Lol, you're both wrong. Tigers' lineup is far scarier than either the Rangers or Boston. And, their rotation is arguably in the the top two in the AL.

Tigers infield contains the equivalent of two David Ortiz', no way that Verlander can pitch like he did last year with that infield. Tigers are my second favorite team, but they are set for a relapse!

^^ Great haul! :slayer:

Great finds. About the Zegna shirts: how recent is recent? I found a couple with the same label as the top two in your photo. Didn't know they were recent.
That Saint Andrews BB is an orphaned suit jacket, isn't it?
Recent Zegna shirts 15.5-16


Bottom label is the most recent of this lot. The current labels are the same shape (more square than rectangle) and have "fake" pick stitching (printed on the tag) around the edges.


Also, Rayxlui - amazing score!

Not necessarily a thrift pix,but do you guys think it's obvious that this is not a SC? Would you wear it with jeans and/or chinos? Sleeves need to be shortened.

Yeah, looks pretty obvious. Those are some prominent shoulders.

Also, decided to get this Zegna coat. Solid navy. Pretty sure that it's an orphan, and I tore up the store looking for the pants. Dbl vented. 3 button :( :

Get some lighter buttons or go with brass or gunmetal. You can make it look like a blazer/SC that way. Only you will ever know the truth.

Picked up these two Hermes Scarves. 95% sure they are real due to the stitching as well as other evidence but they contain no content tags. One of them looks like it was used as a hanky to wipe coffee off a dripping chin. Could use some authenticity confirmation as well as some additional information.













GO PHILLIES!!!

awesome find today,definitely in my personal top ten.
super cool vintage KLM model display plane the way you would see them in travel agencies years back.
heres the thing,its all aluminum,including the base.weighs a good twenty pounds,made in denmark.








similar one selling for $3000 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330622458007&clk_rvr_id=329648004007

Great find! I was in the aviation industry for 15 years, those things are highly sought after. You may be surprised what that could sell for. . .

They have the fattest infield in history. It's awesome. They'll be decently athletic up the middle on the days that Raburn doesn't play.

Verlander may not pitch quite as well as he did last year but Doug Fister is the real deal - a full year with him will certainly compensate for any regression Verlander may experience.

I need baseball to start.

The suit jacket/jort look is under-appreciated.

John Mac Gray. France. 11US. Chocolate Brown. Topy'd!

Can someone tell me where they are on the quality continuum (are they like Mezlan/Magnanni/Cable & Co not suck, not great)?
