I was in D.C./MD and VA for a week and was excited to do a little thrifting. I did pick up some Armani Collezioni shirts, but for the most part, it was a whole lot of the usual suspects. What gives? I thought there was dough around there. Was it the time of year ?

I accept returns, but I do this.

Quote from my listings:

Items must be returned within 14 business days.​

14 business days for your returns?

Tell me about it. Probably more Wal*Marts per capita than anywhere else in the world.

Looks good eazye. The square's color/pattern is a little loud for my tastes(and I think that outfit) but not terrible or anything, definitely adds some flair. Got anything purple or more solid red/pink?

Shoulders slightly too wide, no? (possible it only looks like it in this picture, and not irl)
Jacket slightly too long? (But can be the angle aswell, or how the pants look very slim from this angle and so the jacket looks rather big compared to them)
otherwise dope

I'd say you need a brighter, more colorful tie. Seems a little dark for your shirt / jacket combo.

EDIT: and yes, a bit wide in the shoulders and long, but not horrible. I'd say the pants are a bit too skinny for the jacket and a fuller leg might even it out some.

Oh, that's good!

330CK might skewer me for this purchase, but I FOUND A BIKE! FOR $15.99!










It is in desperate need of some new tires and could use a nice once-over, but other than that, I think it will work out quite well. It's not an insane bike find, but considering what I paid and what I think I will have to put into it ...

Seems like quite a few of us are having eBay issues. I've got a guy saying an EU 42 pair of pants that I measured out at a 34 and are listed as a 34....are really a 37 waist and wants a refund because I misrepresented them.

^^^ Maybe you should rethink your tie, pocket square, and pants? Lighter colors. Or if not, perhaps pants that are predominantly brown with a less tapered leg? Not so bold on the pocket square?

42 generally correlates to a 36. I'm always torn on posting the tagged or measured size. Measured size just gives ammo to SNAD cases and tagged size makes the wrong people view your item.
