Thanks. Being in West Texas, I expect weird variety. We have LOTS of poor people, we have lots of people that dont wear suits, but otherwise have tons of money, and we have tons of older folks with big oil money. I guess checking out all of the shops makes sense.

That said, I sorta feel like I'd be taking advantage of the shop/the people that _need_ cheap items. Hmm.

Well, do those folks _need_ (or even know about or want) Brioni shirts?

Thrifted my first pair of selvage denim yesterday. Wasn't even really on the lookout, but since they had the denim right next to the cash register for some reason I stumbled upon them. They are a basically unworn pair of 511 MUSA raw denim, which uses the Cone Mills denim as seen in much higher priced LVC models. Too bad it wasn't on one of the recent $1/pair denim days! I think I'm going to go back and see if they have any more as I believe these may be a donation from an outlet as the size tag with model information was cut out.

Ok, so, this is my first real post... for my most recent purchase: a pair of shell cordovan vintage Hanover derby brogues. 9C with what look to be the original laces (forgot to photograph with them in place). Not available, however, at least not yet. Except for what looks to be brown paint / wax on the sole they look to be in decent shape, though I have been trying to touch them up a bit and spot-condition as needed to restore some flexibility.







I know they're not LB Sheppard's, but I'm still pleased with them. Query: Any thoughts as to their age? I can't seem to place them.

Also this English Laundry


That looks sick!

******* bad-ass Falconnable made in Italy sport coat. Hounds-tooth plaid, dual vented, horn buttons, neck latch, size medium.

Available.






And finally, a mystery sport coat. It was too awesome to leave behind, about the same size as the Falconnable. Made in Italy in a gorgeous hounds-tooth plaid. 3 button and vented. If anybody can help Id the maker, I'd really appreciate it. Too big for me unfortunately, so available.

Just a quick Hermes tie quide via online sources. The two methods are the fastest way to determine if a Hermes tie is fake or not.

1. The MOST TELL-TALE Sign in spotting a Fake Hermes is to gently peel back the delicate folds on the back of the wide end of the tie. Here you SHOULD see a small thread loop approximately 1/2" to 1" Long piercing through the silk of the tie. Hermes is the ONLY Tie Maker in the World to utilze a Single Thread Stitch from end to end in their ties. The Thread ends in this small loop inside the back folds of the tie, and can be used to sinch up the seam should it become loose over time. IF your tie has a heavy stitch closing the back of the tie with no thread in
siight, it is surely a Fake!

It's funny you should mention that, it's rather large for a womans coat, zippers like a mans coat, and fits me nicely. I'm not sure if anybody could tell the difference. :embar:


Rock it, then.

Nice, can't believe it's NWT! It may have been a suit jacket (unsure), but still a great find! Oh, and that's Corneliani.


i searched high and low for the pants to both jackets -- to no avail. so I convinced myself that they were SC's and picked em up ^_^

Given the price on the tag, I'm inclined to say sport coat... a quick look on RL's website indicates suits typically go for a few hundred more than that (how sad is it I don't have a clue what regular retail even is). Now onto the important stuff... available?
