This^

Estate sale in Greenwich that didn't advertise clothing at all, and was BY FAR the best clothing sale I've been to. Crazy **** - Loro PIANA cashmere robe, Lattanzi croc belt for 10 bucks, all the vapors of the shoes and jackets, a ton of quality beaver felt hats, etc. I ended up with 3 pair of what feel like cashmere angora blend socks by accident after the dude threw em in at checkout. Got both Flusser books too. Legit stuff...

Loro PIANA cashmere robe

I think my third nut just dropped.

Tag/estate sale companies are the worst.
It blows my mind how much cash they loose their clients.

Sooo... I knew I was hitting this in someone's wake as a lot of the clothing was gone, but...

...you still did pretty damn good. Fret not the Hermes.

Good god. Congrats. Those CT ones always look so promising.

Yes, but I would be fretting like a motherfucker.

He didn't - I spoke to him outside, he said he liked the colors figured they had to be worth something, wanted me to verify if they were legit. Asked me how much I thought they were worth. My facepalm was unstoppable.

I woulda been like..

I told him he made maybe $5k and he almost wet himself. Had to make somebody's day.

I don't know a better place to have a first post. Do excuse my camera quality. Some of my more recent neck wear finds:






Apparently this one retailed at $47.50, only if BOC was at that price today! Obviously pre Nordstrom. I found 3 more BOCs at the same store.




I don't believe Southwick has an MTM operation for neckties, but just in case, I've blacked out the name out of respect for privacy, whether he's with us or not. This one, I'd say, has more "heft" than three of my BOCs. It ties a thicker knot and is, of course, proudly hand made in Canada! It doesn't have bar tacks, instead having a reinforced, with much thread, advanced slip stitch that still feels sturdy.


NEXT TIME:
D'avenza suit jacket and more fun with ties, possibly Cheaney loafers.

@sashae if that was someone's wake, I would hate to see what you missed.

Also, after UPS telling me yesterday that my e thrift was lost, it magically appeared today...

Attolini.,.handrolled...cashmere...grenadine...solid navy....$11.

Pretty sure someone just sewed a Tom James tag into a Gloverall coat. Look how bad and uneven the tag is sewn on. Why someone would do that, I have no idea.

Actually I think that's a TJ cuff weight/reinforcement from a pair of pants.
