California Dreamer and perfume bros,how did I do on this for 4.99?

I am guessing this briefcase is fake? The leather (if its truly leather) feel stiff and there are no manufacturers labels anywhere on the inside.

I dunno looks like this https://www.persamannewyork.com/col...oducts/mario-briefcase-saffiano-leather-brown but missing the metal hardware in the middle...could be a second. But I'll defer to any other experts. i have never handled Persaman before.

Not familiar with the brand, but those wrinkles indicate PU 'leather' to me.

$40:

How do I tell for sure this is an original and not the reprint they sell on Amazon for $150? I mean, I'm sure it is, but you know.

Perhaps the original printing date is located somewhere on the margin, or in the small print below the image.

This is gross. Also I need better footwear to stick it to the cold

Not familiar with the brand, so just wondering: any reason you think it's fake?

Recently found this Filson miusa jacket. Can anyone identify the model? I can't find it anywhere online..

It just feels like cardboard and not something you would expect to have an MSRP of $550. I found a few reviews on Nordstrom Rack and most gave it 1 star and complained about the quality. NR were selling it for $149.
I only paid $5 and I didn't have time to really investigate it in the store. If my wife won't use it the kids can keep their artwork in it and markers.

That's what I thought, but I can't fond one with side pockets like this one.

Fun times in the field.

No doubt. Speaking of which, I ethrifted my best 80s grail, and it will be here either today or tomorrow. I’ve been waiting for this one for almost 30 years...

Woohoo!

Spoiler

It was an awkward time in my life, 8th Grade. My parents were too cheap to buy yearbooks that year. I remember my mom saying, “You won’t want that in twenty years!”

Well guess what? 20+ years later, I set up a saved search on eBay that finally yielded fruit in 2019.

The dominant fashion for girls was the Hair Bear look. I think the winner was the one who took up the most area of their yearbook photo.

My 9th grade yearbook photo has my name as Glen Danzig. That’s what happens when your school lets you write down your name for your yearbook photo
