Pants look great!
I picked up some boots today in my size because they're really well made. I pass on tons of "made in Italy" crap on a regular basis, but these caught my eye. Can anyone help me with the brand/logo? The tag inside says "SENTIERIO" made in Italy and it has a stag on the side. On the bottom it has a CP or EP, I can't tell due to the font. Any ideas??


Wow! Could the inside wording be "SENTIERO" rather than "SENTIERIO"? SENTIERO translates to "path" which may be a model name. They look great!

It's been rainy all day... here's the highlights from one spot:



^^^ L-R: Deadstock / NOS Florsheim balmoral cap-toe shoes 10 1/2 D; Allen Edmonds Manchester tassel loafers 7 1/2 D.

I also picked up a funny Guatemalan woven straw hat (not pictured).

I bought the following from Giuseppe at the Top Shelf Flea V this past Sunday:



^^^ Vintage 1950s Brooks Brothers charcoal gray sack suit 38 S. IN MY SIZE!

And earlier last week from the AAW online shop (which arrived yesterday afternoon):



^^^ Crockett & Jones Mortimer single monks in British Tan marked 10D (but fit me well at 10 1/2 C).

^^^ I almost didn't pull the trigger.

They are marked a UK 10, but his description said that they would fit a US 9 1/2. I risked it because I knew that UK 10 is pretty close to US 10 1/2. Either way, $80 for C&J monks in such great condition was worth it. They ended up fitting me and all is right in the world.

Also, do any of you guys have a Sulka tie with the vintage blue label written in a script-like font? I picked up a really nice vintage Sulka navy blue and pink grenadine tie for myself that is missing its label and I would like to remedy that. If anyone could help me out before I resort to eBay, I'd appreciate it.

Does this on the very off chance happen to be the "good" Dolce & Gabbana and not the crap licensed stuff?


Been had explained, but DG never licensed. Just different tiers - this is the (albeit older and less profitable) main line.


I buy my labels right on ebay...1000 for around $35, They last me about 6-8 months.


Link to seller?

Here's the BB Shell I found. Any help identifying much appreciated, as well as suggestions on whether to get the heels or anything else redone before flipping. Needless to say, these are available, size 9E, and this is just the BEFORE and I'm going to be doing some cleaning and refurbing.

















Here's the Valentino DB, size 40R and too small for me so either 38 or a true 40R










Unfortunately the way the lady packed the Bullock & Jones tie wrecked it

Also does anyone here know anything about comics? I've looked these up but it seems like there's only a few that are selling on ebay.


Here are the prices based on condition, but at the end of the day it is only worth what someone will give you for it and you will probably be hard pressed to find a buyer.
