    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

    Found this today at a Goodwill in PDX... My size nearly exactly; maybe nip in the waist. Would like the sleeves a bit longer but *oh well*.

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Sorry for the double post; couldn't figure out how to delete the first one... I picked up this 46L navy Canali Proposta full-length wool top-coat at a local hospital's thrift shop (always good finds here; the docs have good taste!) for $60. Exactly my size, and just like buttah. I couldn't step...

    Picked up a 46L navy Canali Proposta full-length wool top-coat at a local hospital's thrift shop (always good finds here; the docs have good taste!) for $60. Exactly my size, and just like buttah. I couldn't step back far enough to get a full shot, but here's the . Score!

    I know, but it fits more like a 46, and the shoulders are just about perfect, so it shouldn't be a problem...

    LOL. I would, but the shoulders are just right. My tailor and I can make this baby work for me... It's beautiful.

    Gieves & Hawkes RTW thrift find - opinions?

    Came across this Gieves & Hawkes navy pinstripe suit today at a hospital thrift store... Must have belonged to a sartorially savvy doctor. Definitely RTW, but not sure of the vintage, even though the styling is quite contemporary. Slightly heavy flannel two button, double-vented...

    Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr suits/outfits

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Certina Vintage 1960. Swiss mechanical. Not exactly Appreciation, but I love this little watch. Nicely recrafted by The Little Shoppe of Horology here in Mississauga. Silver finish. My crappy photo skillz suggest a little gold. It is a silver case, though, with a little gold on the face. That's a...

    How to wear Glen Plaid

    actually is looks a LOT like this one, other than the red in place of blue... (you can see the blue in the second picture) Nice watch (and suit, of course!) -- what is it?

    Fragrance Appreciation

    Anyone here use/like X by CLive Christian? I have used that for casual and it has a unique scent. I had a decant of it at one point. I really liked it; a very well-structured and classic scent...but not nearly worth what Clive Christian charges for it, in my opinion.

    Fragrance Appreciation

    Ormonde Jayne - Champaca - heady and heavy Czech and Speake - Neroli - a really good neroli Ah, but their #88 is to die for! One of my all-time favorites.
