I feel like your avatar is my avatar either getting shot multiple times, or dancing like Elaine.

Haha, it's a drawing by Robert Longo. He made a bunch of these, cool stuff I think

Try a baby wipe.

Thanks, I'll try!

Alden shell in womens sizes aren't too common and in my (limited) experience they can sell for a good price

Wow, surprising and great to know, thanks for your expertise!

@HansderHund that Mulberry is genuine, just very old. Bit sad coming on the week that Mulberry has announced they are closing one of their two remaining UK factories....

Sad to hear! Thanks for the assist! I assumed it was, but that front patch looked really off. Appreciate it!

First time finding Vuarnet...and a very 1980s director chair that goes with nothing in my house ...but was $5

RIP Charlie Daniels. He was a helluva musician and a great advocate for veterans.

I picked this up today at GW. $6, but half-off day today on grey tags.

I played around with researching Jun Hashimoto, but haven't really learned too much. Is anyone familiar with this designer? Any insight into what this is? The zipper pull says "French Duck Down", and is filled with a small pinch of down.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I’ve been wanting to & have a kobe plug.

 

[Letric]

Isn't this some kinda thing?

Fear of God jeans go for some pretty good money on resale. Lotta fakes out there though.

 

[Pyrrhomaniac]

Yeah, but that one is NWT and sourced from Guatemala!!!

Yes.

 

[Letric]

I'm beginning to think these are legitimate. Can anyone who has experience with this brand or selling their jeans confirm?

The construction quality, fabric weight and attention to detail are consistent with a designer brand. Then there's the riri zippers. *Edit: I just noticed the "MadeIn United States" on the tag... but then the RN comes back to FOG.

Spoiler: Deets

Any of the MN guys - Not clothes related and no idea if it’s up any of your alley or even worth the time flipping but yours if you want it in Mpls. Wife has me doing a clean up and unfortunately I’m too busy currently to do anything with it and she wants it gone figured I’d check before it goes to GW or the curb.
Denon AVR3300 receiver from the college days (believe it works but has been sitting in storage in its box for a couple years)
2 basic black speaker stands
Pair of Polk T15 bookshelf speakers
Hinkley ceiling light NIB we didn’t use when we were going to Reno our old house.
