Since you asked...

 

Top half looks great. but I'd go with a less aggressive taper on the pants. Right now it looks like you're too different people attached at the waist.

Highlights from the past couple weeks:

NOS Amazeballs shoes. Never heard of Montilla, but the quality is some of the best I've handled. No size anywhere, so I can only assume bespoke? Pirelli heels

Bought it like this, haven't had anything done to it, but I agree with your sentiments. I so rarely wear suits that I might just leave it as is so I can devote funds to items which are more often utilized. Thanks for your input (you too, Ian!).

those ghost stories are creepy. made a 200 mile total trip today and ended up with an orvis shirt :/ I was following someone around all day apparently.

well shit guys my first round of a bunch of shit I sent to spoo is ending tomorrow and it is at like thrift store prices, I might even lose money on a few of them. maybe I should stick to dealing only with people on the thread :( (my frustration isn't directed at spoo he is a pleasure to work with and is probably the best consigner around, I just guess my items are just not very good...)

but I mean I got like 40349058458 pms on this rag & bone....

and this isaia is cool right?

this is a freaking cantarelli (for facconable..) with dual vents tasteful pattern ect. 0 FREAKING BIDS I mean shit it is a nice sportcoat

ugh I might have to get a "real job"

Relax man. People wait til the end to bid. Probably won't help your odds much spamming the thrift thread.

nah that makes too much sense

I just been under a shit ton of pressure lately and have to start paying for college next year and so far have only saved up for one semester before I slowly become crushed under crippling debt that will rule my life for the next couple decades

if it's any consolation, i'm thinking of putting in a bid on the faconnable, it's just that the BOC is a bit long for my taste (and i think 2 button looks better on me than 3).

Weekend thrifting was killer. I barely have enough money to keep up. 

 

Jackets, Sweaters, Shirts (Click to show) Pants (Click to show) Shoes, Ties (Click to show)

hey dude no problem. sorry to derail the thread and be a little bitch I just felt like I needed to vent a little bit.

 

 

that stain is either semen, toothpaste, or bleach, I would suggest trying to rub it off with a wet towel if that doesn't work it is probably bleach and the only thing you can do to it is dab it a little with a brown fabric marker

 

Anyone have ideas on what to do with this spot? 

 

Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you loose. Sometimes, you fall flat on your face and can't get up. Hopefully this isn't the latter. JK! +1 for bid war at the end.

Man, you are gonna make so much money on that PRL hunting jacket. I think the PRL Country might be a precursor to RRL. Not 100% sure though...Also, I think you can get that spot out of suede with a tooth brush and some tooth paste...I've yet to try it but that's what I've heard from a reliable source.

Why not take the fight fire with fire approach? Fight semen with semen...

 

+100 on the hunting jacket also I think you are right about rl country but if I remember that particular label is a pass (at least I hope so because I passed on it today...)

oops quoted the wrong thing

also sorry I can't do that I am still 8 years old and haven't hit puberty

You can use droplets of water mixed with wax (Kiwi) polish to build up enough wax to make it almost invisible. It takes a while but I've done it. You can sometimes save some time by applying a LOT of wax and then passing it near a flame source (cigarette lighter) to melt the wax and then buff, buff buff.


This is interesting. Expect a PM.
That's good advice, I don't care who you are!
