UPDATE!: Okay, here's the deal -- the ridiculous monolith that was the Bergdorf Goodwill Megasale was getting a bit too ridiculous and monolithic, so with j's permission (encouragement, even!), I have divided the sale up into three components. I will bump the threads when new items are added. This should significantly ease your browsing (and mine -- it was taking me forever to even get the thing to load so that I could edit the post to indicate sales, add items, so on). Many thanks to j and to StyleForum in general for allowing this. Please note that I have set up a GrandCentral number that will ring my cell phone -- please call this if you have any questions that you would like answered quickly or you feel like berating me for any reason. I live in the Eastern time zone of the US and I barely sleep, so feel free to call me at 3 in the morning if you really need to know the width of a shoe or something, I totally don't care. For those who aren't familiar, GrandCentral provides alternate phone #s so you can publicly provide a number without giving out your permanent phone number. Make sense? Anyway, for reference, three ways to get in touch and ask me to measure something, describe something, photograph something, whatever: SUITS/JACKETS/BLAZERS
Two Astor & Black bespoke suits (measurements are below). The fabric on these is astoundingly nice and these would make stunning suits for the person they fit. These are about $1200 apiece if you have the service done, I'd like to get $420 shipped for both of them. If you were shopping at Century 21 or Filene's, your receipt would say that you'd saved about $2000, is what I am saying here. These suits have dual rear vents, working buttonholes, great fabrics, handsome stitching, and I love the coloration. Now, to the numbers: Measurements for both suits are as follows: 23.5" underarm to underarm, 22.5" waist, 25.5" sleeve, 21" shoulder to shoulder, 33" total length. The trousers are 40" at the waist and have a 31" inseam, and are cuffed. Please note that I would much, much rather deal with check/MO for this item than PayPal due to the sizable chunk of change that PayPal would want from this. I'll do PayPal if you insist or have no other means, but I'd really prefer not to.
NOTE: If the same person buys all three of the following jackets, it'll be $300. We'll call it the Summerslam Deal. Note the measurements, they should all be suitable for wear by one person, though fits will vary slightly.
Navy Canali suit sz EU50R, $250. Measurements of jacket: underarm-to-underarm 22", waist 21", sleeve 26", shoulders 19", length 31". Trousers: waist 17.5" laid flat, inseam 30", rise 11.5".
EU56 grey striped Cantarelli sportcoat, absolutely amazing fabric, dual rear vents. $125.
Ultra-gorgeous lightweight wool Gieves & Hawkes tan jacket, 40R. This thing is beautiful. Photos do not do it justice. $200. Measurements: 21" pit to pit, just under 18" across the shoulders, 32" total length.
Emporio Armani linen blend jacket EU48 $80. Measurements: 21" pit to pit, 18.5" across the shoulders, 31" total length.
J. Crew cotton jacket, sz S. Great for summer and as a knockaround travel jacket. Functional sleeve buttons, beautiful striped body lining. $45. Measurements: 20" pit to pit, 18" across the shoulders, 31.5" total length.
Awesome RL Polo cotton jacket, sz. XL. You know you love the staging here! This gentleman is ready for a day out. Note that his pants are already off (mannequin has a big ass, is fussy)! $50. Buy this in combination with some other summery stuff and we might be able to work out a deal. Measurements: 24" pit to pit/20" back of the shoulders/33" total length/25.5" top of shoulder seam to sleeve's end.
Thoroughly awesome textured blue Zegna jacket with patch pockets. EU48. This one's great and incredibly distinctive. $100.
Amazing camelhair Zegna db, sweet patch pockets. EU50. $80. Measurements: underarm-to-underarm 22", shoulders 19.5", total length 30.5", sleeve 23".
Zegna double breasted, awesome stitching. EU48. Worsted Super 100s. $70.
Banana Republic, 44L. $30.
Amazing bespoke country jacket from forgotten clothier. I adore this thing. Sorry the fit's a bit odd on the mannequin. $90. Measurements: 21" pit to pit, 18" back of shoulders, just shy of 30" total length.
Unusual odd jacket with narrow lapels, belted in the rear, leather accents. This would make some seriously crucial streetwear. Forgive the conservative staging, didn't feel like swapping out the thick Zegna for a narrower tie. $50. Measurements: 20.5" pit to pit, 18" across shoulders, 30" length.
Classic navy Brooks Bros. blazer. 41R. $40.
Grey Canali, EU56L. Bemberg lining. $60.
Unconstructed seersucker by Basso, bought at a sample sale a long time ago, worn once or twice. It's a bit rumpled here, I'll see to it that that's fixed prior to shipment. Fits like a 38. $30.
So, who's got balls? This is vintage Merc. If you don't know what that means, then you're probably not interested anyway. Made in England, tagged size 40. Movie star-grade cocaine not included. $40.
OUTERWEAR
EU46 awesome green leather moto jacket from Spain. This is some Bergdorf Goodwill private stock right here. Amazing fit. This pains me. Buy this and get comments everywhere you go. $130.
Size medium grey Armani Exchange moto-style jacket with two zipped breast pockets, double zipper. Paid full retail for this in the days when I was prone to such follies. It was somewhere in the $150-200 range, I think (yeah...). No exterior branding or other overt tackiness. Perfect for the guy who wants to dress like a Tekken character. Please excuse my laughable posed shot, my apartment is in complete disarray from photographing clothes and the timer caught me off-guard. $40.
Vintage tough guy leather jacket, strikkly 4 tha S.T.R.E.E.T.Z. It's a size 44, and though it's obviously meant for a hard man, that leather is so soft. This is distressed, by which I mean it actually has cool distressing as well as some "oh, that's not ideal" distressing. Note detail photo. It's still as real as it gets. $30.
