but seriously, i think we have a good chance to make it to the eastern conference finals. miami will need to face some resistance, maybe a D-Wade injury, and we could make another run at Banner 18....

with that, back to your regularly scheduled programming

Hit a consignment store I haven't been to in a few weeks. Check one off my grail list:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Sid Mashburn button down. It feels amazing. Fat MOP buttons. Best of all, it fits PERFECTLY.

grendel, i dig, think the tie looks good with that outfit for a nice warm day like today

can anyone id this tag? jacket was made for zanella.

heel/label thread suggests isaia or lubiam, but i'm not sold. just wondering if anyone here knew.

also, do ferragamo ties always have the name on the blade? i recently found one, no name on blade, rougher silk fabric [unlike the fragile silk they usually use for their prints]. that said, the label, stitching, content tag, etc is exactly the same as the legit ferragamos i own.

woah, i just picked up this shirt, and i think it's going to be my model for shirt-fit from here going forward:

EDIT: i'd never heard of this brand before.

I believe Mastai Ferretti is made at the same factory as Truzzi.

No, some of the older ones don't.

Hit a bit of a thrifting mystery today...

Going through the racks, I found a few Sulka shirts monogrammed JB, with dry cleaning tags for a customer named James Bond.

Is there a random obscenely rich person named James Bond, or did James Bond wear Sulka shirts in past films?

edit: Apparently Sulka did Brosnan's shirts for GoldenEye. Now I need to find his measurements...

You've GOT to be ******** me. Not content thrifting the likes of Kiton and Brioni with regularity, DM7 has taken to thrifting the wares of mothafuckin' James Bond.

Los Angeles...mecca...etc.

I interacted with a fellow at a smaller investment bank, he works in bond sales and is conveniently named, James Bond, you can't make this **** up:

 I need a bit of help. What the hell are these?

Those are US military "bunny" boots. The black ones are for cold weather, the white ones are for very cold weather.

Never heard the term bunny boots used. We used to call the black ones mickey (mouse) boots.

Told y'all......



Found a couple items today:

- Mint charcoal pinstripe Hickey Freeman Collection suit. 44 L.
- Interesting pair of suede Steger Muckluks. Bought them because they were pretty cool looking and well made. Looks like they bring in decent monies on the bay. US men's 9.

would it be impossible for someone to use that as a surname?
wouldn't the dry cleaning tags have the initials of the studio or stylist on set?
