Indeed, that is a very good price for that jacket. Do yourself a favor when it arrives, however, and check it VERY carefully to ensure that it is not counterfeit. There are a number of fakes out there. Guy on the Ask Andy forum got taken not long ago.

Are T&A ties worth putting on ebay? I have been sitting on the tie below for a while, but may just wear it next week on my trip to the UK (when else am i going to wear it?) The tie is darker green.

^If real, that's a steal on the Barbour.

As a dedicated thrifter, I have also come to realize that the well placed splurge can be just as wise as regular thriftiness. The bright side is that I use my thrifting to pay for the splurges.

Same here, only I enjoy the splurging more than the selling... Gotta catch up on that

Does anyone use Etsy? Can anyone comment on their experience with it.

Also, are PRL and HF SCs worth picking up for under $10 to flip? What is MOP? Mother of pearl?

Thanks in advance!

Etsy for selling or buying? I have purchased items before, worked out well.

Are the PRL made in Italy? Even USA might not be bad, but I love the made in Italy stuff, and it does decent on ebay.

MOP is mother of pearl. Used on quality (usually more expensive) shirts, and sometime SCs. It also could be used on cufflinks, tie bars, etc

NWT Zanella plain-front navy pants. $25 at Nordstrom Rack - they had been hemmed and not picked up.

Noobz, several of those ties are recent patterns as far as I have seen from B&S listings.

Hey everybody, longtime lurker, first time poster.

I picked up these Florsheim Imperial shell cordovan longwings a few days ago. Look to be in pretty solid condition - size 10 C, original 5 nail soles, v-cleats and suicide heels.

Nice score! I have not seen that type of sole before, very interesting vintage!

Interesting find earlier this week. Jo Ghost boots! Super soft lining!

Pretty standard from back when Florsheim used to make great shoes. I found a pair of v-cleats myself today in the same size, but not shell
