Best find in a really long time, primarily because they are my size I have been looking for a pair of black cap-toe balmorals for a while now, and was just about to give up and order a pair of AE Park Ave's.......until I stumbled across these:




1. Black Cap-toe Bal? - CHECK. 2. Great Condition? CHECK 3. AE? - Naw.... ALDEN - MEGA CHECK 4. Shell Cordovan? MEGA MEGA CHECK

- I was on that same quest a while ago and gave in and got a pair of Park Aves on eBay.

I probably have 30 - 40 Harris Tweed jackets in the basement waiting for the fall but this was my first hat.. Is there a name for this type of hat?
...

I don't know but that is the brand of my first ever non navy blazer sport jacket, many many years ago bought from Harrods, a nice Harris tweed. It was an excellent jacket which served me well. Dunn and Co. used to be an expensive brand then.

Those are beautiful and in great shape. Congrats!

Picked up a zegna silk/cotton shirt and pair of RRL chinos today.

Also got a made in Italy Bobby Jones polo, size L. Someone here was looking for them right? Available at cost if you plan to wear, solid dark burgundy, pics to come

Passed on some pretty cool Made in USA LL Bean duck boots and a HF navy pinstripe suit in 44R (middle age label, not recent, not ancient).

What size are the chinos? I've been on the lookout for some RRL chinos (or epaulet rivet chinos, but those don't show up in thrifts)

I just got sniped AGAIN! I hate ebay. You guys use Gixen, right? Time to go over to the dark side, I guess.

I'll take solace in the fact that this Isaia silk/linen AAAC pickup is in the mail right now:

30x32, grendel. Too small for me, that's for sure.

 

[Greg613]

I use Baygenie and have had pretty good luck with it.

Polo RL Unstructured 3 button, Surgeon Cuffs

....

How about a third?

I've been holding this PRL for months and it seems that I won't be turning into a selling machine like you guys so someone make me an offer. I'm easy. I think the spots should come out with some TLC.

Spoiler: Moar pics!

I've also got this Gieves & Hawkes DB by Hickey Freeman. I love it but my seamstress says "NO. Too big to alter."

Spoiler: Liek be4

PM for more measurements of either or both.

30x32, grendel. Too small for me, that's for sure.

They'll fit me though! If the G-man takes a pass, get at me, bro!

 

[highvoltorb]

This worth $25? Looked fairly new to me. Tag said 52 (42US?) so it won't fit me. Sorry for the crap pictures. It's more of a dark navy. I can go back if anyone wants it.






Also, this is one of my favorite thrift purchases ever.

A big thanks to Nataku for shipping a Coach briefcase my way! It's awesome and will be put to use starting on Monday. I had to recondition the leather and it will need a second coat to even it out, but it should look like new.

Lookin good! Glad you could put it to good use!

That system is really, really disgusting.

I hope disgusting is a new slang term for the antonym like "sick"....

+1 How old is it again? That looks spotless!

Roughly 31-32 years old. I'ts in amazing shape.

Too small for me, so all yours
