Does this look familiar to anyone?

Dog made of tie silk, many seams sewn by hand. No markings, tags or signs of a tag having been removed, so I'm guessing Ralph Lauren store display? Cool nonetheless and will go in my library...as soon as I get one.

Possibly a store display. Reminds me of the dog I have. Made by a friend of my grandfathers. After he died she made my brother and I these out of one of his shirts.

Any idea who makes these,not available...not even one bit.

Northampton would be Edward Green wouldn't it?

I saw my first Loro Piana and Zegna labels today. I passed on both. The LP was Tasmanian Hickey Freeman MTM from early 2000s. Not my size, and tagged for more than I wanted to spend, but I'm kind of regretting that and considering picking it up if it's still there tomorrow.

The Zegna (fabric) was with a huge donation of 5-10 MTM suits from a local tailor, all from the early '90s. All hard 3 button, peak lapel, low gorge. I was hoping there would be also donation of high end ties and squares, but there was nothing.

It's not raining brioni or zilli but hope some fits if not turn it to fodder. Merry Christmas

I really love when you find a suit hanging in a matching hanger
Sammy super 110's

@the2ndhandman that baller Brioni jacket is your thrift karma for sending that insane gift.

The best of the goodness that followed that LP robe:





Actually just found the pants to this "sport coat" I picked up the day before, Caruso for Barneys. The clerk actually gave me a deal when I told him that I had bought the coat to the suit the other day.

 

[Restomod]

Sport Coats/suits ... How much larger than your regular size is appropriate to have my tailor alter? I wear a 40R, and knowing how big I can go will open some options.

 

[txwoodworker]

It's generally not worth it for major alterations to coats IMO. Wait for the right thing to come along, adjust sleeves, that's all I do.
