Just one thing yesterday but a good one:

 

[Fueco]

My wife picked up a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine for my birthday. She got it fairly cheap from a friend who wasn’t using it.

Edit: my wife made the spam musubi.

 

[ATLjon]

Do I call those A&S pieces 44L?

It's like 18" shoulders
22" pit to pit
>25.5" sleeves
33" back from under collar

outseam 43"
waist 18"

Spam sushi FTW!

Those measurements seem more in line with a 42 L.

44L wearer here, seems like it’d be too small for me but I’ve also never worn bespoke English cut jackets. Feel free to send to me to conduct further research

That Cifonelli is bonkers ,only item I can think of I have never found in 25 plus years .

Not thrifted per se, but building it myself was cheaper than buying the chair I initially wanted. Just finished off this project and looking to get a set of slim black cushions made. Haven’t had a chance to hit the thrifts in what feels like forever, so I’ll have to keep living vicariously through all of you.

Outstanding job. I don't know if you're looking for a side hustle, but if you could build those in your spare time and learn to sew the cushions you'd do really well. Great work.

Bruh.

I've never seen so many NASCAR shirts in one place, but I live in the SF bay area... The biggest NASCAR race we have is the SaveMart 350? Which is fun as hell the few times we went.

I'd say the most fun race for me was the American le mans/weathertech race at laguna seca. Set up a picnic right under the cork screw and it's quite an experience.

This was when all the teams where pissed at Audi for having a diesel turbo V10 R10 TDI. didn't need to stop to refuel as much. Lol!

Apologies for the lazy Sunday morning pics...

Went looking for an extended keyboard because my the space bar is dying on my Mac keyboard.

Not one keyboard to be found, but...

Monster Power HTS-5100 for $40. This one will replace my HTS-1600 (paid $20 years ago) which doesn't have unswitched inputs.

Kenwood KM-897. $24.99. Not a big deal, maybe worth $100... but using it as a back up until I get my mcintosh MC60 tube amps up and running again.

Seemingly brand new naked and famous wierd guy selvedge for $10. There were 3 more pairs that have maybe been worn once, but i already have way too much denim as it is!

 

[txwoodworker]

Coming up on 500 listings this month, and the backlog is nearly cleared out.

Agree with the others here.

Generally I do P2P * 2 then take 1 size down. So 44, then 42.

If non-bespoke/MTM, then drop of 6 (42-36) between jacket and waist is typical for British suits. Italian tends to be 6-8 drop from what I have seen.

Haha that's only about half of what I bought, too! Those were just the really cool ones. I dropped the rest off at storage, as they weren't anything too crazy (mid-late 90's front graphic only). Still, at that price, I wasn't going to leave them...

I've never been into NASCAR, but the shirts certainly are cool. I probably had the "deer in the headlights" look when they guy was going into detail on all the racers him and his brother went to. The two Ron Jon t-shirts are keepers.
