More like this, after spending some time lurking various threads on various forums, I'm actually more confused than when I started. I think COAT does more traditional SCs, whereas K is their washed/distressed line
Oh hell yes. The seller had listed on the brand portion "COAT", and was obviously interested as to what I had to say because, well, I'm a terrible liar and you can read me like a book so when I very excitedly came up to the counter he had a lot to ask about the maker. Pics:



Check out the fabric, totally not visibile until you're breathing on it.




Shout to GMMcL for telling me to memorize the HOF thread the other day, definitely came in handy in a cell phone dead zone. The only problem I have with it is, well, the height of the notches. Do any of you remember PTO's lapel gorge height guide (http://putthison.com/post/23483570213/consider-the-gorge-trends-are-a-funny-thing)? Um, yes, these definitely are in the Higher - Ridiculous range.


 

This thing is badass and is the correct size. 

Fuck 35,000 Brionis (18 actually) , Bogliogli for life.  Dat cashmere Kiton tho....

All of my trousers and jeans are stored in these hangers.  I fold them in half, probably too haphazardly, and clamp them .

Some are thrifted, some on consignment, and some are from Pasadena CA. Yard sales 

I just picked up some more poop, LOL 

 

Nice hauls... Any of it available? What size are the Battaglia Brioni's?

Also, why is that one sporting a Luxe Swap tag?

Couple things I found a couple weeks ago but didn't post...

Shetland BB sweater for me

XL Filson flannel shirt (available)

I went today but found only one thing... a surprisingly nice linen shirt by Grant Thomas with MOP buttons. Pics of that and some other stuff I found in the last week this weekend. Stuff I passed up today

Women's Pendleton short blazer, size 18

Really old Orvis goose down with faux fur collar... should I have kopped?

England soccer zip-up sweatshirt I may go back for for my daughter

Thrift fit from today

Grendel and EazyE, those are beautiful fits.  I love that cardigan with that tie especially, Grendel.  I want to take a few moments to give a shoutout to OCooney for an incredibly generous trade, in which I received a pair of Church's Custom-Grade, pre-Prada, with the ORIGINAL BOX and in great condition.  Holy crap, man!  Plus, they're now one of my 2 best-fitting pairs; even though the numerical sizing would indicate otherwise, OCooney assured me they would be good for me, and he was right.   I also want to thank Tubs and 1OfTheCoolKids for hooking me up with some BB and Bill's khakis like the ones they posted the other day, even before we settled on what I am sending in trade!  So grateful to the standup guys in this thread.

-----------------

That said, I went out on discount day and found some things, available unless otherwise noted.

I know Guy Laroche is nothing to get all wet about, but I'm a subscriber and big fan of the Philadelphia Orchestra and thought this was perfect for me.  (Maybe for my fantasized alter-ego as orchestra conductor?)

Vintage 1960's slim-lapel 40-41R Harris Tweed, 3 roll 2.  Pre-dibbed, but possibly available.

Now I also managed to pick up some shirts:

Left column:

Aquascutum, sized M - 15.5x33

Orvis button-collar w/breast pocket, sized M

Paul Stuart made in Canada, 17x34

Pink button-collar, 16.5x35 (pre-dibbed)

Right column:  all 16.5x33, all pre-dibbed but possibly available

3x Faconnable

Robert Talbott french-cuff

Madeleine Finn thick white oxford, size M

Never came across this brand before, but is obviously quality and has thick MOP buttons

EDIT:  Passed on a nice, good condition black 4-button Boss orphan found in the women's section, 40L.  Felt bad leaving it, but [shrug].

I think that's what he meant when he said some items were bought on consignment. I guess he won one of Spoo's items?
