It's clearly fake and your all a bunch of idiots

I think you're right. I don't see a thread loop.

Spacing on the seasoning is way off

Edit: that's the last one I promise

Umm..I can't tell if this is mens or womens. Something about it seems feminine to me.

Cool vintage overcoat that I didn't want to leave behind (I gotta stop doing that)

Original price hand written in lining

Leaf motif (good rap name?) ties. All matchy matchy n' ****.

Hope everyone had a great weekend

Believe it or not, thats not an orphan.

Haha I had to do some research after seeing that. Cucinelli does some weird stuff

I'd be shocked if that Cucinelli was an orphan. Normal rules don't seem to apply to him.

Ya, I just assumed that I couldnt leave it behind for $7, but ya definitely possible, if not likely that its an actual blazer. Crazy

330CK that cooker looks like Darth Vaders and R2D2s baby.

I'll try to take pics with a couple other shirts. They seemed to show way more shirt sleeve. I'm out of town right now though. Still appreciate everyone's feedback. I don't think there is extra fabric for sleeve alterations - I assume that would be obvious upon inspecting inner liner?

Pattern rocks for sure.

PM'd.
If anyone else wants to know what I was thinking, PM me.

EDIT:
Oh, I meant to mention. Here's a shot of a jacket with the sleeve ends mitered. This means you have only 0.5-0.75 inches to let the sleeves down.

Compare that to this, which is a sleeve with the sleeve hem folded over, and with much more material to let out. This is actually a Fallan & Harvey with working cuffs, so don't assume you can't let down working cuffs (though it may look a little odd, since you may be creating an odd visual gap between the hem and the button).

Yep done. I think its a bloody mary and beach day.

In my head, all I hear, all day long, is Billy Idol's "More More More."

Truth. I occasionally get migraines after exercise and I swear by Pedialyte and coconut water.

Noted.

Hey, anybody have a black suit in the 38-40r range? Thanks.

Been a while since I had anything brag-worthy, so I've been living vicariously through you guys!

Thanks to the women's section gods at Goodwill. Also, kind of sad when their prices are significantly less than other stores, most of the time.

Size EU 50, available in all it's gnarly/insane glory:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Someone needs to wear the hell out of this!

PS - someone found a pair of RM Williams boots in a UK8 the other day. Meant to PM you, so hit me up if you see this!

GOD I'm so tempted to say "Challenge Accepted." But I need to be a good little boy.

Thrifty, but not clothes:
Picked up 28 golf clubs for $50. Did minimal research to see that at least two of them would sell for more than $50ea, took a chance on the rest. Have been very pleased with the results so far.













+21 more, and these aren't the ones that I knew I could sell for $50 or more.
Also, I know almost nothing about the equipment I'm selling, so if any golfers here want to point out any gross errors in my listings, I would appreciate it.

My birthday present today.

ETA: Oh Heck, also pleased with the initial results of the half mannequin on a hanger as well:



It is good to finally get the things needed to really make the clothes look nicer.

Haven't had much time or drive to go thrifting lately. Had an hour or two to kill with my son, found one thing worth getting.

Pretty sure this is vintage forest service, as it appears it used to have a ranger patch on left shoulder. Size large, will be going up on that other site.
