Spoiler: SOLD

Many items to post in the near future, but just now:

I'm selling a brand new with tags Gitman EFF shirt: the "Warmth of the Sun" Ombre Check, in size Medium. This was just delivered yesterday. I'm selling immediately because I've ordered way too many Individualized shirts in the interim! It's a gorgeous fabric with a seriously unbelievable hand, and a four-season weight. This fabric was very limited and is completely sold out -- i.e. not available in the current Gitman EFF reorder.

Looking for a quick sale, so there's a hefty discount here.

Photos of the shirt, just unboxed:

Bought new for $135. Yours for $95 shipped.

All items ship with free USPS Priority Mail in the U.S, tracking and insurance included. International shipping at reduced cost. All payments in USD via Paypal. First to pay gets the items, and all sales final as with all SF B&S transactions. And as always, feel free to PM with questions.

Can't edit this previous post any more, but this shirt was sold. Thanks all!

Walts sold. Thanks all!

Spoiler: SOLD

As promised, further goods to put up for sale.

I'm selling two classic Walts in deadstock fabrics: the infamous Mocha Wool/Mink/Cashmere and Chessboard Tweed. Both are ludicrously soft and warm, but breathe well enough that they're great three-season fabrics. And they're both just incredibly luxe and have a soft hand. Both have been worn only one or two times, and have been kept in a pet-free, smoke-free home in a closet lined with cedar.

First, Chessboard Tweed. This fabric is surprisingly soft! You don't really associate "tweed" and "soft" with each other, but trust me on this, it's a very soft-handed fabric. I believe this is because there is some very light brushing to it, which causes the multicolor weave to appear like a textured solid from a distance. Up close, you get a great color effect without feeling as though you're wearing a loud patterned pear of pants. It's a great way to do a cool weather trouser in an interesting way. You could easily wear these with sneakers and a casual shirt, too, just as easily as you could wear it with more business casual or formal attire.

Second, the infamous Mocha Wool-Mink-Cashmere. This fabric needs little introduction. It's warm and insanely soft, and also deadstock. It's warm and cuts out wind, but it does breathe and won't constantly overheat you. The brown tone is rich and deep without being too dark -- very much a current brown tone to wear. And they feel like pajamas.

Studio shot first:

Both are size 32 Walts, as indicated in the tag shots, and have 31.5" inseams with full 2" cuffs and interior fabric, so there is plenty of fabric to let out in length. (If you wish, I'll be happy to get the pants let out for you at a professional New York City tailor for $10 per pair.)

Both bought new at retail for, as I recall, $200+ each. Both of them are yours for $125 shipped SOLD.

PM if interested!

A few more casualties from the closet cleaning:

Blue checked/windowpane Southwick EFF flannel sportjacket

Amazing goods! If only that overshirt were in my size. Someone should get on these incredible items at very fair prices.

 

[Michigan Planner]

@applky - there’s more coming if you (or other folks) need some trousers, mostly size 34 and 35

 

[Patrick R]

That’s my size. As long as the inseams are 32+”.

 

[Michigan Planner]

These might be a bit short for you @Patrick R but maybe you can be a trendsetter and bring back floods?

@Michigan Planner - What's the S2S on those blazers? And what is the sleeve length? Any room to let them out a bit too (monkey arms here)?

Thanks!

 

[Michigan Planner]

I'll try to get the shoulders measured tonight. They were ordered as regular length but I had the sleeves taken up about an inch (short stubby sausage arms here) and I think there's about an inch of material in there but I'll get measurements for the sleeves tonight too.

 

[Funcheese]

From the Spring '17 Cottons Collection. Tobacco Italian Double-Faced Twill Walts, Size 32. Brand New. Cuffed @ 33" but can be let out a few inches.

Strong fabric. Excellent price. $125 (Retail for $225)

EP Mulberry Leather Jacket (XL, fits L)

Spoiler: Incredible EP Mulberry Jacket

Absolutely killer jacket in dark brown Italian calfskin. Like new, not even broken in. Worn 2-3 times. Selling b/c it's too tight for me. $325 shipped (US). Retail on this was $850+ I think. Approx. 21.5” pit to pit, 25” BOC to hem, 18.5” shoulder, 26.5" sleeve from shoulder.

Quoted for truth. I had a chance to try one of these on a few years back at one of the NYC stores; its incredible, making this a steal of a price. If it were only in my size...

 

[Michigan Planner]

@espen - Sorry for the delay. I was finally able to get some measurements this morning.

Pearl Grey Flannel
Pit to pit: 21.5"
Sleeves: 33" +1.5" inside cuffs
Shoulder: 18.5"

Blue Plaid Flannel
Pit to pit: 20.5"
Sleeves: 33.5" +1" inside cuffs
Shoulder: 18.5"

LBM Tweed
Pit to pit: 20"
Sleeves: 33.5" +1" inside cuffs
Shoulder: 18"

For reference, I measured sleeves from center of back just below collar, to shoulder seam, to cuff.

Thanks @Michigan Planner !

Question for @Epaulet - for that Blue Plaid flannel in 41 - is there a noticeable difference between a 41 and 40 (if someone already wears a large in EP shirts)? Also - in terms of sleeve length, ideally with the shirts I'd need another quarter inch (maybe a bit more but I deal with it by wearing a watch), in your expert opinion, you think that the sleeve allowance is enough to make it acceptable?
