I successfully exercised restraint in buying this 1980s Oxxford herringbone suit this morning. $25 shipped. an inch too big in every direction... But the real deal breaker... 22" sleeves. Wtf?

I had visions of my tailor doing something spectacular... But he can't conjure another 2 inches of material for the sleeves.

Eh, I know some of you hate it when I post about **** I didn't buy... But there's no gaziano and Girling left behind this time ;-)

90s ralph lauren dungaree usa flannel lined Jean jacket. way too big... Well worn, but not trashed. I have 60/40 plus cost split with my buddy who lists stuff I find on ebay. Could have gotten it for under $10... But still didn't seem worth the hassle to end up with maybe $40 profit.

Found some reef X Lee usa made selvedge jeans. Way too big at 36" waist. Really clean. Same story as above. Showed them to some hip looking old dude with a scarf and an annoying wife who wouldn't shut up. He bought them. Lol!

Lastly, I was literally in line to pay but left them. Ferragamo sport blue suede shoes Vibram rubber soles. $20. Would have been for personal... But I couldn't think of one good reason to ever wear blue suede shoes. Haha.

More than anything, I enjoy thrifting not only for the hunt, but it calms me for some wierd reason. You don't think of your problems when you're on a quest. Ha!

Quick stop after taking the cat to the vet, he was already pissed. Highlight is an Italian wool overcoat from Higbees in Cleveland, its like it came out of a 60 year time machine.

Haha, nice. The glass case — I know it well. If you’ve never been, Recycled Books, Denton’s three story converted opera house, could blow your mind, and there might even be some fodder if you know what to look for. (Best find was a $400 Nathalie Sarraute book for $5...though I haven’t been able to part with it).

Any chance in hell this Hermes belt is real?

 

[thomas199023]

Is it still ‘No Brioni left behind’?

Found this suit top today. Good condition but no sign of any pants. Took it home anyway, as it was only 7€ But would this be able to flip at all?

If that’s fake that’s a really good fake

Also found some fun ties this week
5x Profuomo Silk and Made in Italy. (“Italian” Dutch brand but they make some great ties)


And another Brioni, but this time a tie. Totally different store than where I found the suit top.



First time finding Brioni in Netherlands. Can’t believe I found two items in one week.

@HansderHund: I like the Burberry tartan and the red/blue/yellow striped, although the latter looks like it needs a dry clean.
@eazye: What's the connection? "Dack's" sounds like "dicks"?
