Stopped before a meeting today and made a couple quick scores. This sweet Nile crocodile
belt made in S. Africa really caught my eye. I don't know anything about leather but I couldn't let it go. It's rather large at 46". If anyone know anything about it let me know!

PM sent on the BB Maker tie. I know at least one member on here fancy those.

Bespoke suit - Holland & Sherry fabric - working buttons, single pleat pants.  Fits like a glove but sending to my tailor to take out the pants a tad.  Not Available.

 

 

 

 

BR Made in Italy (who makes these again) - in my size so not available

Ties - all available and all between 57-59 in. long and 3.25-3.75 in. wide

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Villa Bolgheri - pattern looks like rose buds.  

 

 

 

 

Brioni - the light streaks toward the top of this first picture are a subtle pattern in the silk that is seen/unseen based on direction of the light.  Pretty neat.

 

 

 

 

Altea Milano

 

 

 

 

 

Shirts - all available.  No stains or yellow collars.

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

I didn't actually thrift it but thought it was neat/humorous.

 

 

I'm pretty sure Lardini make for BB so BB Italy made are most likely by them. Hope this helps.

2nd thrift fit EVER. Was going for a EazyE look the other day w/ my new RRL tweed jacket. I know Sleeves are waaay too long, but its going to the tailor soon, I haven't had a piece of clothing i've wanted to wear this badly for a long time though, so fuck it! Pants have a subtle salmon-ish check to them that doesn't come across well in pics. Also, for everyone who didn't see my last pic, IM WHITE! Suprise! (i guess, i didn't realize that was the public perception of me till last time LOL)

 

Also, INCOMING, I fit all of this:

I'm going to have to agree on this as well. It's a pretty cool jacket, but too big. Sell it and put an ebay notification for the same jacket but in a smaller size. Not only will it fit a whole lot better, but the cost difference between selling and buying will most likely be a lot less than alterations.

YIkes, I have to agree with Wes, here, bro...I guess it's time to get your bench up to 350 lbs. so you can fit that! thumbs-up.gif

As a follow up to my last post: I stopped by a new place this morning and didn't have much time however there was a truly massive selection of top quality shoes. Dozens of Allen Edmonds, Florsheim, Mezlan, Johnston & Murphy, Cole Haan as well as a larger pair of Crockett & Jones and a smaller pair of Alden's. They were all in very good condition, some very much wearable in the condition they were in and some that with a little TLC would have been almost like new! If anyone is looking for anything in particular let me know. Rey had wing tips, cap toes, loafers and driving shoes. Really a remarkable election. Next time I have a chance ill take some more time and really look at sizes and what not.

Does anyone know when APC switched from button to zipper fly (or if they still do both)?



Quick thrift fit. Excuse the mess, taken in my buddy's room while I was in transit. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Pants will be too slim for most, but I'm in an environment where classic isn't necessary

My unspoken fears... spoken lol. I thought when I put it on " i look like a brick", but I like it sooooo much. Oh well, to Ebay she goes. I should be able to get more than $125 out of that bad boy, right?!
