Some 3 piece tweed suits (did it have a fabric manufacturer label?) go for crazy money on ebay...like $100's and $100's and $100'sI went to Goodwill for the first time yesterday. It was a fruitless search, but I had two close calls.
The first was a tweed three-piece by a French label I had never heard of. The vest and jacket fit me, but after finding the pants they were quite too short.
Only thing amiss were the pocket flaps.
and a bunch of vintage 1960's summer wear
APC women's trench coat i found for the wife (might be too big for her, if it is i'll put it on the trading spreadsheet in case your lady could use it)
Tuxedos aren't supposed to have pocket flaps!
Are you sure it isn't a men's? Looks like it's buttoned the wrong way (only two button-holes). Much more of afind if it's a men's!
Wow, you found this in LA?? Maybe someone moved from the rust belt?
Hence why it was amiss. I had tucked them in in the photo. Also, I felt as if it were canvassed at least in the back, but I could be wrong.
Any plain white non-iron shirt (with collar stays). And the tie itself might not be the problem, it is that the knot is sloppy. If the Duhill won't tie right, find another one. I've found plenty of $9 ties at TJMaxx that produce better knots than my more expensive ties. Spoo always has good knots, you should be shooting for something like this:
Its probably the knot tie-er not the tie. I will take the blame for that. I guess I need a lesson. Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
^Try to use a wider ( or tie short) and more substantial tie. A Windsor or half Windsor may look better on the mannequin. Spoo's shirt collar style is of course good, make sure to use metal collar stays so you can shape them the way you want.
Anyone know if this is a seven fold?
Watch what car shes getting into and next time let air out of a tire...she will get the hintHow often do you guys run into obvious flippers going through the menswear? I'm only recently encountering this for the first time. I keep seeing a lady going through the menswear at my favorite stores, checking every single label and dumping anything with the right label into her cart.
My first thought was "Well, I guess the party's over." And I have had fewer great finds recently. But more more optimistic side says there's plenty to go around, and I'll still find some good stuff.
The same way you would sell anything else....So how would I proceed in selling the HSM suit?
