Hell yeah! Thanks for the info @Orgetorix

I was totally going to flip it as-is, but seeing those resto results have inspired me to take on this little project. Good stuff!

Massimo Bizzocchi was (is?) the CEO of Kiton. This is his private line. Quality wise, those ties are near top tier.

He is only CEO for the U.S market. He only sits on the board in Italy. His line is in no way affiliated with kiton.

@DrLivingston

That's how they mark the price so those who like to take tags off the cashier knows the price. It's weird as some stores in the area do it some don't. It seems to have spread a little as I noticed there doing it in @Letric area.

Awesome random vintage haul, but that Sacred Reich shirt is killeeeeer.

 

[JFST]

Anyone recognize this care tag at all? The sweater doesn't have any other remaining tags.

Reminds me of the label Luciano Barbera sweater I found, but this is a wild assumption.

Hey, @the2ndhandman ... what's up with the Roman numerals on the nametags of the shirts?

That's how they mark the price so those who like to take tags off the cashier knows the price. It's weird as some stores in the area do it some don't. It seems to have spread a little as I noticed there doing it in @Letric area.

Yep. The Goodwills around here generally mark every item $8 or more with either Black Ink pen or some kind of white crayon or something. The crayon generally comes off with a wash.

But the Black ink pen however... They claim it's a washable pen, I've asked before. Some stores use permanent markers like a Sharpie I think? It ruins the shirts/garments' labels. Anyways, the Black marks usually don't come out of jacket linings with a dry cleaning. It will usually come out of shirts when you wash, but sometimes it leaves a yellow stain. I have 2 Cucinelli shirts with yellow stains on the back of the necks, because when I hand washed them in a bucket... that damn black ink bled through and left yellow stains! Have tried everything on the stains but its some crazy chemical reaction bond. I hate it. It's best to wash them right after you take them home, don't let them sit for months.

I understand them taking measures to prevent theft like that, but I feel like it should maybe be the more expensive items? And also mark them in less visible spots. I hope they change it to that some day, but until then I just wash stuff and hope the markings come out. Sucks for jackets though, as they're pretty much permanently marked with X's and stuff.

*Oh I should mention: If you want to wear a shirt with that black marking in the neck, wash it beforehand! Sweat / Rain can make that ink bleed through and stain the shirt, and possible any jacket/sweater/etc you are wearing with it!

I would also hate to sell a shirt to someone and have them wear it, and that black stuff bled and stained it permanently or something else.*

That Undefeated camo sweatshirt and the Bart boot are just unreal.

One pit stop while waiting for my food.
Puhtaytoe pics....guess the buttons

at least the last ones, first two are easy lol.

I was wondering if I'd see those LV jackets on here. Sure, not mainline quality, but not bad either, and pretty sharp looking in person IMO. Also, cheers if you left that vintage blue velvet YSL smoking jacket - fits me perfectly!

 

[GM-H]

For nespresso?

 

[Lirum]

Two things:

How do I research these or sneakers in general? I don't know anything about sneakers but they were $4 and good condition.








Second, what is "the method"? I pass on a lot of shirts I would otherwise get due to collar/pit sweat stains. Also have ~15 shirts in the basement that I'm not willing to list right now with staining.

Anyone ever seen one of those giant promotional Levi's for sale? There's a pair at a local place, size 74 waist / 40 something length. ~$250

Can't find any sold listings for it. Small e, selvedge.

Probably not the best price if the big E one is still available at 450.
