AE Grayson, 11 1/2 B. Damn fine condition. They originally had some discoloration, but my guy refinished them and they look fantastic. Available.
Barrie Ltd. Jodhpur Boots, 12 A. Also refinished and I had a gash repaired. Damn fine condition and available.
I think it might (also) be this one: http://myworld.ebay.ca/giucasmall&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2533
So Brian has a corps of personal shoppers? How did he pull this off?
And this is one feedback he got, no need for translation:
Merce perfetta - venditore arrogante
Yeah, I met him in person and even thrifted with him. He's real and he does thrift. He's pretty good too! Walked into a dumpy looking SA and pulled out a pair of Brioni loafers.
okay so i will go out on a bang on my last post,very cool vintage teak cabinet today (sadly without speakers),a cool mint condition Hermes tie,and the best find of the week for me a very cool vintage Bulova flip clock made in japan,still keeps perfect time and its in mint condition.timely,since my time has run out on this forum.anyway happy hunting guys and good luck.see ya.
Not trying to hate, as those are beautiful shoes....but if they don't fit you (I'm talking about the Barrie Johdpur's), it may have been a mistake to spend money to have them repaired given the size (12A). Thats a really tough sell. O well, best of luck!

I did offer to buy the shirts even though too small, I felt bad as I knew you had bought them with me in mind.
So I know someone did this a while back, but I figured there was enough interest in the Brooks Brothers clearance center on here that I'd share a few pictures from my trip to Garland, NC. Plus, I have an interesting story to share that involves a more well known forum member, Brianpore.
Garland NC is maybe 1.5 hours southeast of Raleigh, really in the middle of pretty much nowhere. Note: very difficult to find a bathroom in town. BBCC folks don't let you use theirs, the gas station where we used to go (that BTW had great ice cream) sadly has shut down. A sympathetic story and a look at my kids made the Piggly Wiggly manager open up their locked (and pretty dirty!) bathroom to us. But, I digress.
Here's the approach to the store:
Main room is flanked by walls of ties on both sides:
Center of room has shirts by size. Pretty easy browsing here. Selection really varies; this time, not too great of a selection in the 15.5/33's for me, save some OCBDs and a couple of non-irons which will be coming to B&S soon.
Nice box of racks for $1 each
Big selection of nice simple sneakers for cheap
Then we move into the room with suits, pants, and ladies clothes and shoes
Here's a cordorory blazer in 36s that Brianpore passed on (more on that story later)
Pants (not much selection here unfortunately. LOTs of pleats and 346 stuff. Women's clothes behind.
Back into the front room and you'll find some scarves and related.....
Near the back of the front room you'll find their imperfects section.
What killed me is the store was packed with boxes like this below, but, I'm assuming, their racks were full and they just didn't have any place for it. Wonder what this box holds.......?
So now onto the story about Brianpore. I don't know Brian at all. But, I saw him comment in a thread about wanting 14.5/31 shirts, so I messaged and we got talking and I told him I would seek out things in his size ('cause I'm going here to buy for myself but also flip a few things). So via text we had perhaps the 1st ever (?) real time interactive thrifting thread personal shopper experience. As I found stuff in his size I sent texts......here's a sample......from when I found exactly what he was looking for!
Here's what's coming your way Brian:
Many ties and a few shirts coming to B&S next week from this trip.
******* awesome suit!!! Can't wait to get it to my tailor. Also totally stocked about that slim 14.5x31 FC shirt...never even knew they made those!! Thanks again!
Really cool story, and couldn't have involved a nicer guy. Brianpore and I had a similar mid-thrifting PM exchange. On April 5th. So I'm the Shackleton to your Amundson.So Brian has a corps of personal shoppers? How did he pull this off?
I'm always here to offer payback when I find stuff in your sizeHe's got a unique size. We did this when I found the Ted Baker's too only I was posting in here from my phone
