I feel like I’m picky but not THAT picky lol
I know what you mean though. See all the right deets then a bit of a let down when you peep the red tag.

Good haul in Europe but back to reality today.

I read that as "if you can fit into 501's....."

These LVC 501xx 1933 are pretty cool actually. I may slim and shorten them ever so slightly.

Just about as old as it gets for Hanover.

Those purps though.

They're cool, but honestly not my favorite pairs out of all of them!

So much cool stuff here! Love the Anon ones and I'm super jealous that you can wear the big lens Carrera/Porsche Design stuff. I love it but it just looks silly on me. Thanks for sharing!

Oh they look silly on me as well. After a while, I just accepted the fact that they're oversized and that's the design, to be giant. I recently listed a pair of Jean LaFont because while I loved the shape, they really made my face look giant. Anyway, thanks!

Recent finds...

Nothing available at the moment.

I found this exact jacket a couple of months ago and couldn't pinpoint the profession. Really cool design. I found it again with a patch on the sleeve and NWT, so I finally figured out to which profession it belongs: Wiener Linien, for a tram driver.

Lightweight waxed leather jacket:

Z Zegna are new with a few light stains throughout.

These were so cheap I grabbed them, probably a mistake:

Collar shredded on the Etro, but I would have worn it if it were for men.

I just mentioned how I rarely see Coach and don't really bother with it, but this is NWT, probably from an outlet.

Super expensive traditional clothing. Similar vest in the same fabric on still on the website at €435:

Blue shirt is old and beat up (in a good way) and I liked the fabric and fit.

Recent finds, continued...

Shearling lined boots:

Gail Spence Design No Six in aluminum:

I've mentioned before that I collect old photos. Not sure what I'll do with them, but I find them interesting. Anyway, flipped through this small album and saw it was all of someone's dog, an Airedale like mine. I also have no impulse control when it comes to Airedale-related things, so I bought it of course.

I flipped through it and there were photos of this guy's dog from 4 months onward. Really neat. Christmas photos, hiking photos, the dog's birthday, etc. were all included. The last photo was captions "My best friend." I turned the next page and saw that they included the dog's death certificate. He was only 7. Now I know that the photos were from the '50s so there was no way that either the dog was alive, but it still hurt quite a bit.
