Go figure.

On that note...I wonder why I never find any kiton.

 

Me too, buddy, me too...OH wait, I did find a Kiton tie but nothing else...

A cool random mix of stuff, some found in LA, a few in OC.

 

I forget if I posted this one before. Thick/heavy as hell, actually justifies the price, and was left hanging on the recently put out racks by the store's vultures.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

Wood buttons too (Click to show)

 

Ok, little guys in cold weather climates, I'd be up for a trade on this if you guys have anything my size. I would be rocking the fuck out of this today if it were my size.

 

 

The one we're... I usually hesitate/hate to use NWOT, but if a shirt ever was, this has to be. Fabric/tags are crisp, whites are bright white, the way the sleeves had been rolled, I feel like it was on a mannequin somewhere.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

Only the second buy-able Eton I've found in the wild... Clubby collar, sized 15 3/4...Wtf?

 

This I was surprised to find in the shop that I did, there was a green striped mate I had to sadly leave. As expected, the fabric feels a-mazing.

Dem buttons and stuff... (Click to show)

Wish they'd show up better, so colorful, and I love that the collar button is slightly bigger/thinner and signed.

 

 

A first for me, this one made it to the racks, and I'm so, so, so, stoked to say fits me pretty much perfectly.

Same claw stitching on the buttons as the Borrelli. Hmm...

 

Found this guy at the same place, same day. Versatile or burn it with fire? Haha... Photo doesn't do the hues justice.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Feels pretty sexy and the colors are riiiiich.

 

Then just the other day, I found this at my local shop. Wasn't even going to thrift that day, had a date and thought ok I'm going to go in for 5 minutes. Needs some tlc (a good cleaning/pressing, a few cuff buttons, etc) but, well...

Check them deets boys (Click to show)

I didn't even see the collar in store.

 

Picky Picky, and what's this... un-opened main button holes... On porpoise.

 

Sick cuffs, 3 button with two working... One cuff has buttons 2 and 3, the other 1 and 3... Need some mates.

 

Obey

 

Last but not least. Damn how'd I only get the edge of the tag...

 

 

Check them deets boys (Click to show)

Mmm hmm.

Confirms that the regular vultures at the store know next to nothing, which explains how I find anything there considering they sit and wait for every new rack/cart to come out. I'm sure the shit eating grin on my face was undeniable, as were my saucer sized eyes.

 

That RRL! drool.gif

Some things I found last weekend:

 

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

Charvet diamond pattern and Faberge elephant stripes.  The Charvet is the first I found in the classic diamond pattern.  It's also only 3-1/4", I've only found 3-1/2" - 3-3/4" ones before.  The Faberge is a first (I had seen some before, but this is the first one I picked up)

 

 

 

 

(As usual, the shoes only have some conditioner applied, no polish.)

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

 

 

Church's Custom Grade black medallion captoe balmorals (UK 9.5, on hold for someone else, but let me know if you're interested, and I'll get back to you if they don't fit the person)

 

 

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

Ferragamo brown medallion captoe bluchers (9.5D, also on hold for someone else, but let me know if you're interested, and I'll get back to you if they don't fit the person); it seems like these have an insole fitted, so they are probably smaller than labeled.

A pair of brown Tod's driving loafers (pretty worn, one has a hole through the sole, 9.5D, available)--picked them up because I've never seen Tod's before:

 

 

Two Ferragamo Studio (I know, not great construction, but the leather seems to be of good quality; plus I liked the shoes):

 

Black plaintoe single monkstraps (9.5D, available)

 

 

Black wholecut loafers(9.5D, available)--my favorite from the lot, in great condition as well

 

 

Two pairs of boots (found them around the holidays, but forgot to take pictures last week):

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

 

 

Jeffery West made by Cheaney's tan boots (UK 8, available--wanted to make these work, but they are just a tad large, well-made, but definitely loud boots)

 

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

 

Frye suede boots--can't figure out the size on these, they fit me when I remove the insoles, but with insoles they are too tight.  Or are these women's boots that somehow ended up in men's?

 

 

 

Also, something I found a while back and I've been meaning to ask about it:

 

A women's wallet.  It looks like nothing special, except it seems quite old.  The inserts (I don't know what you call these things, placeholder credit cards?) have expiration dates on them of 30 and 31 (presumably 1930 and 1931), so I almost believe that it's from the 1920's or 1930's, except it seems like new.  Any thoughts?

The typeface styling on that tag looks too modern, IMO. If it really was that old, it'd be capitalized. 50s-70s, I'd say.

 

As for me, Paul Stuart dinner jacket, $35. Shawl lapel. Center vent though- gotta get that sewn up.

GUYS look what else I found at the consignment store! The RLPLs are my size, not available. Both have some condition issues, but they're fixable or live-with-able. I talked the store down to $28 per on account of the issues. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Chester Barrie for RLPL, black or dark gray w/stripes. The top of the waistband looks like it got eaten by a vacuum cleaner or something. It's really odd and definitely not moth damage, but it'll be mostly invisible when I have a belt on.

IMG_1517.jpg


St. Andrews for RLPL, single-breasted peak lapel, side adjusters on the pants. If this thing had a vest it'd be my grail suit. There's a single moth hole in the chest, but my reweaver can take care of that easy.

IMG_1518.jpg


Corneliani for PRL made in Italy. Slightly too big for me, sadly.

Nice finds! The wallet is definitely not as old as you think. I'd say 50's-70's. Diners Club was the first credit card and it came about in the very early 50's. Those numbers on the ends are the month and day as back then they went by month. So 4/30 meant it expired April 30th.

Those fonts look early 70's to me.

Cool, thanks, guys.  Yeah, the typeface reminded me of 50s/60s movies, but I'm obviously not an expert in this.  I didn't know that credit cards didn't even come out until the 50s.

And, wow.  Any RLPL is nice, but the St. Andrews seems amazing.

Wow, 2 RLPL from one store?! That's awesome! I think the St. Andrews is a bit nicer as well. For a consignment store, they sure didn't know what they had! The owner should of sold them on eBay! Oh well, their lost is your gain! Good stuff!
