Chinese / Japanese? Any help on fabric content? Thanks dudes.

Google search thinks it's Chinese
28% linen 麻布
26% Wool 羊毛
46% Cotton 棉

everything looks pretty similar.

it's Japanese ,and 46% silk.

Japanese also use some alienated Chinese characters when writing , eg these three ( i'm a Chinese and can't read Japanese)

New to Styleforum-- discovered it after a huge thrift win last week, and now I'm hooked. Anyway, I wanted to share the finds that brought me here in the first place.

In short: I'm American, recently moved to Switzerland, and desperately needed some shoes. Found a local thrift shop. Found some shoes that looked like they had no business being in a thrift shop, and it turns out I was right:

First, I found these-- not a bad find:






Not bad, right? For 15 bucks, a great pair of Cheaney shoes. Then... I found these:











Zegna limited-editions. #354/1000. Found them for 20 bucks.

Needless to say, I paid and got the heck out-- I felt like they might change their mind before I left the store. I'll be hitting this place often!

Been hard out here for a pimp. But a few things.

Horn horn, J. Crew cardi, and gator belt are NA, wearing 2 of the 3 as I type this. Uniqlo jacket is unstructured and awesome. Shoes are Church's.

Welcome to the USA! RRL corduroy pants heavily distressed (or are they totally wasted? The crotch and the seat especially. Can anyone comment?)

 

[Thrift Vader]

Wear those. post haste.

[kbadgley84]

Did Alden ever make shoes for women?

Low consignment pricing. spring 2015. Might keep if I can get over the cropped-ness. weird as **** but pretty sick. 50/50 wool silk.
