I’ll be honest...it doesn’t suck. This thing is flagrantly pimpin View attachment 1368590
I have a few items that are ending on Sunday. Nothing as flashy as much of what gets highlighted on here, but that just means you'll be able to snag something for a really good deal.
#1 MENSWEAR Carroll & Co Ireland I. Meain Graphite Mixed Linen Henley Tunic M | eBay
Material 100% Linen. Pit to pit 23. Total Length 28. Shoulder seams across 21. Sleeves from shoulder seam 24. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
For all my fellow iGents, it's probably pretty funny that Carroll & Co thought it a better idea to use their own name on the label rather than telling everyone they could that their linen sweaters were made by Inis Meain. For the retired agents and producers who shopped at Carroll & Co before they closed, I guess it made sense. Anyway, if you've ever bought a linen sweater from NMWA, this cut definitely runs bigger. The standard crewneck in a L from NMWA fit me perfectly and this was quite similar - maybe just a tad shorter/boxier.
#1 MENSWEAR Epaulet Made USA Indigo Blue Overdyed Self Seersucker Summer Shirt | eBay
Maker Epaulet. Material Cotton. Across shoulder seams 19.www.ebay.com
This is the most disappointed I've ever been in having to let something go. I've probably bought 20 shirts through Epaulet's Individualized Shirts program and this is one of the two nicest ones. Sadly, it came in about an inch thinner than the other ones I ordered alongside it. I wore it a few times, even used it as a motivation to drop a few pounds, but it was always just a hair too tight on me. The color is stunning, the seersucker fabric is elegant and I added real MOP buttons, a French front and lost the chest pocket for a more Italian look. If you're ever able to leave the house again and you rock this shirt, people will mutter to themselves 'hot damn, did he just step in a big pile of sprezz?' when you walk by.
Epaulet Made in USA Hertling Chocolate Twill Brushed Side Tab RECENT Pants 35 NR | eBay
Maker Epaulet. Across Waist 17.5. Material Cotton. Width of hem opening 8.5. Material underneath hem 1.5. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
I continually do this thing where I sorta forget that I don't live in NYC anymore and there's not much of a need for autumn/winter specific clothing in Los Angeles. Or maybe it's just because I prefer those clothes to spring and summer offerings. Either way, these are great pants. The fabric is really soft and drapes nicely, but they are a bit on the warm side for SoCal. I have a similar shade of pants done up in the same Rudy make-up with side-tabs in a wool/cotton/silk fabric and I realized those were the only ones I was ever reaching for.
Carroll & Co Made in Italy Cashmere Wool Mid Grey Flannel Flat Front Pants 34 #1 | eBay
Width of hem opening 8. Material underneath hem. 5. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
Carroll & Co Made in Italy Cashmere Wool Charcoal Flannel Flat Front Pants 34 #2 | eBay
Width of hem opening 8.25. Notes moth bites on seat. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
Ditto about buying fall/winter stuff that I never really get to wear. For basic grey slacks, you're not gonna find anything better than these. Carroll's now only does custom clothes and their pants are made by Rota. I'm not sure if these were made by Rota the way I'm positive about the Inis sweater above, but if they're not, it's another maker of comparable quality.
BIG GUYS RECENT Spalwart Type A Trail Off White Leather Suede Sneakers Shoes 45 | eBay
Maker Spalwart. Heel Height Flat. Material Mixed. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
Sadly, just too wide for my feet. Loved everything about these shoes other than the fit. They're the best luxe take on a dad sneaker I've handled. Also made me chuckle that my feet qualify for the Big Guys tag.
#1 SUMMER Fibre DiCarta Natural Crushable Panama Self Banded Fedora Hat 7.5 NR | eBay
Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for #1 SUMMER Fibre DiCarta Natural Crushable Panama Self Banded Fedora Hat 7.5 NR at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!www.ebay.com
Another item from Carroll & Co. Was originally $400. I got it for $200 at an end of season clearance sale. Great hat for trips - I packed it in a duffle bag without much in the way of specific care a few times and it still came out looking great. To be clear - it doesn't rebound perfectly to the point that it looks new, but it shows some subtle rumples like a worn-in OCBD, which I always felt complimented the look.
This vest is amazing! Unfortunately, I bouldered my way out of it, because it's too tight in the arm holes/shoulders. If you're a true 38/48 you should snatch it:
LNWOT #1 MENSWEAR Loro Piana Italy 100% Cashmere Black Storm System Gilet Vest M | eBay
Maker Loro Piana. Shoulder seams across 17. Sleeves from shoulder seam NA. Length from bottom of collar 26. Pit to pit 21. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
And here's another casualty from my too-fast love affair with Loro Piana:
LNWOT #1 MENSWEAR Loro Piana Italy 100% Cashmere Camel Unstructured Long Coat 50 | eBay
Maker Loro Piana. Pit to pit 23. Shoulder seams across 23. Sleeves from underarm seam 16. Length from bottom of collar 44. Condition Pre Owned.www.ebay.com
Too big for me, I misread the measurements, but it will be an amazing bargain for whoever ends up with it, because a new one of these is like $5,000.
Both are Storm System.
Hey Spoo - sorry if you already posted this, how long is the shipping promo going (if it still is?), might try and get a box out this weekend!
