Channeling the Beach Boys while waiting for 1/2 off sale... Pendleton shirt and REI Ivy cap.

For a second I thought you meant modern-day Beach Boys, what with what seems to be a Robert Graham licensing deal!

I dont ever pick up Woolrich stuff but this felt like it was worth grabbing (tweedy harrington-like coat with removable lining)

This is so sweet!

I'm a huge Beach Boys fans so I, of course, dig your Pendleton. But when they played the Grammys last year they were all wearing Robert Graham shirts. They are the perfect demographic representatives for the RG shirts.

I went there for a 2 night run of Phish shows at the "E" Center back in the early 2000's. I've got some interesting stories from that trip, to say the least.

U always have interesting stories!

To everyone who has been blowing up my phone with messages about the APC coat, I dont have time to respond yet, but I will.

Well i can tell you that I wont be blowing up your phone over the coat, but wouldnt mind some details on it! its awesome.

Was it shrinkage or is that just Paul Smith sizing? I found a cool M, was stoked...then put it on back at home. If it was an S in real life that would be exaggerating. A thrift I go to has an XL I was going to pick up but...collar fraying. I should go and try it on -- and then we'd know.

I don't know. I've never found Paul Smith before. I know that Ben Sherman stuff seems to run smaller than the tag says.

Please kill the ties with fire. ASAP. The jacket is ancient, and not in the good way. Late 80's-early 90's. None of this was worth what you paid. No offense, just constructive criticism. Save your monies for the good stuff.

Are these the Edwin's I'm looking for?

Nope. Those are just your ordinary ugly 90's jeans, sadly. You're looking for basically the same characteristics you would for regular high-end denim. Raw or dark, stiff, selvedge and maybe a buckle back. Chances of finding a good pair in the US (besides LA) are slim because I don't know anywhere that sells them here. Only place I've seen them for sale new is in Japan. This is the good stuff: http://www.mrporter.com/product/167...-Jeans-_-Sen&gclid=COyd0teIwbUCFYZcMgodaRAAug

Also found an awesome Cheaney's boot... No match anywhere!

Owch!

Orvis shirt (mens large -available)

I'd be all over the bottom Orvis shirt, but I know they run big. Nice haul, though!

Also picked up this for my wife. I've compared it to her store-bought one and I cant see any reason to not think it legit.

Great Fabric was it a J Crew made one or just a TM tag?
