Gah, that stupid site waited until I was ready to check out before telling me it isn't shipping shoe trees, or any shoe care products, international. Next time I pass on JAB, it'll be with extreme prejudice.

PS Wes those mountie cufflinks look awesome! But they also kind of look like they'd weigh a ton.

If you're gonna be doing any more roadtrips through my area I can proxy for you and hand them off.

I wore that Duchamp London tie from you yesterday. It's a favorite.

Minor finds today, all available.

Burberry's Made in USA Blazer. I usually pass on these but this thing is in excellent condition and has a beautiful pattern.

P2P: 22
S2S: Just under 19.5
BOC: 31.5
Sleeve: 25.5

Recent Faconnable Jeans. 36 x 34. Fairly slim ffit. 3% elastane, likely to be very comfortable.

Very Recent J Crew Urban Slim Broken In Chino. 30 x 32. From Fall 2011. There's a laundry mark on the knee, see last pic. Didn't see it in store, generally speaking it is hard to see.. Will give away at cost and shipping if someone wants a nice pair of beaters.

Mint Polo linen/cotton sweater. Great summer sweater - 71% linen, 29% pima cotton. Marked XL. Color is slightly less vibrant than in pictures, but not much. I would describe the color as "brick" or maybe even "blaze."

OK. Someone posted a Hermes tie a while back with a closeup of the loop, which made me look back at the Hermes I picked up a bit ago because I don't remember seeing a loop. The consensus on my tie is that it's real, but just to make sure ....

They are pretty sweet in the full color. Surprisingly not that heavy at all.

Today, from more cart stealing.

Some kind of textured Etro shirt-15.5



M2 Flat-front Bills-Do people still buy these things?



A crappy textured tie



I don't know why it looks dirty in this pic, it's not dirty. I guess it's the light.

And a super terrible suit- EU 50R 33W 31I 1.5cuff

Can't see the loop but I'm still almost certain it's real.

Thanks, didn't see those on the site. When I ordered the Strands, just said I wanted shoe trees (which were on sale for $19.99) and the non-split are what I got, but for $25 vs. $7.50, I'll buy the Jos A Banks with $10 off, non-split toe or not.

heh same here man, 3 pairs of shoe trees, some shoe racks, tie rack, girl with giant rack...(okay maybe not that last one)

I wish all of my snags were in tiny sizes, as you seem to be interested in buying every last 14.5 collar shirt and 36R suit ever made. Surely you aren't wearing a suit and tie every day?

Quote: You would be SOL if you found any 36R suits as they are too long for me. Even some 36S are too big in the shoulders. Really need under 17" unless its cut really slim can sometimes take a gamble on a 17.25" but anything larger I won't even touch due to it being too big. That coupled with the fact they are hard to find, I try to at least inquire about every one I see, here, ebay, craigslist, google searches, etc. I try to find any 36S suit that is for sale within my budget as I cant walk in and buy suits at retail or I'd have a wardrobe of Isaia and RLBL. As for shirts...you can't have too many quality shirts and most again are too big for me so I have to inquire about 10 to find 1 or 2 that will fit. Its like shoes, you always want to have that perfect shirt for the occasion and the only way to do that to match a tie, etc etc is to have a large assortment (and its kind of addicting to buy clothes).
