it says Kramer, 1967.

i'll bet it was drawn/printed by somebody named kramer, possibly in 1967,

“We want the Kramer”

Any recommendations for getting smoke out of ties? Just picked up a stable of grenadines, but they all have cigarette smells. Would hate to return them. They are mint minus the smell.

I bought a whole box of ties that all reeked of cigar smoke, so they were fairly dank. Cheap enough to try, though. I simply let them air outside in a dry place for a few days, this took care of most of the odour. I was actually surprised that it worked so well. I sold a bunch of them, never had any complaints.

favorite find since the Dali elephants...bronze elephant bookends on jadeit(?), sadly only one tusk has survived—I believe they’re made from ivory as well. my guess is that these were made sometime between the 40s-60s.

Found the pants first, couldn’t find the jacket, gave up, found the jacket in the counter because someone was going to buy it and changed their mind

Just found these at a local charity shop last week! Frank Brothers for Johnston & Murphy, one pair is brand new. Not exactly my size...but I might have to make them work!

Had some pretty cool finds this week from unexpected places, all true thrift.

First wild bear sighting, pretty psyched.



Very minty current HF in my size.



Older, good looking VENTED Canalis, also my size.



Edgar Pomeroy bespoke suit. Wasn’t familiar with him although he was based here in my hometown. Beautiful suit with amazing detail.




Burberry navy wool overcoat.



Burberry SC.



This is pretty interesting. Quick google-fu from the field showed some crazy pricing but time will tell. Vintage 1989ish Thierry Mugler womenz jumpsuit. Just screams “Miami Vice”.

Big E, but not exactly what we’re looking for, right? Couldn’t say no at true thrift.
Talon 42 zipper dates them to the 60s. My size, so if not really desirable no big deal.

Anyone heard of United Colors of Benetton "Type De Nimes" line?

Found one for 50% off but the previous owner went cray with the My First Embroidery and it's covered in gaudy beads and lace. I plan on gutting it off the beads because I like this pattern they put on. $10

Made in Italia mmm.

Found two pomeroy suits out here in Arkansas last year, super impressive work. Found very few comps so I ended up leaving them

Quick and dirties from the last 2 days.

Filson for a big guy and Filson for me

More shirts for me that I don’t need

Dope ass jacket that I thought might be EG or something.

Not EG at all. Still dope af. Need it to warm up like 30 more degrees before I can wear it though.

Orphan... but only one care-tag snip away from being a blazer Alternatively might get the sleeves lengthened and keep it for myself.

raided twelve thrifts today. ppu well under 10

Who treats Prada pants like this? No one even tried to clean them. It's just along the edges luckily, should clean up great.

couple nips

Is that velvet? If so, I know where it belongs.
