Someone donated their whole Polo RL odd trousers collection. Lots of Corneliani made ones. Tagged 32. Houndstooths, glen plaids and checks galore. Too bad these aren't worth grabbing. Couldn't even move a pair of NWTO silk houndstooth Polo by Corneliani trousers in a 34 waist. for $5.


Yeah? I wear a 34 waist, love most Polo cuts. Id roll the dice on alterations on 32's. Can you still kop/proxy/whatever?



Dude, I know. The :lurk: is strong on this one.

Met up with Deadboy on his way through town to pick up a very nice Duchamp London tie from him. Good guy.

Didn't have a lot of time today, but I did pick up a Pal Zileri Gruppo Forall sportcoat, a made in Scotland Forbes tartan tie, and a HF 40L tuxedo coat... Couldn't find the pants, but worth the pickup on the chance I can find them. Henry Boogers, if you see a pair of tux pants around a 34 let me know... found this at the Webster Savers.

Oh, and I wore the Eastland Made in Maine mocs today... really comfortable shoes.

Have any of you ever seen a 4 in one tartan tie? Its the most bizarre thing I found yet. Im too lazy to snap a pic, but its 4 pieces of tartan patched on one tie, so its like 4 ties in one. Does this make sense?

I've seen 4 pattern bow ties, but not regular ties. I've seen 2 pattern / color regular ties where the two ends are different to give some contrast.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I will open each item up separately, wait for them to end then go through and individually look at the selling price for each item, page by page. Weird? Yes. Entertaining? Yes :slayer:


I have them all end seconds apart, I can't do that... but that does sound fun!

So, I got a pic of that tie. What does the hive think? Theres no maker label.

10-4; on the lookout. I saw that jacket there last week and have been looking for it as well. Since you pulled the trigger I will gladly hand them over if I come across them....
