The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Nataku]

I wonder what happened to Frenchy this time.

Picked this up because it was my first and some stuff for myself:

The Andover Shop 42R some kind of silk/wool or camelhair fabric, can't seem to figure it out

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

That jacket!

Are you ******* serious? What a bunch of horseshit. Barring a legitimate explanation for why he was banned, I'm done with this place. If he was banned for anything like/related to the Man of Lint bullshit from before, then this place is ******* worthless and not even worth lurking anymore if a poster with some of the consistently best finds isn't even allowed to be here.

quick look at frenchy's history looks like there was some sort of dust-up with user pio-something here:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/170429/countdown-to-breaking-bad/1150_50#post_5648576

and then said user narc'ed on frenchy here:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/164395/transparent-moderation-log-site-topics-part-ii/10350_50

one of the mods another user warned frenchy about arguing WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE CLOUT ON AN INTERNET FORUM

french, i am not taking sides here, i just want to state the facts. the world aint fair always, and neither is this forum always. you have your history, and it will take time to live it down, if at all.
i imagine you enjoy it here, or you wouldnt have come back to post. that being said, the best you can do is try not to fight with people who have clout, be nice, and re-acclimate, proving your worth. then things may be viewed different if this were to arise again.
just my advise.

Was hot about a decade ago... now its lost its name recognition. You might want to keep it if you like it.

I did some measuring because I didn't want to confuse people, and this looks to be correct.

Got a 11.5 insole for the Royal Tweeds which were the same as a 10.5 in some Hanovers I had. Then a 12 insole for some 11D Allen Edmonds. So I guess send me that PM Dig if that'll work.

It's funny how things look different the next day. Maybe I should wait 24 hours on everything that strikes my fancy when I'm reading this thread at night.

Thanks for following up.
