@CS: I haven't been here for awhile, and I'm glad I checked in because my mind just exploded when I saw your haul. I've never seen so much amazing stuff from one trip. The 2 cashmere jackets are amazing, and though I personally like the pattern on the Craig Williamson's more, the Kiton is just a rare-ass find, and in your size to boot! That orange neat print Di Cori tie is great too...and Florsheim RI shells in your size...It's all so crazy...I'd better hit some thrifts this week...it's been too long.

here's a good portion of my haul yesterday. Not pictured are the sport coat, top coat, tie and pocket squares i got for 70% off of the outlet price which is 1/2 of retail

first up is the ties. mostly good makers and a couple lower ends that i just liked the pattern.

the zegna in this pic is an "exclusive design" and feels fantastic.

Hoping this versace is legit and any insight as to the quality of the ties/maker of the ties on the left is appreciated. the quality is very good and they feel awesome so i snagged them

is this lanvin any good? i liked the color and feel of it so i bought it since it fills a need for me.

These next 2 im having issues authenticating....any insight? the zegna is super thick and high quality. the chanel tie feels about like a hermes tie in quality and thickness

NWT belt in my size....brought to you by the makers of "skeet blanket"

also this brooks brothers belt made in italy in sz40.

NWT orvis flat front sz38 field pants

shell baby! florsheim imperials in my size. they need some polishing and some color loving but i should be able to clean them up

faconnable made in italy sport coat. who makes these for them again??

canali 44r.

check out this bad ass vintage 100% cashmere sport coat. super soft, just pure bad ass! about a 40-42r

shirts

check out these bad boys! soft wool tweed PRL made in italy by corneliani. flat front and cuffed about a 36x34 id imagine.

Loro Piana size 56 cashmere. color is more of a maroon pics are too bright

Kiton Cashmere SC in my size. was cheaper then the JAB one right next to it on both sides lol

also found this Bombay Co. caddy for $14. ive passed on a bunch of old ones i just couldnt pull the trigger on. glad i waited.

Anyways, the discount gods have been good to me since. Picked these up at Nordstrom Rack in my size; $250 is the original price, I assume $125 was the intended outlet price; got them for $20. I know they are just Nudies, but I just needed a pair of raw blue selvedge denim since all my others have crotch rips...

Did you wash your jeans often? I think it helps to reduce the chances of crotch blow out if you were to wash them once in awhile.

The "good" Christian Dior is from the women's line.

I found a random tank top for women with "Christian Dior Boutique" once. Made in Italy and very well made from my inexperienced eye / hand. The GF didn't want it so it went on eBay and sold for triple what I would have ever guessed. If you run across it in the women's section, I'd say its worth the grab.

On another note, I just searched eBay listings really quickly and came across this Boutique piece. Read the writing on the front quickly. I had to do a double take.
