A quick plug for Rave Fabricare:

I thrifted these filthy peccary gloves in February for a $1. Sent them to Rave about a month ago and got them back yesterday. Definitely isn't cheap, but I've always been blown away by their work.

Highlights of the last couple days. Back from vacation.

Womens leather jacket

This is a really cool piece... Can anyone confirm is this is Spencer Hart? The jacket is almost see through and its some sort of weave.

Corn

@Fueco or others - Found these in two in different stores. The first is a reversible but I cannot find tags anywhere, not tucked in, hidden, or even remnants where they might have been cut out? Am I missing the secret spot or is this one destined for the re-donate pile?



The only other suspect item is how these are sewn. Either a bad repair job, or ?






Next up, Similar to the current Patagonia Downtown Women's Jacket, but the sleeves look a bit different. Legit?



Tons o' Tags (which is poly, which is down?)













Thanks all!

Pretty good 2 days. Partridge coat and cruciani sweater NA. look up completeds on the 8 ball Jacket lol. I've been hunting one of those forever. Made me happier than the Brunellos haha.

also 99% sure that Schott is horsehide but no labels. Looks like its missing a zip out. anyone have leads on where to find a replacement?

...Why you listing that under a different, rarely used account? Por que? (If you don't mind my curiosity)

I kinda figured based on location which is why I asked, was curious as to why he chose to use such a sparsely used account with seller rep built from his other... seemed like a strange choice to me....also since the other item he posted, the Cucinelli is listed on his more highly rated and used account..

I am sort of testing a theory involving 2 different "Buying Atmospheres". 1 for workwear, denim, outerwear, etc. 1 for highend sartoria, suits, ties, etc.

Also, taxes.

Found a Tom James custom (not sure if bespoke) suit for $7.99. No fabric label. Passed because it was from '93 (with all that that implies) with a short inseam. Did I make a mistake? Also a nice Southwick linen/cotton sport coat w/ real MOP buttons that I also passed on because of sizing. Don't know if the flipping thing is for me, so I'm only buying pieces I can wear.

My best thrift find so far (for me) was 5 current J.Crew mainline shirts in my size with no signs of wear.

I need to find better stores.

Good passes, bro. Southwick, IMO, is good for self. Tom James can be, as long as the fabric is nice and it's well cut. But nether are going to sell quickly or for a ton of money.

Recent finds...




I'm going to cut this one to make pocket squares...as soon as I get caught up with those I already need to make

If you ever wanted to sell me a pocket square, this would be the one to offer.

Gonna need an assist with this one boys.wtf is this.?
HERMES liner ,I have a feeling the maker is under scarf but i dont wanna damage it.
Incredible detail.any ideas?






Thats the scarf

Whoa.

 

[SpooPoker]

Working on a Saturday necessitates a thrift break. I took a breif one. I copped ****. This ****.

T&A, Gucci, Carroll & CO made in England by Cravats, a surprisingly nice looking Talbott, navy wool Zegna, Brooks Makers


Burberry London FF washe navy chinos, Comme Des Garcons Homme black wool slacks

Gucci and probably the most tasteful Etro I've ever seen.


Total blind thrifting here but ******* it's the weekend, just saw a nice tailored navy blue velvet blazer that was awesome and made in Engalnd which is my weak spot, pulled the trigger.



Not as blind here. S.Schneiders & Son Harris tweed made in England


Charcaol gray nailhead BB Fitzgerald w/ Saxxon wool

Seemingly brand new Pal Zileri Su Misura

Had to pull the trigger on this even though this is tailored made for @SpooPoker auction and I have no clue where to begin with it. Lanvin Black Metallic 100% Silk vest


And then what looks to be a nearly brand new Belvest suit

This is my favorite part though.


That is all.
