I understand that he's young and this is an informal platform, which is why no one is asking people to use "could have" instead of "could of." * I'm not suggesting that people learn the difference between "then" and "than."** I'm not asking anyone to avoid ending their sentence in a preposition.***

I just offered a bit of advice in order to help. It would be the same for any member, DM7, Spoo, et al.

Again, I didn't mean to blatantly insult anyone nor did I intend to start "Thrift Thread Gun Debate, 2013."

*Could of is often the mistaken transliteration of "could've," which is the contraction for "could have." In nearly all cases, could have is correct.

** "Then" marks time sequence and often means "next." "Than" shows the comparative. z.B: I will eat lunch and then I will go to work. I am taller than him.

*** Not a concrete rule in English. However, prepositions are best avoided at the end of sentences in order to avoid confusion and leave a sentence open-ended. z.B.: "Where are you at?" becomes "Where are you?"

Is it the photo angle or is the Oxxford a sport/athletic cut?  Shoulders look huge and the waist is drawn in a bit more than usual.

 

Looks great!

That was used into the early 80's, but most often found in 70's era. Nice pickup, USA made, looks to be a nice cotton flannel.

I don't know how I forgot about this one, but I also picked up my first Borrelli today. Crazy thick MOP buttons.

Made up for lost time and went out for 7 hours today. Paying for it now, but just took my drugs. icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

No pics yet, but Ive got some pretty sweet stuff, including a 10lb Schott leather, 70s AMF Harley Davidson leather vest, BB 100% camel, amazing outerwear, and cool Roundtree and Yorke barn coat, amongst a lot of other stuff Ill totally trade on (some of them wink.gif ).

Anyhow, hope you have all been well!

Welcome back, Spoo. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

I hit one store today. RLPL burgundy tie, couple of toys for my kids (who also played hide and seek at the store), and one of the coolest BB pieces I've seen in a while: beige button down cardi with real MOP buttons. Grabbed it for myself (indenting to shave off the light pilling) but it's much too big. So bigger guys looking for cardis, get at me. Hope to take some shots tomorrow.

Edit: And passed on 3 pairs of some of the nicest pairs of Church's Custom Grades I've ever seen. Black, calf, brouged wing and cap toe in an elongated last with squared toe on two of them. Very good condition, but the color and the price put me off. I think they were tagged 10A, but they were awfully narrow. If anyone is interested, I'm willing to proxy at a very modest fee to cover my time and gas, since this store is a bit of a drive. Gaddamn I wish they were a D width, and at least one of them in brown!

Yeah, they make the thickest MOPs I've ever seen! I would go out on a limb and say they make one of the most high end shirts in the world.

Borrelli are defo good dress shirts. My two cents for best dress shirt:

Buttons: Toss up between Borrelli and Fray (Truzzi worth a mention as well).

Fabric: Kiton by a country mile.

Handwork: Kiton for sure, Truzzi / Fray probably next in line.

Style: Cannot beat Tom Ford here - great collars and good athletic cuts nod[1].gif

Elegant patterns: Etro for me are awesome by having funky but not over crazy designs.

Jizz Mopper: Robert Graham by far the most apt shirt for wiping up a self made mess.

Best Overall: Style has most weight, therefore Tom Ford has the best dress shirt for my money with Kiton a close second happy.gif

I had 10 minutes in a thrift before having to pick up some kids at a dance lesson. Talk about pressure! But I came away with these boots. Now I have an awesome pair of beater boots. They were beat to hell and the photo is after treating them once with Lexol Leather Conditioner. Not sure about the date but surely at least 45+ years old. The company shuttered in 1986 and I found a photo online (in all places the Bata Shoe Museum) of a ski boot they made in 1945.

No thrifting today, but my wife and I spent about three hours at the local REI for their "Scratch and Dent" sale...

 

I came up with a pair of Scarpa rock climbing shoes and a pair of Vibram Fivefingers. The wife scored well with a pair of leather Vasque boots, Acorn shearling slippers (for around the house!), Scarpa rock climbing shoes, a pair of Vibram Fivefingers and a Deuter backpacking pack. We also picked up a cool steel Coleman cooler.

 

Off to a different REI store tomorrow morning for more of the same before watching the Niners roll in the SuperBowl!

Thanks for this heads up. I stopped by a BE exchange and picked up 3 pairs of NWT TWID selvedge jeans. Two for me one for a friend. It's great to add some great denim to my collection for a low price.
