Lovely wallet.

I narrowly missed out on a Zegna accessory e-thrift today. Was bummed out about it.

You bastard.

Full pics, full disclosure it's got some issues re: moths but I'm not gonna leave vicuña, so I'll just have to find a project for it. View attachment 904167 View attachment 904169 View attachment 904171

IME, Ultra Cleaners does a pretty great job repairing woolens.

Thrift synergy...

Shoulder pleats, pick stitching (presumably machined) and vent buttons abound!

I'm assuming that I picked up a nice coat from a random Italian maker who isn't anyone of note. The faux Pal Zileri brand tag is weird. The five(?) inverted box pleats on the back are a bit unusual as well, especially given that one of them hides a centre vent with a three-button closure on it. To top it all off it's belted in the back.

So city coat in the front, country coat in the back. Did I just buy the sartorial equivalent of a mullet?

So the good news -

Been after a cheap 100% angora from a respectable brand to see how my skin reacts -

Found one on eBay, met all my requirements ... 40$!

Then I read the PayPal invoice, and realize I didn't check the seller name ..

Won't say who - but there's a 50% chance I get a used Haines sweatshirt from 1996 packed by someone named Angora.

@Letric those Ricks are trending over on the SW&D forum too

Question: How would the forum dads react to someone picking up their daughter at the front door wearing this?

(Random movie reference: I've come for your daughter, Chuck...)

For a long time - that was my barometer

And to be fair, at that age my friends loved cross colors, Jamaroquai hats and flannels that were 3 sizes to big ..

 

[Mannerheim]

It looks great, probably some unknown maker took inspiration from PZ sartoriale...

Due to holidays and my finals I haven't thrifted for 2 weeks, I feel like I miss grails everyday...

Pal Zileri? Maybe?

Last one from me -

Small e thrift - ranch ox hide (?) mcafees - model macaflex (?)

Fit great - wore today; nice pebbles look.

Never in my life would I think I'd say I'm good on shoes... ( Although...I would like some smooth high polish shells ... Or should I say mortors)

Wait... That's a dude? I thought that is was some Netflix remake of Punky Brewster.

Church's made shoes for McAfee (and eventually bought the brand in the early 90s I think). Ranch Oxhide is the Church's name for buffalo/bison. I have a couple of pairs. Nice shoes

 

[kbadgley84]

Honestly I like everything about that fit except the shoes, I think a pair of mid tops would look way better
