Found this pretty cool mint leather shirt for myself .
I can only find women's items for the label,surprised at the retail.

 

[Pierson v Post]

Finally removed all the buttons and the pink stitching around every button hole.
Dates from between 1953 - 1962.

My dudes,
Had a hella week. Picked up all kinds of goodies like LPiana, HF tasmanian, NWT Anniversary Brooks, Moncler...Pix later.

But, found a personal grail IN MY SIZE. You know how you buy **** to flip to finance what you want, and in your size, NOT THIS TIME:

This was me at the end of the week:

I was also lucky enough to find some Common Projects in my size a few years back, at a ridiculous price. Not as nice as those, but still had plenty of wear out of them; I've got them on right now, in fact.

Burberry London MI England tie

[Backhand]

...but also kinda sad I didn’t find the pants. :/

here's hoping that someday those pants will turn up and they can be reunited! Gotta set some higher goals occassionally.

I’m in Seattle for a Mock trial Monday. I want to state for the record I did not arrive until today.

This is important because there was a home invasion and the robbers stole a collection of “high end shoes!”

E-thrifted C&J for PRL

And this litho from 1983. Apparently it was a series about the secret lives of teddy bears. It looked too much like a Polo bear wearing lacoste for me not to get it.

Sorry for bumping the price up on those C&Js ?

I seem to have an affinity for these green polo bags, not entirely sure why, but there’s a guy locally who will take em on trade.

Holland & Holland ties are money! Love finding them, generally awesome patterns (often times with a hunting theme), and almost always made by Drake's. The Flusser MTM piece is sweet as well, I've found a few of those throughout the years and am always impressed by how high-quality they are. Too bad most of the brand got outsourced to China, although I know he still does MTM in his New York shop.
