Those are both awesome, especially that suit (edit) which is apparently not Andover Shop, but is still rad.

Sweet EZ size 16/41 available for cost plus shipping. It was cheap and I thought someone on here might want it. If not, to the bay'.

And then, this piece of awesomeness. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Completely mint, Andover Clothes (I'm not sure if they are related to the Andover Shop, I need to do some research) heavy charcoal wool suit. Tag says 1941/2, so possibly the year it was made? Either way it old and how it survived this long without any moth damage is beyond me. 3 button, 1 button cuffs, vented with slim lapels and minimal shoulder padding. Trousers are cuffed with double pleats and an interesting coin pocket. Lots of hand work on this one. I'm really bummed this doesn't fit. Size 40, about 34/30 and available.

LOL @ Vader!!!


No thrifting yesterday, but i stopped at nordstrom rack last night and picked up a couple tame thomas pink shirts for 29.97 a peice, a couple silk pocket squares for 7.97 ea and a david donahue super soft silk tie for 14 bucks. Happened to meander into the gap next door and picked up a pair of selvedge slim straight jeans which were 40% off so i paid like 45 bucks for them. The marshall had a bunch of VV ties on dale for 7-12 dollars, but i didnt buy any.

Thats what I figured. This was all I could find on the interwebs about Andover Clothes. confused.gif

On another note. Thrift fit pic. I was feeling a little British with this one. Full, FU glen plaid flannel suit by Aquascutum, that I recieved in a good faith trade from Grendal, that he has since been compensated for. cheers.gif This is another one that sat in my closet for a good 7-8 months before I finally had it tailored. Trousers were taken in, the sleeves were lengthened and a hole in the lining was repaired.
Bowler hat by Lock and Co. from thriftydood.
BB slim fit OCBD. I cant believe I don't have a light blue spread collar shirt yet. If anybody comes across a nice one in 15.5 x 33, get at me.
60's Scottish cashmere sweater by Alexander's.
E. Marinella tie, thrifted.
Unknown English bench-made cap-toes. Thrifted.

Just to follow up on this real quick. I went to my local Nordstrom Rack, and they were flush with Canali, Zegna, Talbott 7-fold ties, Rag and Bone, Falconnable etc. We don't get a lot of this type of stuff here and one of the girls said it's all of the stuff the main stores couldn't sell at clearance so they shipped it all to the Rack stores. You all might want to have a peek at your local Racks in case this happened across the board.

Not a thrift find, but I ordered the Pendleton I've been after from Ebay. It was about five bucks more than I wanted to spend, but I wasn't going to let a mint board shirt in the Beach Boys plaid get away this time. It's really recent too, which isn't quite as nice since they aren't made in America anymore.
