Any Jil Sander experts in the house? Picked up this women's blazer recently, but the content tag looks a little sparse to me. Wouldn't imagine there would be counterfeit Jil Sander out there but who knows?

anyone like trafalgar belts, wears a 30, and has $15?

ME (well like a 29-30), might work

Got this insane Mens Jewelry grab bag today.

One small deeper scuff on left outside toe. Otherwise excellent

"scuff"

Im just busting, I'd pick up any shells I can find also

Made a quick circuit today because some big boy made a shirt donation so these were spread out over 3-4 GW's today.

Top to bottom - Zegna, Kiton, Kiton, Brioni

Top to bottom - Zegna, Loro Piana, Zegna

But the best thing I got was this M&K VX-1250SF sub for $22.50. This was sitting in the donation area and hadn't been tagged yet so the manager said if I could get it out of there She'd let it go. Don't know what the hell I'll do with this beast since I don't even have any audio equipment these days, but figured what the hell.

She also let me steal these M-Audio BX5A studio monitors for $7.50.

Nice shirt haul!!! I assume nothing in a 14.5 but figured I'd ask... Also kick ass sub!

About a month and a half ago, I was killing some time in a DVD/game rental store in the outskirts of Tokyo when I noticed they had an adjoining vintage clothing shop. Spotted a leather jacket that at first I thought must have been synthetic leather since it was priced so low. Y2900 or $36.50. Other jackets included vintage (brand-name) motorcycle jackets like Harley-Davidson ranging from Y16,000 (if it was really damaged) to Y60,000. After doing a triple-check, I bought the jacket. It was only Y2,900. I still could not figure out why it was priced so low. Either a mistake (eg it was supposed to be Y29,000) or it wasn't a 'famous brand name'. There were some ballpoint pen marks on the leather but they don't really detract from it at all.

Very nice at that price. I have a pair of the BX8a. Don't know how different the BX5a is, but the cables were a damn pain to find in stores.

"Anyone have experience with Jos Bank made in the USA outerwear? There is a chesterfield coat I'm thinking about snagging if the price drops."
The older stuff is actually very good, and if it's made in USA, it's likely older stuff. Every bit as good as older BB. Near impossible to flip, though.

Agreed. I picked up a JAB glen plaid sack suit when I was just starting out. One of my favorite to date (although, I'm biased towards trad anyway). Very good construction and pretty good fabric.

Unfortunately these are all in the XL, 17" territory. Way too large for me.

Yeah, there were no cables included so I'll have to hunt those down.

Ok so finally gettting around to pics from yesterday. I'm gonna do this bit by bit because there is A LOT. I'll try to spare you pics of some of the items lol.
SHOES All AE. from left to right: 7D (unknown model, help?), 10C Marlow (shell? again help, I'm still not sure how one tells if they have shell or not), 11.5 AA Woodstock, 13E Chester, and in the back is a pair of 15C Polos.
Florshiem imperials 11C and 11A. Finally, These look to me to be really old, suprisingly well made shoes from Bass 7B, any more info would be appreaciated! And some Trafalgar braces, i'm assuming these are limited. Everything avaliable, if you want better pics and measurements just PM me.
