If it were mine, I would certainly wear it with pride.

Mismatched skirt suit... missing button... $2, you say? Why not.

Thom Browne for Target x Neiman Marcus. Minty. Found on women's sale rack with the St. John. $2.50.

Really? do you know this for sure? i've been trying to find this out for ages and would love it to be true.

I just meant it to mean, everyone else is doing it. It wouldn't surprise me, not that I've seen it in person.

Watch out for the dentist in Minnesota...

Lo siento, el señor Wes, la chaqueta es muy simbatico. Any LA guys ever run into Mark McNairy at the flea market?

Safari (sofarhe) won't fit any of you guys, at least I don't think so.

yeah, it wouldn't surprise me either, they have over 60 official outlets in China(2 in UK, 4 in US).
I had an email convo with them where i repeatedly asked if they make anything in china or is it all in Italy and they would not answer that question, they just asked for photos of my jacket, which i supplied and then they stopped communication even after polite reminder messages.

They let the new hires work on TJ before they graduate to Oxxford. I can imagine the drama in the workroom. It's possible for P&S to be made in China, I haven't seen that tag in person though. There's a good guide, most importantly this: 1.) Every single Paul & Shark item sold has an identifying code on the swing tags, for example, item code i04p702, colour 050, which is navy blue, size tgu, which is a cap size or s, m, l, xl, xxl, xxxl. They also have lot number like 04884-3 on the washing label and the neck label. They start with cop, 103, e05 or e05. Then following this about 5 more numbers go after it.

Thanks for the link. Bookmarked for future reference.

The few belts that I've handled, one of which came from that very store, always have the "Mont" on top of the "Blanc" on the printing on the leather.

Who was it that found the Spuds tee yesterday? Synergy...

 

[Cj52racers]

Love that fueco. Buds all around.

Funny how these things go. Saw this at a stop on the way home. Ventura but has the oxxford button stitch thingee. Whatever it is called.

A few other royal classics there as well and they did not have the stitch.
