No Saturday delivery/pickup would suck.

 Next thing, you'll be telling us that thrifting underwear is a bad idea...

These are the super crispy kind.

And my retail denim is supposedly on its way.

It's the kind you should avoid coping in the future due to it being an orphan.

You can also double the tighty whities for double the protection!

I would just soak them. I just soaked and dried my West is Dead selvedge. Took 2 days to dry with minimal indigo loss. My 22 oz. elephant 2 took 4 days to dry!

I wash my denim in the washing machine with cold water and air dry them. Seems to work pretty well on the relatively normal stuff (the jeans I have are like 3% spandex). Hopefully I'll find some good stuff some time soon to try out. 

That sounds like a PITA... I just don't wash my raw denim

Thrift fit

Ascot Chang X 3, Incotex 32X32, NWT Giordana cycling jersey, a cool Magritte tie, and a new Sock Monkey jack in the box for the wee lad. all available except sock monkey : )

Fishy went thrifting again...

Once again I'm way behind on stuff so I can't post everything, but here are a couple things that I really want to get out there.

I'd just like to put this one out there. Hopefully it won't be considered an ad, because I'm making no money on it, I just figured someone would love to have this, even though it's a fixer-upper.

44Ls report in!

UP FOR ADOPTION: Amazeballs Corneliani sport coat that will need a bit of reweaving work 

P2P 22.5

Sleeves 25.5

Waist 21.5

TGL: 34

Shoulder 20

Unvented

I originally picked this guy up to sell- somehow I managed to miss the two moth holes.  One is on the inside of a sleeve, the other the inside of the jacket.

However, this piece is absolutely gorgeous, and I really don't want to see it go to waste! Great wool, functional cuffs, general sweetness. If you want it, it's yours for cost + shipping, just PM me. I know somebody here will love this guy to death. 

Okay, now on to the regular old "available"s.

Sweet ass Southwick suit, sz 40! Vintage with some repairs for a popped seam in the sleeve, but sweet pattern!

Equally gorgeous vintage BB  lavender and yellow micro houndstooth check shirt. (16C32S) Tiny discoloration at the bottom- waaaaay beyond the area that’s tucked in and hardly even noticeable besides (I didn't see it till I was taking pictures)

NWT BBM tie with a classic amazing pattern anyone? A bit lighter than it looks in the pic. Tiny thread pull in the tied area of the tie, so it'll never be seen. 3.5 at widest.
