I have 2 sets of pristine brand new looking shoe trees, the kind with the springs and the ball end. I don't use this kind, but I know some people do.

Size is marked "10-11". They look to fit a US 10-11 (i.e., I imagine that is a US size marking).

Make an offer. I don't want to bother with ebay, and I don't want to just toss them.

Thanks.

PRICE REDUCED AGAIN!

These are Brooks Brothers captoe bluchers in burgundy shell cordovan. They are "in perfect shape", but they are seconds because of some nearly unnoticeable discoloration and scuffing on one heel counter. They do have some scratching across the Brooks name on the sole to prevent returns, and a '9' written in Sharpie on each sole (which would probably come off with some scrubbing). These are really gorgeous shoes. You might be able to fix the discoloration, but I have no idea and I'm not going to try.

Size 8D US.

Similar Aldens go for $360 on ebay in NIB first quality condition. This model is available at $488 from Brooks brothers:

I'm asking $200 shipped.

It was hard to take a picture of the problem, since it's not very apparent except in pretty strong light:

Thanks!

PRICE REDUCED!

I got this quite a while ago and was considering keeping it for myself, since the jacket fits me almost perfectly and it's a really awesome, comfortable suit. But the pants are really just not going to fit me, so I figured I'd put it up to try to help the between-jobs slump.

Enrico is the old name for the highest line of Isaia suits with a ton of handwork in them. It probably retailed in the ~$3000 range. This one is not brand new but appears to have been altered and then not worn, judging by the lapel buttonhole still being stitched shut from the front. The pants have been taken in some and cuffed, and the jacket sleeves may have been brought up, but that's it as far as I can tell. You'd have to get that done anyway.

The fabric is a very lightweight weave with a sort of grid texture to it - it feels like it would be very cool in hot weather, and the overall impression of wearing the jacket is like wearing a sweater. It feels like you're barely wearing anything.

Size is a 50R European with a 7 drop. Fits quite closely and would fit a borderline 39/40S as well. The shoulders are a little wider than the usual 39-40R, so measure a suit you have. They are lightly padded.

Measurements:
Jacket (Double vented)
Chest ~43"
Length 30"
Shoulder 19"
Sleeve 23.75" with 1.75-2" inside

Pants ( Double reverse pleated)
Waist 29.5" with 4" inside to let out
Outseam 40.5" with 1.5" cuffs and 1.5" inside
Inseam 29.5"



The texture of the fabric:

Similar NWT suits on ebay are selling for about $600+, so (reduced) $400 shipped ConUS. I will throw in the heavy duty Isaia hanger you see pictured.

Here we have a simple shirt collar type overcoat made of waterproof Loro Piana Storm System wool. It's a sort of fine tweed in green/brown/black color 100% New Zealand wool, and the fabric is pretty lightweight. Size 42L and sized to fit over a size 42 suit. Slash handwarmer pockets and three inside pockets. "Semi-raglan" construction (the back has the raglan sleeves but the fronts are set-in). Condition is like new, I can't find anything wrong/worn/altered about it at all. It's a really nice coat.

Chest 50"

length 48"

sleeve length 26.5"

shoulder 21"

Front (on my monitor, these shots are closest to the real color - it's pretty dark):

Full retail was probably around $600 for this. Asking $220 shipped ConUS.

Good deal!

This is a 100% cashmere jacket made in Canada for Nordstrom's higher "John W. Nordstrom" line of Loro Piana cashmere fabric. The fabric is a medium-weight twill, medium-to-dark mottled bluish-gray in color. It's a 3-button that rolls to the top button - the lapel is not smashed down there, but it seems to be meant to be worn with the top button done. Unflapped patch hip pockets. Double-vented. Really, really nice jacket. Interior includes two main pockets, pen pocket and lower cell/smokes pocket. Condition is like new - breast pocket has not been unstitched.

This would be a great start to luxing up a business casual wardrobe.

Very similar to current Nordstrom offerings that retail at $695

Measurements (no size tag):

Chest 46"
Shoulders 21"
Length 32"
Sleeve length 26"

Looks like the going Ebay price on these is $170, so let's say 150 shipped ConUS.

This is the basic suit we tell everyone to start with. It's not Super 120s or Super Anythings, it's a workhorse, midweight solid navy wool fabric like your standard blue blazer. Not to say that it's unluxurious, but it's not delicate. 2 buttons, single vent, classic Oxxford styling. Trousers are slightly darted flat fronts.

Condition is used but good with plenty of service left to go. The alteration in the back of the trousers is coming unstitched a bit, but most likely you'll need to have it altered anyway, so that's pretty negligible. There are also some stitching marks in the back that might be fixable but will be mostly covered by a belt anyway. The jacket appears to be without any problems.

Chest 46"
Shoulders 18.5"
Length 31.5"
Sleeves 24.5" with about 3" to let out

Trousers
Waist 38" with none to let out
Outseam 43" with about 3.75" under (no cuffs)
Inseam 31.5"

Issues at rear belt loop area:



$240, free shipping to ConUS.

Thanks.

maybe I should ask this in a different thread, but what are the pros/cons of these spring trees?

 

[j]

The pros are that they are very lightweight, easy to travel with, and do a decent job of stretching the vamp of your shoes after you've worn them.

The cons are that they don't do a great job of stretching the sole out flat, a split/spring type does a better job of stretching the vamp, and the ball can deform the heel of a delicate shoe (though any spring tree could do that, IMO).

Great items, but nothing in 40L.
