Also picked this guy up...1st Storm System, never seen the NM label before so guessing it is a couple of years old. Tiny hole on very bottom back by the vent.

Looks like a Martin Greenfield tag to me, right?

I think if something fits this well, you have to rock it. The question really is, where do you rock that to?

Rocks it in the living room until the photo session ends, maybe to the front porch...

I feel like i've seen someone post about this before, but what's the brand that has the "SSSSSS" tag, white font on a black background? IIRC it was hugo boss something but i can't find anything about it online.

Here's an old post related to this: http://www.styleforum.net/t/44994/llama-coat-label

That is sick. I don't think it's Greenfield though. I think all of the Martin Greenfield for BB has a tiny "MG" on the tag, like this:




Still, awesome trench.

Where has Spoo been ALL day? Was excited about the Versace pants, with zippers and all!

I come to you dudes tonight as a broken man; a man in mourning.

Today, I rocked my new fave suit: J Press navy tight chalk stripe. Fist time I wore it. Fit me like a glove off the hanger, and looked indescribably baller. Seriously, it was f-cking awesome. On the way home, after an epic 2.5 hour, 20 mile drive home in the snow, in which I managed several Neo-esque escapes from catastrophe, I step out of my car onto my driveway and take a digger. Onto my knee. Ripping my f-king suit trou.

*****!!

(BTW, that's a penny for scale and to make the damage moar visible)

So I ask you: is this the kind of damage that can be rewoven for less than $100? If so, anyone got names in the Connecticut / NYC (have cash, will travel) area for reasonable reweaving?

And assuming not to any of the above, can a brother get a moment of silence?

Edit: MAINY: LOVE that BB tweed and the Hermes are actually wearable. Also, my Alden shell-dar must be off, because I wouldn't have picked those based on the micro creasing. Makes me think I've actually handled shell and not known.....

Picked up an older Brooks Brothers tweed today - any idea of the age based on the tag?






Some damage to the lining of one arm, stitchable.

 

[catside]

Early seventies.

That EB quilted down jacket is some serious ****. Back in the day, EB had the best down on the planet.

What are they? Sold to me?

And just saw your link...nevermind. I've been after some chukkas with a moc sole for awhile now. And in my size to boot.

Passed on about a dozen motorcycle protection jackets and vintage bomber jackets. I don't know leather and they wanted 50-200 per jacket. Was going to kop the cool Cooper jacket though.
