Right. It is definitely expensive for garbage suits. Prices keep going up around here, except ties. I have found that ties are always $1-$3 no matter what make or what condition. Its the shirts, suits, and shoes that are skyrocketing in price.- dkoernert

GW always stays pretty consistent here as well, there is just never anything there. Its the mom and pop thrift stops that are raising their prices substantially. I suppose its a sign of the times, but $90 for a Chaps suit still seems seems excessive to me.- dkoernert

I hit a few of my favorite places yesterday and came up empty handed except for a fantastic RLPL FC shirt. I found it at one of my go-to places that usually yields pretty decent stuff, but their prices have skyrocketed recently. Many shirts were priced at $20, and they had few suits for $90+...- dkoernert

Pretty decent night for ties. Found a handful of PRL ties, a couple Hermes ties and a Vineyard Vines tie that was pretty cool. I did some searching but couldnt find a thing. I came across about 15 or so "Brothers" ties. The tag simply said "Brothers Hand Made" and nothing else. Anyone heard of...- dkoernert

Good tailor in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater/Norfolk-VA Beach area of Virginia?
Indeed it is a wasteland. What about Benton Knight in Hampton? I've only been there a few times though, and it seems pretty similar to R. Bryant.- dkoernert

That is R. Bryant Ltd. I dont think they do much, if any, custom work, at least it didnt seem like it when I was last there. Its probably best to make the hour drive to Richmond.- dkoernert

Do you own a Rivetz of Boston tie, and if so, how do you like it?
My university bookstore sells these with our university seal on them. I picked one up on clearance for about 10 bucks and like it pretty well regular retail was $55 or $65 if i remember correctly. I think its a fine tie if you find them cheap.- dkoernert

This is all very true. Only in my parts they don't even know BB. Most of the time the BB shirts are priced way lower than PRL. Of course they are harder to come by around here, so I'm sure they dont see a lot.- dkoernert

I came across a Canali Proposta (never seen it before) DB coat. Wasnt going to get it at first but the $3 price tag changed my mind. On a side note, do the people running these places have any idea what high-end brands are? I always see stuff like PRL and Jos. a. Bank priced way higher than...- dkoernert

Vineyard Vines?
IMO, the bow ties are overpriced, but the regular ties seem to be pretty decent if you can snag one on sale. I also have a pair of VV patchwork pants and they have held up great so far.- dkoernert

Need your opinion on BB 1818 suit before purchase
I like the first one, but I think I would probably pass on the black one. What about a Navy with stripes, or maybe pick up a couple SCs to pair with some nice trousers?- dkoernert

Real bummer today. I hit a couple spots that usually produce quite a bit of good stuff. Only found a nice Etro tie.- dkoernert

Thats exactly what I needed to know. They didnt seem fantastic by any means, and I definitely do not need that style RIGHT NOW. If I make a quick drive I'll probably come across at least 1 pair of AEs, so I'll hold pass on the Oaktons.- dkoernert

I was out thrifting yesterday and came across a pair of black wingtips made by Oakton. They were in pretty good condition, thrift wanted 96 cents. They looked good and were my size, but I didnt inspect them too closely. Can anyone give me any info on the brand? A quick google search turned up...- dkoernert

Picked up a 100% Cashmere Navy sport coat at the thrift store today for $9.99. The maker label says, Strathmore by Anderson-Little. Anyone have any information about the maker? This was picked up in the Philadelphia area.... Curious about this as well, I see this label pretty frequently in my...- dkoernert
