I love the tag, but no room for something like this. Especially at $20.

Anyone know if a vintage Kelty like this would be desirable/flippable on eBay? Less for the money... I'd just love to see someone appreciate it!

Timeline on the Kelty website says they moved production from Glendale to Sun Valley in 1968, so one would imagine that's a pre-1968 pack.

Info in this recent Ebay listing suggests it's 1963 or earlier. And that one fetched $150 via BIN.

Seems worth the pickup.

EDIT: The last post in this forum thread has a price list from that period, including all of the sizing info for the packs, so with a couple of measurements you should be able to figure out the size and model.

This just happened:

Super heavy vintage pringle shawl collar knit. Probably the coolest I've ever seen. Just needs two new buttons and it's good as new.

Hercules work apron.

LL bean vintage boots

YSL shirt with the logos all over, vintage Giorgo Armani shirt with a unique collar.

Looks like a aviators cap.

A bunch of vintage college football ticket stubs.

The old tickets are killer. Wow. 1938 Rose Bowl! And look to be pristine.

OMG
I almost peed my Zanellas. BIG THANKS to @JFST for an insane trade on this Luciano Barbera coat, basically new. Look like it was tailored for me

Ballerest coat I've ever seen (suede details everywhere, comfortable, light, the wool is soft as ****, etc etc etc OMG)

It was an open trade so the bar is set ultra high for me to find his part

I know some of the thrift thread guys are beer thread posters as well. I found some great clothes today but probably happiest about these.

Hey all, long time lurker on this and a few other threads. I've been a pretty steady thrifter/flipper for a couple of years for some of the obvious reasons (young, broke, into clothes) but have only lately refined my eye to the point where I regularly come up with good stuff. It helps that I live in a small up-and-coming city, as prices are lower and I face less competition, but there are way fewer finds of the calibre that pops up regularly on this thread.

That said, I found my first Kiton recently so I figured that this was as good an opportunity to join the fray. A major pop for me; I'm still over the moon.








As soon as I laid hands on it I knew this thing was special. Almost ethereally light and soft, the fabric is a 75% cashmere 25% wool barleycorn of sorts. The Louis Boston and Kiton labels confirmed that resoundingly. No structure to speak of; I don't know the age of this piece but the fit and construction of this coat was surprisingly similar to the modern italian silhouettes favored by Boglioli and LBM etc. Some unusual details on this one: it doesn't have a chest pocket or sleeve buttons. Very minimal and casual in its styling.



The color is a medium brown at a distance but rather beautiful up close, showing flecks of yellow, red, blue, and green.







From "M. Pearlstein Private". Similar unstructured quality to the Kiton above, in a wicked slate green wool/cashmere with a pick/blue overcheck. Tag is different from the Kiton, so I assume this coat has a different maker. That label look familiar to anyone?

Some research informed me that Murray Pearlstein was one of the owners of Louis Boston and the principal force behind the modernization of Louis during the 1990s. He died in 2013, and it seems Louis Boston is closing (or has closed) as well. A loss to the menswear culture of the East Coast, to be sure. I'm happy to have these jackets as tokens of that era and the individuals who set the stage for the way we dress today.










Pardon my grim winter scruff (and unkempt flipper's den). The sleeves are short, but a quick feel tells me that there is more than enough material in the sleeve to let it out an inch or so. These things make me feel like those despicably cool and relaxed young italian men that comprise 90% of all tumblr street photography (sans cigarette).

Sorry if that got a little long-form. I'm looking forward to envying everyone else's finds and occasionally dropping in with something cool of my own. Would anyone object to my posting a few groups of my better come-ups? I've sold a lot of good finds but I've been lucky enough to find plenty of excellent gear in my own size lately. Thanks! Let's hope I got the spoilers right...

Edit/ Did not get the spoilers right. Had prefaced the M. Pearlstein and fit pics but I lost those lines when I added spoilers. I'll figure it out.

[AHS]

Tie Your Tie and Battistoni (Legit, I hope? Is that an older label?) $3 each.

Both are going into the rotation.
