The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 4120

Speaking of, I picked this up as a sportcoat, but now I'm not so sure. SC? Orpahn? It's a nomentano.

And how recent is this label?

EDIT: it's a 50/50 wool/silk blend, if that helps.

I have a nomentano suit so I can, at minimum, tell you they make suits in that style.
Not sure if they also do sportcoats in that style though.

There is a great listing from A-Z. 

 

Be aware there is also a trend of people taken labels from trashed luxury designer items and sewing them into other items to fake. Ask the store what proof they have for authenticity. They should be able to explain and show using the web. You can also join the Vintage Forum and have them authenticate it. Anything we posted takes about 24 hours to get input from industry insiders.

 

Ciao, Vlassis

Thanks a ton for that reply man,

I will use that sites forum to ask a couple questions for sure - very greatly appreciated!  

....... And now I have an other question....  I found a pair of loafers that are in pretty good shape but the insole markings are worn off - all they have is the markings on the inside - side of the heel, and I couldn't seem to get anywhere from google - hoping one of you pros can help

Here it is:(What is it!)

One thing I just want to add about Brioni: What is it and their fits? I get the impression, based on all Brioni finds I have had in the past, they seem to go for the roly - poly types - very unflattering. I avoid Brioni like a plague for myself, how many agree with my sentiment or am I biasing my opinion by basing it on only a few examples?

Not just you. I have a wider waist than normal for my body type, and the Brioni fits me better. I'm 6'3 200 but still needed good tailoring to get it slimmed down for me.

Some recent finds...

Ties (all frome EBay, all N/A)

Barneys Cashmere NWT, BB Cashmere, W. Bill Cashmere, Polo made in Italy, T&A

Pants

J Press Brown Plaid (32, might be linen), Incotex Inco Chino (38) (both FF and Available)

Jackets

Polo Tweed (N/A)

Zegna MilMil (N/A)

Paul Stuart 1/4 lined Navy Blazer (42, Available)

Recent Zegna Silk/Wool POW (42, Available)

HF Windowpane NWT (42, Available)

Oxxford POW (46, newer tag but from '98, Available)

Minty Recent Lands End Plaid Harris Tweed (46, Available)

Vintage BB Mac (40, it fits, but since I live in LA if anyone really wants it then Available)

Suits

Corneliani Gray Stripe, FF pants, Dual Vents (N/A)

Paul Stuart Navy Pinstripe (42, Available)

BB "Hand Tailored" Brown POW (43/44, Available)

And perhaps my favorite find, a 30-year old Norman Hilton Tux in excellent shape (marked 39, but fits a slimmer 40, Available)

So to recap, everything other than the ties, Polo tweed, Zegna Milmil and Corneliani suit are available.  Interesting trades considered. Also, cash may be even more considered.

 Keep it anyway... You should be able to get $30-40 for it if it's in good shape. I bought mine just before Christmas for $20 from a seller that didn't know what he had (mint condition, never worn).
