1) drool.gif OMG I WANT!!!

2) Pretty sure its long time respected forum member. I'm sure he asked Spoo....if he didn't shame on him.

According to my family tree, my great great great great grandfather and his 3 brothers fought in the civil war. 2 fought for the Union, 2 fought for the Confederacy.

This remind me of the gangs in LA. Cousins play on both of the red and blue teams. Great family gathering times!

That is so bad assily rare!

Lol, I prefer this one to the usual Spoo signal. I hope you don't mind that I stole this from you, Wes. patch[1].gif

What I think is strange about this thread is that the standards are constantly raised a bit. I remember when a Borrelli or Brioni shirt would be surprising, but it seems they're found on a daily basis with little fanfare. I posted a pair of Vass shoes a couple of months ago and I can't remember if anything was said. One category that seems to consistently get comments though, and it happens to be one of my favorite "categories" in this thread, are the vintage pieces. Things that are old get a lot of love here.

Anyway, not a complaint or a rant, but something I've noticed. Am I alone in that??

I agree. The rarer an item is, the more attention and props will be given by members.

Haha, unfortunately not. Very small. I will dig up a picture.

Very true.

Like I said, I'm not complaining as I enjoy the thread here as much today as a year ago, just a noted difference.

39...and I would even say on the small side, at that. I couldn't get my foot inside the shoe and I'm normally a 40-41. Definitely men's, just....small.

I agree that the standards have gone up. I think we have more people posting than ever, so the good stuff is bound to show up more frequently. I remember someone posted a RLPL plaid sport coat a while back that got zero comments.

I like the growing appreciation for more vintage stuff here. Sometimes a 1950s Deansgate jacket is more interesting than another 90s Zegna suit. I hope Spoo's vintage thread continues to take off too.
