I disagree with you guys on the brioni suit and sc. I have had brioni suits/sc's that were older that had a black necker. They actually said brioni, but that's not always the case with the old ones. The one thing that is kind of odd is the pants with the stripe. I haven't had a pair like that yet most of the really one ones were just white band. To me... that's 100% Brioni. I will wait for someone wiser to chime in.

Sorta dry lately. Both available. Alden shell tassels 9C in color #8 and Florsheim Imperial longwing shells 11.5B.

 

[dukedishin]

Lol pretty much over the past 2 weeks, though, that's it. A few other things I'll be posting later but not much.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but if you're eyeing something on the 'Bay, there's a flash sale code,
"C15LIMITEDTIME" that seems to expire at 5pmPST today.

Tags entirely removed... but them mops dont lie! available; probably ~44

Oddly enough, both @Nataku and I have found Brioni cashmere pools that were missing the tags and only identified by the buttons. Ours were black, but still odd.

I also picked up a Brioni suit months ago without the brioni lining. Neck tag and inside tag seems ok though. I haven't done anything with it because I can't confirm if it's authentic or not.

Only other real pickup lately. Someone take this off my hands before it goes to ebay. Tagged EU 56R. NWT. Beautiful texture.

 

[matty long legs]

One stop. One find. NA at the moment. Waiting to see if my dad likes it and it fits him. 46R.

Consensus on authenticity here? Colors are vivid and label looks good to me but the silk doesn't feel like I imagine it would...only my second time handling Ricci.

1 hunnid. What your feeling are the results of when marsupials allow Ricci silk to be exposed to dry cleaning chemicals. Donzo.

A few cool things today, but these made my day. It's rare to find records these days, especially in the condition these are in.

My two favorites: ltd ed Police shaped like a badge and one I've been hoping to find forever, The Wall by Pink Floyd.

Only Einstein on the Beach is available--picked that one up because it'll more than pay for the rest of them.

That's a pretty good haul. I too had to wait a while to pick up The Wall, but I think I paid 50p or £1 when I did get it. Funnily enough, Einstein on the Beach would be my pick of the bunch - it's a shame you aren't in the UK or I'd be interested.

Moar shirts... One stop.

Score on the All Things Must Pass album. The spine on that looks perfect. These are hard to find, let alone with a box/cover in good shape. That Police picture disk is crazy!
