    High quality SuSu slumpbuster. The 100% cashmere and Super 110s are NWT.

    Been slow out here for me, but my wife snagged us this basically unused Crate and Barrel sofa for way under the 10% rule at an estate sale this weekend. Ditched our old sofa now we just need to keep the dogs off it, LOL.

    I know I should know by now, but are these Church’s 7.5 UK / 8.5 US?

    I'm not even familiar with that term / type of leather, and searching for it leads me to nothing but "leather binder," which is not helping me much. That makes sense. I thought it had a hunting jacket look, and even has some leather pieces on the back that look like openings for a game pouch...

    Best day in awhile yesterday. All N/A. MiUSA LL Bean lamb skin jacket. Trying to find out more about this one, as it’s a unique style with the huge pockets on the front and half Norfolk back. Brioni flannel DB suit The D’Avenza posted about yesterday. Pop for me on that label True vintage...

    Usually I never wear yellow, but I recently thrifted this vintage flecked Brooks Brothers Shetland wool sweater and now I think I like yellow? (With a thrifted Levi’s chambray M-65 jacket, thrifted Christopher Cloos sunglasses, estate sale denim dad hat and thrifted Levi’s corduroys).

    First piece of nice furniture in awhile. Going to jettison an old Lane for this one. Huge (40” diameter) glass top and brass triskelion base. Can’t find comps. Might not be anything, but we love it (my wife found it buried beneath a bunch of junk the other night on a quick single stop).

    Although I don’t post as much as some, this has been my favorite online community for the past decade or more. I never interacted with him directly, but like everyone here, I learned a lot from @kbadgley84. RIP.

    None of these sport coats are big name brands, all vintage custom jobs for smaller shops, but the colors whip. Perfect for spring. Found them all at one estate sale this morning. Also this 70s tweed Cricketeer 3 piece. Honestly as nice as some bigger name brands from the same era. Lastly...

    Some of the Canuck made stuff is tagged as T as in Tall instead of L as in Long, so this is essentially a 44L. No real difference. I've seen that on some Samuelsohn and other like-minded tags as well.

    Been putting off buying one of these forever. Just thrifted a nearly new one for $50.

    I've got it. It's a pocket made for stamps.
