Are the scotchgrain 8.5 US?!

 

[WoolyLamb]

I dropped off the LHS to get new heel-stacks put in and there was a goodwill close by so I had to stop. Not a normal stop for me but never been to this one either so I said why not. Glad I did. Pop on Cooke Street for me.

Are the scotchgrain 8.5 US?!

Yes, but...Sold same day...

 

[Letric]

Well, I purchased the shipping label on Sunday... Dropped them off today (Monday) at the Post Office.

Today was piss. Two big stores and 4 hours later.

Thrifts have been pretty dry, but here is some stuff from the last two trips out.

First, the boring stuff.

Two made in China Barney's partially-lined sport coats. I normally wouldn't pick these up, but it's rare for me to find stuff in my size (36R) and the Zegna Cross-Ply fabric feels like it'll be perfect for spring and summer.

Ralph Ralph Lauren (Not the exciting kind, the Dillard's kind) unstructured sport coat. The fabric on this one is a nice summery blend.

A&F cardigan was only $3.99. again, not something I would normally pick up but I figured it might be worth trying to flip for some pocket change.

More interesting things:

Vintage (?) Ralph Lauren Purple Label Tie, Made in England.

Our Legacy First Cut, Nudie Selvedge, and Diesel x 2. I'm always apprehensive about buying Diesel given how volatile pricing seems to be on the secondary market and how many fakes there are out there, but they seem to be back in trend (somewhat) after Glenn Martens took over as creative director.

18 East. Very soft, might be a keeper.

Double-breasted 6-Button Brioni Sport Coat in 20% Wool - 80% Cashmere Houndstooth. My phone couldn't capture the color very well, but it's a lovely orange and black. Presumably vintage given the lack of a vent, and the previous owner seems to have removed the main label for some reason.

Finally, a bespoke tuxedo jacket from 1939. Officially the oldest clothing item I have thrifted, and despite having some holes in the lining, I couldn't bring myself to leave it on the rack. Not even sure if there's a market for this kind of stuff, but my girlfriend likes it and strangely enough might end up keeping it for herself (no idea what she'll pair it with, though). Anyone know if something like this is safe to take to the dry cleaners?

Love the DB pattern.

 

[eazye]

There is a market for those, I sold one from 1911 the other day. They don't fetch a ton, but if you get them cheap you can make $100-200 if you wait long enough.

There's just a certain "look" to those older Brioni DB's that is perfect. I remember finding a whole bunch of em one time that had been tailored by CT Courtoué in San Francisco. When I looked up that tailor I found this interesting article:
