Hello,

First time poster. I recently started reading this thread, and have found it to be very enjoyable. I have learned a lot but I have much, much more to learn. I have a question if you don't mind.
A few days ago I picked up what I think is a very nice item. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me a bit more about this item.

What I think I have is a Burberrys of London wool coat. The label is missing from the coat but I did find a label inside of the inner pocket which says Burberrys London, I have found no other labels. I did a little Google research and found out that Burberry with an S means that this item is pre 1999. Other than this info I have not been able to find out much. This is a very heavy coat and it appears to me to be a very well constructed coat.

I apologise for the horrible lighting and pictures.



The lining is a solid brown color





two buttons on the vent

missing label chain has no markings

Label found on inside pocket

"snaps" holding the chain has what appears to be markings but I can not make them out.






Very nice looking coat and very long, 49" from collar hem.

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me on this item. I am looking for aprox, age and style mostly but any other information you happen to know is very welcome.

indeed made in england.

just shipped out a prorsum coat with that tag today.

_________________________________________

This was my first time doing the gift exchange. I'm totally in from now on. Thanks to hans for taking charge.

We were already PMing earlier today, but huge thanks to capnwes. Getting a box full of fully wearable/useable items was awesome.

Some shirts (wearing the RRL now)


Love these two so much. The sweater is Zegna Yachting and it's my new fave sweater by far.


I posted about how I always wanted a Beavis & Butthead Tommy Pullmyfinger shirt when I was in middle school. I still randomly keep my eye out but haven't found one. Wes, bless his heart, also looked for one with no luck but found this instead. When I put it on last night, my wife smiled and rolled her eyes at me. That's means it's my new hangin around the house shirt, for a while.




Broke these in today by cleaning about 3-4" of snow off my car.


Last but not least, some made in Italy lowball glasses that showed up just in time. Cat broke one of my main whiskey glasses a week and a half ago and then I broke another a day or two later. Also, those coasters were made from that 1930s drive train belt (i think that's what the note said) that Nataku found when he was clearing out that barn this past summer. Wes did some magic and now they're my new coasters. My wife dug the **** out of these. Somehow, I was out of both whiskey and Scotch, so I had to test the glass out with some brandy. It worked.


Again, thanks a ton wes. I truly appreciate every single item, including the handwritten notes. Merry Thriftmas, everyone.

DAMN that is beautiful. I've been thinking about a breton stripe sweater lately and that is soooo righteous. LOOK AT THAT BLUE! look at those raglans! ohmygawd. sweet mercy i am very enthusiastic about this **** right now! good job @capnwes and @My Main Man !

 

[freehand]

good job @capnwes and @My Main Man !

You have both done such an amazing job. There are close family members for whom I would struggle to buy something so perfectly thoughtful. That probably makes me a bad person. Anyway, I'm wishing I hadn't already posted my Thriftmas stuff, I can't compete with you guys!

 

[Spruce Moose]

Got the nicest box of stuff from my thriftmas gifter, @My Main Man

And a totally freaking awesome book.


With chronological photos of the construction of the Gentleman Cave




Thanks so much, my wife and I both teared up a little when I opened it. Very nice thought.

PS. I will find that Tommy Pullmyfinger shirt for you.

Wow, that one hits right in the feels. It's so nice to see the comradery on here.

It was going to my dad so I had them make it perfect: total cleaning, repaired lining, stain removal and fixed a few moth holes. This is the third item I've sent to them and I'm always blown away with what they're able to do. They've removed stains my local specialty dry cleaner said were permanent.

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense. Moth holes are expensive. $150 actually sounds reasonable for the work you describe!

Oxxford. Killer pattern.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Brooks Brothers. Awesome gun club check.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Glad you snagged those. I carried them around the store for a bit, but ended up leaving them because I've been terrible about listing things lately and am determined not to add to my backlog.

 

[Thrift Vader]

any deetz on the price of one moth hole in a Lapel? would like to keep this S/C

Anyone have blackwatch/holiday plaid trousers in a 32-30 to trade (or sell, I guess)?
