Those are pretty cool, looks like they changed up their shoe makeups recently, no idea how to tell on those.

That RT should definitely sell.

@CWOyaji happy to see another Lincoln EZ cleaner fan! Went through gallons of that stuff in my former life as a sneaker restorer.

Flipstah how was the movie

it was well done. Definitely a must see for any car guy. Didn’t think there was so much politicking so I’m hunting for books to read about it

Found this old coat, might go back. Seems to be very good construction and near new. Not sure if it's from a menswear company or back when regular clothing companies took pride in their work. Can anyone give any sort of clue to whom made this? Long shot since it could be a generic tag and whomever made it didn't fill out the info.

From what I was able to research, the union tag reveals the garment is from 1968-76.

Big pop for me on Bontoni. X2

Anyone a size 13? Willing to trade these.

1960s/70s 3-piece suit.
Could it be a Cartier employee uniform?
Or is there some "Cartier cloth" similar to the Zegna cloth/etc.?

Anyone know how old this tag is?

Also, what would you call this pattern?

1960s-ish according to these resources

Brooks Brothers - Vintage Fashion Guild

Brooks Brothers is considered to be the oldest menswear store in the US, having been founded in 1818 by Henry Sands Brooks. The original store was the H. & D.H. Brooks & Co., and it was located in New York City. In 1850, Brooks’ grandsons inherited the business, and they renamed it Brooks...

Yku sure it’s fake? Isn’t the gold label like their low tier garbage? Pretty sure that’s legit

 

[JChong8]

That’s authentic Belstaff but vintage...

 

[Letric]

I dunno the edge finishing inside was pretty crap, tag attachment and that generic "M" tag.. Plus the fonts just looked kinda wonky and the spacing.. then the weird looking little Brit flag on the outside. If it was legit, it was pretty sloppy and lightweight.

Even for $6.99 I wasn't feeling it. I'm sure some other sifter snagged it and it made their day so w/e.

Just for more content's sake, found this 2? days ago and didn't share:

Pretty sick little vintage Pendleton blanket wool coat. Probably 60's-70's? or even earlier. Staff didn't catch that it was the big P cause the neck label was gone, but I know it when I see it.

Also this little guy helped:
