To all you Volvo loving dudes out there, I pass this every morning, the pride of Göteborg and one of the pillars of the Swedish economy since the 1920s, the Volvo factory. This is were the magic happens.

I have a chance to purchase a full 32-panel Zuber "The Views of North America" 19th century scenery wallpaper. Have you ever tried to resell wallpaper?

Agreed. The curating/removal process is a daunting task. Hopefully, it will find a good home with someone who will appreciate its history.

Dang.... Seeing the word Swedespeed brings me back. Memories of a time when we had no kids and I apparently had a lot of expendable income to throw into my euro car hobby. Fun car, but I do not miss the maintenance costs one bit. My Saab was about the same in terms of maintenance/repair costs, but man were those seats comfortable!

Volvo guy myself (V70) but totaling digging the VW Scirocco in your garage! That was one badass car back in the day!

Spent six times as much on the tailoring as I did on the suit itself, but when the total cost still only adds up to 75$ for something that fits me like a glove I'll consider that money well spent

Spoiler: Bonus pic featuring the coat from the other day

Was there a way to get pee stains out of pants? Bought a zegna su misura 15milmil15 with that side, suits in otherwise great shape

 

[Letric]

The person who does it will chime in I'm sure, but there's a method discussed (even somewhat recently) using a quick dip in bleach and rinsing.

I'm also interested in trying that method out, as I have probably like 6+ Canali/Zegna/Etc suits that have yellowed pants linings.
