A request...
Does anyone have a tie like any of these we're willing to part with in these colors?
Shepherd's check

Glen plaid

Houndstooth

I need a wedding tie by the end of May. I can get a $15 tie from Tiebar or a bit more at JAB but I was hoping some of you tie hounds might have something better for a reasonable price.
Thanks.

funny how things work out

everyone's always trying to bring down the guy on top. keep doin your thing, you've obviously put more thought and effort into this than almost anyone else.

+Many.

I urge valium to stay. Many here enjoy his finds. If frenchy comes back, two of you in the same forum will be epic.

I urge everyone to stay. I've defended DM7 before. I like our little ecosystem; a pungent blend of macho smack talk and high-falutin' aesthetisism. We all add to that aroma. No one should leave (but everyone should F'ING CHILL). Now for some fun...

Does anyone here know how to tell the difference between Zegna's regular label & Couture? I'm looking at dress trousers and chinos at a Zegna outlet, but I'm baffled why these chinos (95% cotton 5% cashmere) are priced at $700, as opposed to the dress trousers (in 100% wool with great pattern) are going for $400. Are the chinos maybe Couture label as opposed to the dress trousers being normal Ermenegildo Zegna label? I did notice some pants had sewn in stars on the waist band (like the Couture label design).
Any help is appreciated, i will ask the SA's, but i suspect their knowledge will be limited...

Answered my own question, the chinos were Couture...

I also found 4 mannequins for sale locally. I am buying one for myself and would be willing to proxy the others. This is what they look like. Price would be $30 plus shipping. Send me a PM if interested because I'm going to pick them up tomorrow. The ad says they are medium sized, fabric covered, and do not have stands.

^^^ LOL! MIS-CHIEF!

LOL! You have good eyes. I didn't even notice that. Obviously, the seller didn't either.

Dig, Closest thing I have on my "available" rack, but I am having trouble telling what color the ties you posted are. The checks are playing tricks with my eyes.

I've never seen a Burberry denim jacket before. I thought it might be fake at first. Still not sure. About 4 sizes to large for me at an XXL










Wasn't sure what this was. I only know one "GV" assuming that's what those letters are. It was a wrinkled leathery feeling jacket. Probably a women's jacket sitting but it was hanging up in the men's section.

 

[mexicutioner]

dude that burberry jacket looks mega fake to me.

Cowboy boots are either loved or hated on the styleforum, personally I love them. Today I found a pair of Polo Western by Ralph Lauren lizard skin boots.

Google tells me these were made in the early 80's by Dan Post for RL. The Polo Western line was later replaced by the RRL line.

 

[Nataku]

Any Burberry at a size 2XL or larger would have me leaning towards the fake end of the scale. The fact that it's a denim jacket puts it over the edge. Screams Fake.

 

[horse's_ass]

The Burberry jacket definitely looks fake. That said, I've found a number of real polo shirts in size XXL.

 

[ATLjon]

Cobbled! Not perfect, but what is? The Strands are another story altogether. I'll have to get a second opinion on those.

 

[ATLjon]

Sweet boots.

You're in Atlanta? Go down to the ballpark and sell them to Chipper. He'll probably give you tons of money for them.
