Im a Jesuit. not offended.


Live how J.C and the crew would have. -loose as fawk, with a strict moral code.
get drunk, throw down, feed the homeless..

Learn yo Bibles son. J.c was the original gangsta. a robin hood who held real power.
no doubt he would stand his ground. held off an entire army, tough 'till the end. legacy for millenia.

i don't care your religion. but my religion? straight steez.


yeah. i read my Bibles.
and got no hate for nobody. as was taught.

Wait, hold the presses; @Thrift Vader is a Jesuit. Man I did not see that coming! We know him as a man of the cloth, but usually that cloth is part of a BAPE or Yohji Yamamoto ensemble, not priestly vestments. And what about the other requirements? The vow of poverty won't be a problem since the man is a champion thrifter, but the vow of chastity may come as a surprise to Mrs. Vader.

And I'm no expert on Japanese imperial edicts or anything, but since Tokugawa Ieyasu expelled the Jesuits from Japan way back in 1614, (and who knows if that has ever been repealed), our man may need to relocate. I'd offer up a spare bedroom but the kid's home from college and all, you understand. Anybody else got a guest room for a brother in need? (All in fun Vader, samu!)

@SpooPoker the Prps are all tagged 38, but every single pair of selvedge I've ever found all seem to Have their sizing chosen by throwing a dart at a board, so who knows, may end up being a 34 waist. I'll measure them up. That also reminds me that there is something Cheetah I need to get verified and shoot you a PM on. Better late than never.

@Mr. Moo i wondered where I dropped my belt. Feel free to send it back to me, haha.


Did someone say gun talk is next on the list? I'll let the pic do the talking. Cheapest think I've ever bought from Sig, haha.

99.9% of the ascot Chang I see is point collar, chipped MoP buttons, and wear around the cuffs and collars - so this was cool to find. Minty ascot Chang with single FC, cutaway high stand collar and covered placket. Plus Irish Linen Ludlow, CdG shirt inside out, PS super 120s in a nice plaid

Today's stuff below,pretty good day after having a bunch of dry ones.


BBBF OCBD, second in the thrifted collection so N/A, Susu white Spread, GBV with almost every tag removed (???), PRL Unlined leather shirt, so sick

Rugby tweed windowpane vest, quarter lined BB1818 fitz in a great windowpane

And these are the two biggest suits I've found in awhile, both are 50L x 45. BB1818 Madison (lardini) and BBGF (Martin Greenfield.)

@silverwarebandit I'm convinced fat guys love BB. I found a current BB Fitzgerald in a 56L last week that I can't photograph at all because it just looks stupid on everything

 

[vexco]

Oh and more stuff. Everything available before it hits ebay.

 

[silverwarebandit]

@vexco 56L? What was the waist???

 

[vexco]

@vexco 56L? What was the waist???

I had that shirt about 10 years ago. I love the idea of black t-shirts but never seem to wear them more than once or twice because of the lint.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Not balling like Mr Beretta
