1099K Campaign - Q4 2023

While the IRS has temporarily delayed implementation of the new $600 threshold for receiving 1099-K tax forms, Americans who sell online need a permanent solution. Without a permanent change, these forms will be issued for the sale of virtually all goods, even used or pre-owned goods, even when...

Somebody needs to tell the IRS about Grilled’s 9% fees. Ain’t nobody making money with these sales 🫠

13% total for The Bay or Bay + PayPal.

I wouldn't normally sign with the lobbying efforts of a corporation, but in this case we share the same interests - I want to be able to resell and I don't want them (or any platform) haphazardly handling advanced PII just to catch up with some regulation they are not interested in administering.

I'm liking these:

They also threw up another Kenmare in guncheck (looks ok):

They also have some LL Bean-style chamois workshirts. And they have a restock (only in Regular) for the alpaca geo sport coat.

My favorite part of this collection is the chair in image #2.

 

[whorishconsumer]

It's good chair

Anyone have recs for sweatshirts that are shorter in length?

Looking for pit to pit around 22in +/- 1 in and back length ~24 or a touch shorter

Feel like most of the Japanese brands are on the longer side. Warehouse 404 may work but was hoping to source other recs.

I like this jacket. Does anyone know what it is?

Anyone heave recommendations for suede trucker jacket? I am thinking I want a type III fit. Probably bit of a modern detail like unlined and longer in the body, as opposed to Japanese 30lb workware. So far what I've seen and liked is Valstar (nice that it's unlined as it fits my sot of comfortable use case) and mainline Polo.

edit: ah, yall talked about this about a year ago I see now. If anyone went with something they liked, please chime in

I would ask dieworkwear since it was in one of his blog posts.

It's a tough find, in my experience. Todd Snyder's is unlined.

If you scour eBay and Etsy you may find a vintage Levi's or Polo that works for you.

Anyone familiar with this brand? I’m looking for a boxy merino wool sweater and this looks to fit the bill. Open to any recommendations too.

I’d encourage you guys to check out the alpaca scarves, stoles and blankets that we’re doing with @Epaulet . 5% of the proceeds are going to ALS.org, at least. I say at least because I’m considering donating more of Styleforum’s commission to the overall donation. Just depends on how many we sell to cover our costs. Anyway, here is the link for the guys who don’t read the newsletter: https://www.epauletbrand.com/collections/alpaca-project
