Is that label ever seen on ties though? I have some that im pretty sure are liscensed, but I don't know how that label would fit on the tie. And to clarify, cosbysweater, there is no such thing as Gant rigger or hugger? I thought i'd seen both posted. Regardless, I got Rugger today, its like XXLT though, so if you are a giant man and want it let me know.

Is anyone even going to read this, or are you all watching the counter? :tounge:

I wasn't even going to GW today but my wife had to check for something.

First off, a NWT PRL Classic Oxford (blue & white stripe).

Then some sweet ivy league goodness. This baby must be over 45 years old and it's a long way from home.
PAtch pockets, beautiful lapel and buttons and single vent. Nothing in it but the H. Freeman & Son tags.

Measurements:
Chest: 23"
Shoulders: 18.25"
Sleeves: 26.5"
Length: 32.25"

Only blemish is an ancient ink mark on near left shoulder blade.

Available to someone who'd give it a good home and party like it's 1959.

^ That's how you do 40000!

RE: Gant Rugger. I've found some old Gant Rugger stuff that didn't seem especially nice. I think it's just the more current Rugger, designed by Christopher Bastin, that's desired.

I know you were never really gone DM7, but welcome back anyways. There were 27 of us on at the time of 40K, and I was hoping someone would step up with something worthy!
