Hmm ok thanks for the feedback guys, still learning the ropes. Will definitely keep a sharper eye out but I guess the only older Burberry stuff I've ran across are sport coats that are not great quality which did not appear to do too well when I looked at closed listings.

They made the switch from Burberry's to Burberry London (with a blue label) in like 99 and as a results the problem with Burberry's blazers/suits is they are dated. I know some people here can do well with them but as you've seen from sold listings it's generally a good idea to pass, especially while you learn what's licensed and what not. But other items like jackets, dress shirts, etc keep an eye out for

And hey 500th post

There's something about tuxedo bear that just makes you smile lol

Old Burberry Blazers with metal knight logo buttons I usually kop if cheap just to harvest and resell the button, those always do well and turn quickly

So.. I e-thrifted a LB Luxury Vintage Sorrento






Then this weekend happened..

From today:

NWOT Barba




NWT Kitty




Kitty ties





Non-vented Kitty cash




NIB Alden drop








Oh yes.




Big ups to Coach @SpooPoker for the estate sale lowdown and etiquette. This was my first.

I'm a smart guy and woke up with 2 hours of sleep at 7am the morning of with a massive hangover due to very very poor decisions the previous night, but I kept truckin.

Ended up going today as well to pick up a few other things on the cheap.

To all the estate sale veterans.. you guys would have been quite proud of my heaping pile of pre-sort swag I was able to build up. This one's for you:


RL Home. All made in Italy. Did NOT pay those listed prices.. haha!






Between the Sheets duvet cover. $999 MSRP and I picked up two of them. Looking forward to lying in this after I bathe in Perrier.


Dyson V6 Animal with all tools




Manfrotto 3205 and 190XDB with 390RC2 and 3130 heads


Mint Boss pants and wool beanies




Borrelli




Wilkes croc belt






New single button peak lapel Zegna tux






Spoo called out that these were JM Weston from the sale preview potato pictures. Sure enough, they were.













Then this..





*******..





happened.







NA on these for now.

Also, forum, if you're into streetwear and haven't heard what these guys are doing, I'd give their YouTube a look. It's a buy/sell/trade put together by a few people that has taken off.

Is this Prorsum? It doesn't say Prorsum anywhere on the tags but it looks similar

No

FWIW the content tag matches a SS09 Prorsum women's coat that I found a few weeks ago and some of the legit Prorsum listings on eBay. Not all of them say Prorsum on the content tag.

 

[ClosetEvolution]

I finally have a haul worth posting!!! Pictures of items will come as the week goes on, but here's a sneak peek.

Yea it doesn't say Prorsum on the main tag either but like you said I've seen similar listed as Prorsum

 

[double00]

on that Prorsum, shouldn't you be able to find it in whatever season collection?

It's a awesome spot. They have sweet deals on stuff that's hard to find. They have snow beach and p-wing stuff on the walls in mint condition. Then pinks is across the street for lunch as they don't open till noon.

Came across this gorgeous, current Hickey Freeman navy blazer in a soft wool/silk blend. My size. Soft shoulders. Partially lined. Gorgeous.

******* motherfucker. This asshole chopped off at least two inches, totally ruining the "balance" of the coat. ******* heartbreaking. It would have been my new go-to navy blazer.
