The Wifey and I have to go to France to attend a wedding of one of her friends, then another friend of ours is getting married in Natntucket in September. Luckily I found a pair of Murray's Toggery Shop Nantucket Reds in my size a few months ago to complete my WASPy Jew look.

Jeez, I finally got out this weekend and found a few things (pics tonight maybe) but I come back to epic hauls that make me feel embarrassed. 

Eddie... AMAZING! I'm hoping you'd like to pass the savings along. 

...and that tie haul... Wow. So many Hermes...

 Nice! We're planning a trip to Halifax for my brother-in-law's wedding, then on to France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy (I'm hoping for Liechtenstein and Germany, but that might be a stretch).. There will be much cycling, mountaineering/hiking and frolicking in the hills...

Excuse me, I think you dropped something.

Is this yours?

Is there a point to me bragging after Eddie, GMMcl, etc.? Prolly not, but here goes. Sorry nothing available (most of it already sold), but all represent the first of each brand for me

Loro Piana shirt

Etro wild tweed

JM Weston chocolate suede pennies

Borrelli

Bit of a dry spell for me, only found a few decent things:

Ties:

A bag:

Vintage North Face made in USA blue Gore-Tex parka with detachable hood (size XL, available):

Some accessories for myself:

Some stuff. Way too little for as many stores as I went to today. Thrifting sick is going to catch up with me.

Regular Ralf Dry Selvage 32/34

These fit and are basically unworn, so I may get them hemmed, removing the boot cut at the same time.

Finally! 15 R.

60s Norman Hilton. Amazing jacket with MOP buttons. I'm pretty sure it's cashmere. 39 R.

There was another one, that was a little less nice, but still felt like cashmere, that had a dime-sized moth hole on the back of one of the arms.

Recent J Press navy blazer, 43 R. Missing the top button, but I bought it for next to nothing.

And which one of you lives in Atlanta and was focusing on ties this morning? Somebody was following me.

I did this. Hopefully you have a good tailor who will understand when you ask them to taper the legs from the INSEAM, NOT THE OUTSEAM so you don't lose the selvedge. Mine did an amazing job and they look perfect, but my tailor is awesome and she understood what I was talking about and why, whereas the assistant I started out talking to was confused. 

Capnwes- You are so fucking cash money. Thanks!
