I've seen a lot of them but always in black, never in salt & pepper like this one.
It's fantastic!

Yeah, I should have said curly lambswool instead....is it persian lambswool? Though I think that is a bit thicker.

Thanks again for the responses.

I am sorry that some people felt attacked -- reading over the posts again, I can see how some might think I was saying that thrifted clothing is inferior. That is not the case -- a brioni is a brioni, a kiton is a kiton, etc. But I still strongly believe that a brioni in great condition > a brioni in average condition -- I think most of you will agree.

That being said, I assume this is a place to discuss clothing, fashion, style -- whatever you want to call it -- because we all have a mutual interest. The root of any good discussion is an opinion, so don't discount my opinion because I am new to this thread/forum. You don't know my background, or what I have to contribute -- but if you want to try and shun me that is up to you. But like with a new job, I am going to put an idea out there whether it is day 1 or day 10. Whether your idea is accepted or not, it's a way to immediately show initiative and commitment, and, hell, maybe even just get noticed -- I'm pretty sure I have already achieved the latter.

You can tell it's a baby yeti by the salt and pepper coloring in there. As they mature, the dark hairs shed in favor of the more concealing all-white fibers.

...and you can tell it's a baby yeti because as the yeti matures, its hair darkens into dark brown before going gray.

 Here's a pic from a monastery in the Solu Khumbu Region of Nepal... I didn't take this shot, but I have seen this in person.

lol brian you're cool most of the time and usually you're helpful as far as pointing people to the labels thread or the ebay thread, but I think you overstepped here. having a discussion on the merits/content/direction/purpose of a thread should be okay.

 Yes, if started by someone who contributes to the thread in a meaningful way. Perhaps where people have overstepped is in reacting to the flames thrown by a n00b?

Somewhat fruitful trip. All available

Loro Piana (correction: Daniel Cremieux w/LP cloth) Navy 2 button, 42R

Sakowitz Cashmere Blend overcoat, (no stated size) about 38-40R

And maybe I should have passed it up. You tell me, 16/41
