According to the thread eddievddr10 posted, Frenchy was only banned through May of this year. Did he do something to extend the ban?

yes he came back as valium before the ban was over

I gather it was because he went mouthing off again.

Gonna miss frenchy b/c he was so colorful & definitely added to the thread w/ his incredible finds, but one thing I've learned over the years is that if you get thrown out of a place, try not to draw attention to yourself if you sneak back in........

I am moving soon and need to clear my closets out so I don't have to move a bunch of items that don't fit me, but I couldn't resist picking these up. Both are available.

Paul Stuart spread collar, 16 1/2.







For some reason the previous owner used a mismatched button on the cuff despite having two available on the bottom of the button placket.

My first RLPL in the wild, Size 32. (excuse the iPhone pic)

Steve Kane - what color are those trousers? I can't quite tell if they're blue or gray (everybody knows by now that either my monitor or my eyes suck). If they're gray, I would like to talk about them.

I agree though, if he'd laid low, I doubt that anyone would have noticed or cared. And we don't have free speech here, we were never told we would.

Picked up this Gianni Versace tie today. AnySpoo Anyone idea what the numbers are all about?

 

[Stissius]

Holy crap Eazy and Jp, awesome stuff. I thought I had a good day today.

Some finds:

J Crew for me and a Burberry London French cuff 16


Ennesi Snake Tassel Loafers sz 12
They're missing one tassel, though. Should I just cut them off? I figured they would still be worth it because it's snake.


A few random meh finds. BB makers striped tie, nordstrom black knit tie and a green pair of Sambas for me


J Crew 100% Cashmere sport coat 46L from fall 08

Willis & Geiger Safari Jacket 46

The North Face vintage down vest L
If anyone could give me some info on this (especially if it's real/fake), I'd appreciate it. I only picked it up because I thought it was cool

And then a Singer model #237 sewing machine. It took a good bit of fiddling to get it working, but now it's doing great. I was going to try and sell it, but it's really cool. I may end up keeping it.

Also does anyone know anything about amps? I saw a Ross Bigmouth B5100 Bass amp. Thought it might work for that synthesizer I picked up, but I don't know much about amps.

A few things today

First I crossed of a few things off my list. Found a yogurt maker, exact brand I was looking for (Yogourmet) for my wifes friend. ($4.99) We have one already, it retails around $100.
Also pickes up some patent leather tux shoes for my best friends wedding in about a month. Saving me $30 off the rental cost.
Then I found a second pair of patent leather tux shoes. The groom is the same size as me so it will save him $30 too.


Here is the rest.

Sweet No Name Checket Tweed, Ticket pocket, double vented. 38R





AE Grayson Calfskin loafers 11 EEE


Made in Denmark Super Thick Harris Tweed 40S-40R









J Press Pressidential Navy Pinstripe Suit 40S 36/28








Sweet Vintage Tail Tuxedo Jacket with working surgeon cuffs, check the date on the tag in the last pic.
Not sure how to measure it, but I think it's about a 40R

Wow - nice score on this and the W&G safari jacket. PM sent on the vest! Been looking for a nice vintage blue down vest for quite a while. Most that I find are M or S and they ran smaller back then. It's real. The brown label dates from the 70's to around 1983-84-ish IIRC.

North Face is real, and awesome!!!!! I found that vest last fall, and I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing it.
