Looks perfectly fine to me if you're going for that professor/academic look. I really like the tie more than anything.

Having said that, if you're not comfortable in it, everyone else will be able to tell.

VTG BB Shawl Tux


Burberry London Tux


Burberry London SC


Southwick Suit w/ flat front


DAKS, fully canvassed, pants have lots of details, flat front




VTB BB Suit flat front


PS SC




NWT Loro Piana 100% cashmere tie...Can a tailor remove the thread/airplane without damaging the tie? It's such a nice fucking tie, but I don't really want that stupid plane on the tip...





PS Shawl Tux jacket - no pants but figure it will still sell easily on the bay

Looks old.

I like the look but would rock a different color tie. Something with more contrasting color and pattern.

Wow! Just that Loro Piana tie will be $$$$! Got anything in 40s?

STORY TIME

 

So after my last class on Thursday, I hit up a few stores that I normally don't go to. Found absolutely nothing. Stopped by one last shop, which is a tiny charity shop in my town. Only thing I found was this for $2

 

 

Nothing special, just a BB toiletry bag. Opened it up once I got home, There is a small zip pocket on the inside. So I checked if there was anything in there, and there was. I saw a few dollar bills, but there was also a license. The license belonged to a super old dude from my town and had expired a few years before. I started to count the money to see how much was there, and what I thought were dollars, were hundreds. $400 fucking bucks!!! Since I had the dudes license, I at lest had to try and give it back. So I found his number online and gave it a call. His wife picked up, and told me that he had parkinson's before he died and would hide money in weird places. So I drove over to her house and gave her the money and she ended up giving me $100 as a reward. Felt pretty good about myself even though I gave up the four hundi, I still got about 50 times the amount i paid for the bag.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, since then I have had some pretty good luck....

 

 

PRL Made in the USA Double Breasted Suit. (tagged 38 Short, dual vent, tiny little line on the pants. photo below) Available 

 

 

 

 First for me. Half off all Sweaters and winter shit at Savers, so this bad boy cost me about $2 NOT AVAILABLE 

 

 

 

Does anyone know what maker tag this is? Dunhill Pretty nice pair of blue chinos. Made in Italy

 

The amount of margiela in this thread is mind boggling

Found me some Angora (rabbit??)!

 

Possibly...I've had PRL Angora rabbit and goat. How does it feel? Super soft?

One more pairs of John Lobb's!

First pair that I ever found, but maybe women's, sized 39.5 EF ?! It's a pair of black monk in very good condition.

Not really....the combo of all three actually have a kind of weird texture. Not soft like pure cashmere or cashmere/silk like I'm sure to.You can feel the weave.

I'll guess Angora goat, but it's really just a guess. I've seen Angora rabbit fur on smaller items for sure. I think I even have a pair of pants that I bought retail that have Angora rabbit fur in them and I even asked the salesperson about them. Is there a blue tag somewhere that says it was made for PRL EU? It should have a Swiss or UK address as well.

 

I like it, especially the tie.

 

Congrats Abed and Rando! Must be the reason things were so dry for me today.  

 

Only really interesting item was this navy DB polo-style coat. Union tags date it to the 40's:

 

 

 

 

It actually fits, but I have no need for anything like this on the west coast.

 

Here's a thrift fit pic of my own from dinner last night with the Wifey:
