ethrift for $45 including postage. How’d I go? They don’t look bench grade - apparently from the 60’s. Happy to just wear this around the house (;

Don’t usually go out Saturday but needed to find something for a retro holiday party. Managed to find some decent stuff while I was at it.

3x Drkshdw totes, Helmut Lang tote and Bottega shoe bags. Looked everywhere for their original contents but alas, nothing.


Ralph Lauren giveaway bag


Polo Country Cords, LBM Cotton linen pants and some Christmas-ready Lulus


Two NWT BB sport coats


Went back today to the same store on day two of 50% off day to look for some scraps. Managed to do okay.

Armor Lux Cardigan


Hand knit Cowichan


Vintage military sweatshirt


Indigo batik print shirt - may use for patching some jeans


A couple #menswear pops for me. Howard Yount trousers and possibly a thread first Vera Sartoria Napoletana shirt. Really wishing it was something more exciting than a shirt, oh well!

Depending on condition, should be able to double your money without too much trouble.

Would be grateful if anyone had recommendations for Brussels.

There's a good chance that I'm going to find myself in London with a couple of days free. My wife is attending a conference that has daycare, so I won't have to cart the kids around. I'd be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on things to check out, epic places to grab a beer, food I have to try, touristy things to do that aren't kid friendly (we'll have a few days of sightseeing with the kids as well) and maybe some local thrifts. If anyone wants to meet up, I'd be game too.

Also, same for Athens and coastal Greece. We're definitely going to Greece for my wife's company's retreat. The London thing is getting tacked on, as the conference is only a week later.

Anyone know the ID on the flag symbol does it mean anything? Only curious because it says sample on it.

That was from their golf line. Think it’s supposed to look like a flagstick flag

I’d start with a little butter, throw
some pancetta in there, then cook them for a few minutes on a medium heat. Beautiful accompaniment to your Christmas dinner.

Go to Cantillon Brewery - favorite beer spot in the world

This is too small for me , but I think this is it:

EXCELLENT! Polo Ralph Lauren S Hunting GREEN Corduroy Coat Leather Elbow Patches | eBay

Excellent Condition. Hunting Green Color Corduroy Jacket with Leather Elbow Patches/Trim. I would call it "Mint" but the collar where the fold occurs is a little matted (see pix). This is the nature of corduroy, but wanted to point that out.
