Recent purchases - Part II

[Dorje]

i can't bring myself to buy angel's envy. just seems really overpriced to me
i need to re-up on four roses.

Angel's is worth trying if you can find it on sale, it was $35 when I bought it and I think that's a fair price. For $50+ I think there are better options. It is good.... overhyped yes, but still good.

Four Roses is great. I got a special run ordered by my local (large) liquor store, Liquor Mart. Barreled in '03.

Can you say more about this?

Based on the tags, stitching, Unite! label ( produced by a union), and the fact that it's a made in the US product (goes without saying given the other info), I believe it's made by Southwick, makers of generally traditional, well made American business suits. There aren't that many good American/Union manufacturers out there, and the style of the tag, stitching etc. makes me lean towards Southwick.

https://www.southwick.com/

Oxxford uses very similar styling in their labels, "XXX" stitching, etc. but their price point is 2-3x Southwick and I am not sure that they have done work for other brands in the past. Southwick has made suits for Paul Stuart, Cable Car Clothiers, etc.

All of that to say, 1) I am surprised that Cloak was made in the US (always assumed Italy), and 2) the Cloak jacket you have is not only fashionable and cool looking, but also very well made inside and out.

CP With cooler/wet weather coming it will be nice to have some non suede sneakers to chuck on.

 

[melonadejello]

Good job, those are pretty much my favorite CPs I've ever had.

 

[elisiX]

In all the sneakers I own, not one is a pair of white Achilles - pretty much a staple.

Good job, those are pretty much my favorite CPs I've ever had.

Wish they'd release these again, not suede.

Nice pickup elisix. Can't believe the madness that is CP pricing I paid 200 for Achilles now look what they're asking...don't think I paid more than 180 for gats either and charging half g for those damn

I would argue that el Bert is making a strong run for that title

Elbert is good people , but there are many a pretender to my throne
vice chancellor of kopland , perhaps !

he's the enabler in chief!

What about that oud oil tho?

 

[elisiX]

I managed to get these for $200 which was lucky.

Would still like to get the new BBall highs though.

Screw paying anything close to retail however.

 

[einstine]

^Yea, new bballs look awesome and I can not believe TBS didnt get them with the first pick up ...makes me so mad.

 

[PDinh]

Spring / early summer uniform re-up along with 5 Everlane white tees.

 

[Hirsh]

Today I didn't buy clothes as I have shirts and jeans on order to pay for!


Instead I bought:

1.Sterling silver Bow stone set Ring, to stack with my other 2 rings

2.two tubs of Vitamin K2

3.Sterling silver picture frame, which I framed a design of a Yellow Diamond Ring in to lust after!!

 

[Mr. Moo]

I had no idea they were able to extract vitamins from that mountain.

[artishard116]

couple things i like from the plokhov haul:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

band collar sleeveless shirt (bring it on summer)
tanker pants I already had but in gray
short lace up boots

Also got this long shirt with a drawstring at the bottom that I really dig. Good for layering or as a light weight jacket. Will take pics one of these days.
