So I wanted to put in a small plug for this Charvet sportcoat (mine, thrifted) because it is absolutely gorgeous in person and at $9.99 you'd be getting this jacket at something 99.7% off what it must have cost at Charvet.


The shoulders measure very narrow at 15.25 but what is impossible for Spoo to convey in his listing is that the sleeveheads are cut generously. I thrifted this jacket along with several items from the same donor that lead me to believe he is a pretty standard 34R -- and the rest of the measurements would bear this out. I typically wear a standard 36R with 17.25-17.75" shoulders and I can put this jacket on; it definitely is tight on me but I think someone who usually wears a jacket measuring 16-16.5" could wear this jacket. YMMV of course. Sleeve buttonholes are working.

tagging a couple of folks here who MIGHT fit into this jacket (sorry for the spam!)

Okay, #menswear fans. Mailing these to @SpooPoker tomorrow. Bought the C&J Sydney’s in NYC last November. Bad move on my part as they are a hair too narrow for me it turns out. Size 11 US, 10E UK.

Shirt from NMWA in large. I loved it, wifey despised it. Guess who won?

Stay tuned...

Wow, could you provide details (or further teasers) on that mug/cup/grail that looks like it's made out of abalone?

Its actually a womens cuff, but it photographed so beautifully I had to highlight it. Its by Oscar de la Renta. I sold a bunch of these while I worked there, its all artisanal construction and is perfect for a summer breezy bohemian dress!

Hmmm, I certainly don't wear arm cuffs, and I doubt my wife would wear them. Yet I'm drawn to this...

Perhaps I could use it as a napkin ring...

Oh, well. I'm sure it will get snapped up fast! Worn once, hand washed, hung up to dry according to tag.

I'm really irritated that those C&J Sydney's that were in the same box didn't fit me!
