I got some 42R and 44R, the brioni and Kitons are slim, the Zegna suit is 42R, the Oxxford is also pretty damn slim.
The ties would fit!

I will take pics!

I think there have been some similar scores, but this a standout in recent months, also at the price points I paid, it may be up there.
The coats were $5.15-$7.00 each, which considering the price even on e-bay for 100% cashmere coats of recent vintage from Brioni and Kiton, under $20.00 for all three is pretty amazing.
I have been thrifting hard for 3 years and this is the 2nd grand slam I have experienced, but this time I bought them all!

^ OMG. Where in the Windy City do you live?

Awesome score! This is on par with the king thrifter's finds (I think his handle was Pjek), who seems to have disappeared. I'm a 42R, PM sent! Also, it's good to buy all when there's a find like that. I've been cheap before and left some nice items behind because I thought I had enough stuff in the cart, only to find out that I wanted them later on. Go back 2 hours later and they're gone. You can always re-donate (or in some cases, return) if you don't like them....but chances are you won't track down the guy who bought em and beg him to sell them to you!
