I'll go ahead and nominate myself, with a recent find of mine! Best part, jacket is staying for personal use, even though I could certainly make immense amounts of money off it.

Deerskin Leather - Butter soft
Cashmere / Wool Lined

How is anyone not nominating the guy with the NWOB John Lobb cowboy boots that retail for $15K? IMO, he should win.

Hope to post pics of my nice finds before the deadline

Did some reading the model started in the late 40's. How often do they update it or how often do they re-release it?

I know it's generally bad form to talk about how much you paid, and how much you sold it for, but I wonder if it would be more appropriate to include that info in this thread?

The hickey freeman overcoat, a few pages back, is beautiful. But my jaw dropped when he posted how much it sold for....

I'd like to nominate Centuar1 for two Anderson & Sheppard suits in a single run.
It was posted under my username, but he found them.


annnnd... would it be bold to nominate myself for most improved?

Um yeah.

Huge S/O to my roommate Centuar1, who found the two biggest hitters.


Butt all you really need to know is...










Oh yeah, and its friend.





Both are around the 40-2 mark, 33 waists. From retired Paccar CEO, made in 96

Speaking of A&S finds - how about the thrift synergy award for eddievddr10 and myself finding two A&S tuxedos from the same donor on the same day in two separate stores?
