Also, does anyone know this Gant label?
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

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. 

 Thanks, man. I thought it was on the older side (the collars are a bit big), but I really like it. I wore it to work yesterday for the second time (I actually found it in February last year). The only issue is that the sleeves are about 1/2" shorter than I'd like. Can't win 'em all, eh? IIRC, I paid $3. I don't think that store knew what they had.

Dual vented, 3/2 roll


I have honestly no clue how you guys ID by tags, so is this St Andrews or Attolini? I'm guessing the latter due to the styling?


tentatively NA - checking my dad's measurements

I like the older ones as well, even the regular oxford cloth ones. I keep the ones that fit me and Ebay the rest. Hey, anytime I can buy one for $3 and sell for $15-20 is ok in my book. Once I found an old Woolster Gant and the CEO of Gant, USA bought it from me off Ebay.  

people expressed intrested when I posted my first modern tailor shirt so I thought I would make a follow up post'

sleeves are finally long enough although I think I will shorten then by 1/4 of an inch, something is still sort of weird in the chest area I don't know if it is the yoke measurement the arm opening or the pit to pit but something is either too small or too large I should be able to get it right in the next couple shirts it is not that big of a deal

cool monogram....

now I have some choices to make...

also sorry to everyone who pm'd me about my shirt collection I have made the decision to send my high end shirts (along with the bulk of my nicer inventory) to spoo so spoo expect a few huge flat rate boxes full of isaia, canali, loro piana, lubiam, 7 folds ect. coming your way hopefully you won't have to send anything back this time 

Pretty sweet 46 Long Harris Tweed with elbow patches. No maker tag. Is this anything?

Sweeeet Vintage Palm Beach Bataya Weave blazer. 39 R.

40 R. I know someone wants to trade for this piece of awesomeness. Hit me up.

I passed on a Paul and Shark yachting double breasted navy blazer, made in Italy, that was missing a button.  Size XXL.  Was that a mistake?

Just a few things:

I only really want to brag about the first item but I ended up taken pictures of them all, so what the heck.

BB Seersucker Size 42-44s

Vintage Gitman Bros. Shirt Size 16.5-Don't usually pick these up, but it had really cool buttons

Bill's Khakis 36x28 1.5cuff

And A Harris Tweed for me.
