D'oh. Guess this is what I get for quietly

myself everytime you guys have issues with the 'bay buyers. This is my first return - oh well.



If you held them in your own hands you could not possibly describe them as you did.
I as all ebayer's want the item as described. Please refund my money asap which I expect to include shipping.

What an ass. No shipping charge refund for a demanding donkey.

Oh a good note, today I went "shopping" for my niece and nephew whom recently graduated from high school. I was going to get them gift cards from the mall but decided to try my luck at a thrift adventure. Not a bad day. I passed on a bunch of BB and Ted Baker stuff. I got a pair of Versace vintage signature jeans for my nephew and a pair of Versace couture jeans for my niece.


I usually don't go through the jeans section. I'm glad I did today. I got a pair of Lucky Brand jeans (US made) and a pair of Diesel jeans (made in Italy) for myself. It's been awhile since I owned a pair of fitting jeans.


I need to hem about 2 inches off the Diesel.

This is pretty small...I think it should be flip worthy.

Grabbed a bunch of hangers at 0.99 for 4.

Not bad for one store.

I'm in a moral dilemma and I think some feedback from y'all would help me make my decision.
There is this amazing vtg Orvis Harris Tweed SC at my local 'will. It's my size and fits perfectly of the rack, but it has a few holes in the shoulder area.

WWSFD? (What would SFers Do?)

Just wanted to share this amazing non-clothing find from someone on reddit: Original 4 reel A Clockwork Orange film print

Your reply should be:

Hello David,

You made a gross assumption to think that I held the said item in my hands. I would advice that you seek immediate medical attention unless you want the Gonorrhea to develop into more serious symptoms.

How about he shows us the auction so we can see how he described it

The most awesomestest thing happened today! I hit up a thrift which I visited for the first time 2 weeks ago. When I walked in they told me they were having a Buy one get on 1/2 off sale. Great! I picked up a few SCs a Suit and 3 ties. My total was about $50. They gave me a punch card last time around, when ever you spend $5 you get a punch, after 10 punches you get to pick a day for 50% off everything in the store.

As I finished checking out, one of the ladies asked me "Do you always look for suits?"
"Yes" I said.
"Well, we have a whole lot in the basement that we have no room for, if you have time to look around"
"Sure, I've got time"
"Let me get a flashlight"
"

"

She left me alone in the basement for at least 35 minutes while I searched through 5 long racks of suits that no one else has even seen. I ended up with 2 Suits and 7 more SCs. When I came up to check out a second time, she gave me the BOGOHO discount then took 50% off since my card was full from my earlier transaction. On my way out she asked my name and said she would let me know if anything nice comes in.

I think I have a new favorite store.

There's one spot in town that always seems to have a decent tie or two for some reason. Usually it's just crap junk though. Today was not one of those days. I only wish they were running a 2 fer 1 sale today.
L-R: Talbott BOC NWT, Zegna, Zegna, Borrelli 5-fold, Kiton 5-fold, Kiton 5-fold (This is probably my new favorite tie!)

Also found what appears to be a new, or very lightly used, Zegna shirt but the label looked a little off to me. Is this just a more recent label? I'm pretty certain it's real as it has thick MOP buttons, but can anyone confirm the label? Size 16.5 and available if anyone wants it.

^^^ Awesome tie haul! Wow!

That Zegna is the current label. Nice find! I found my first with that label style last week.

It's all about the connections!

For anyone in NYC interested, there are two mint condition Isaia shirts sitting in St. George's thrift shop for $22.50 each ($45 regularly but theyre having a half off thing now). My girlfriend had my wallet and I couldnt grab em myself, so i figure somebody should.

Wait...are you refering to my Zegna ties or those posted by Mercuryman76?

 

[Nataku]

I was referring to Mercuryman's shirt, but your ties are legit. Those are the selvedge label and are also recent. Nice finds, especially considering one looks NWT!

Great news! Actually just found one under Spoo's listings that matches the labels.

Thanks

BOLO!
Something I meant to post a while ago but slipped my mind...a long-time friend of mine started a luxury purse line not too long ago, and sent out dozens and dozens of "review" pieces (fashion mags and for people to be seen & photographed with, more or less). I know a lot of times these freebies get donated or consigned, so anyone in a fashion-zone might keep an eye out for one, to give to their little lady. Here's her site. The name in purses is not well known yet, though you might recognize the family name if you're into gold & silver baubles or jewelry.
