How'd everyone go with Black Friday?

I haven't purchased much in the way of clothing for a long time but finally managed to pick up a dark chocolate Valstarino on sale, very happy with the price, hopefully fit etc all works out. Tech wise, needed something a bit more portable so grabbed a Surface Pro as well, between the discount+cashback+amex offer, I don't think I've ever seen them as cheap - worth a look if anyone was considering a surface purchase anytime soon.

I spent a fair bit overall.

Not too much on shoes surprisingly. One pair of Edward Green suede chukkas. A few clothes from Ralph Lauren and Tommy (casual) and some items from Burberry. A cheaper spend than what I was planning on myself.

I did buy nearly every Christmas present though for family and kids so I am happy with that

Vale Greedy Smith,
Yes. Martin Plaza is also very ill, so fingers crossed for him.
A friend also mentioned Martin Armiger has gone West. Spent a lot of nights in choice dives around Melbourne listening to The Sports from 78-81.

I'm selling off some suits, jackets and shoes:
- Carmina blue suede penny loafers UK9.5

- Canali dark grey sharkskin suit size 50
- Eidos/Christian Kimber Japanese cotton beige field jacket

The shoes are listed on some local FB sites but the rest I've been too lazy to list. However I do have photos. PM me if interested. Shoes are in Sydney, rest is in Melbourne. I'm in Melbourne until 15th then in Sydney.
I also have some watches to offload.

What size is the Eidos?

Other items:
Canali charcoal sharkskin worsted suit - hardly worn - size 50R
Lardini mid/dark brown 3-roll-2 flannel suit with subtle pinstripe - size 52R, excellent condition
Henry Bucks mid brown linen jacket - size 52R (buggy-lined, made in Italy)
Brunello Cucinelli off-white cotton jacket (hard 3, buggy-lined)
Gulliver Look plaid 3-roll-2 jacket - size 50R (this is the "fashion" brand of Lardini)
Latini dark brown suede bomber jacket - size 52, with plush Loro Piana wool/cashmere lining - amazing quality piece
Shoes as already listed.
I'm 180cm and weigh 76kg. The Canali is just slightly small on me and the Latini jacket is a tad large. The suit pants both have 5cm turn-ups, so there is plenty of fabric if you're taller.
I'll post these to B&S in due course, but it makes sense to offer them here first.
