbow patches, leather buttons and dual exhaust, herringbone tweed with a red windowpane. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Also, does anyone know this Gant label?

Contrary to some on here the Gant above is a decent find depending on what you pay for it $4-7 is good.  I think that model has shell buttons, likely 70's, USA made.  Comfy too. Lots better than the new stuff with the exception of the Bastian & Gant Ruggers.  I have the exact model on Ebay right now in fact.
