Today, aside from the shell ...

It ain't LP baby cashmere, but it also didn't cost $120

 

[flipstah]

Some finds but didn't buy. Too big for me

Better pick of the University shoes. Is this walnut? Looks too dark to me for walnut. View attachment 907972

Looks more like AE Bourbon with that lighting.

Hey guys I have a quick question. The Brioni cashmere I posted earlier fits me perfectly and I’d like to replace the normal navy buttons on It with some gold or silver Brioni buttons. Does anyone know where I might be able to find these? Searches on the bay aren’t really effective

Kühl

When I was doing some research on that jacket I found a few days ago (turns out its Outdoor Life, i.e. Sears), I came across that Kühl Burr. They're virtual carbon copies, same articulated elbows and shoulder gussets. The only visible difference are the zippers (YYK vs. NEO) and branding. I wouldn't be surprised if the came from the same manufacturer in China. I love mine, they're both the perfect weight for a light spring jacket.

Wait.....what?

 

[thefastlife]

$150 is allot of money to some people. Especially us who frequent the thrift store and with persistence will find it for $10. I would of left it as well.

I sold a used Baby cashmere with a hole in it for 3 hundo, I would have put everything back and got just that

Is this being put to a vote? Lol. Pass for me!

If he would have went to a thrift and saw 12 Brioni jackets at $10 each would he have bought?

Yes.

If he has persistence and will find a NWT LP 100% Baby cashmere sweater?

I haven't in 20 years.

I would of left it as well.

Lay down one to make 3+ in a week?

Bad pass, but

YMMV

I found two at the thrift store last year for less than $25. They are out there.

I'm with you, but not everyone is in this for financial gain.

Some people want deals, and that's fine.

Some want to make money, and that's fine.

But don't crap on someone just because they don't have the same approach as you do.
