Either you're being funny, or that was weird.

Dude is notorious. I actually didn't see your post until you quoted it since you posted in between me reading and clicking post and then I got paged.

On / off topic - a CNBC show that re-aired the other night and I only caught the last few minutes. "Luxury Boom" - the new big spenders (who they are, what they're buying - heavy emphasis on clothing & accessories). Originally from March 2012 but still relevant. Video.

there's this woman competing with Spoo...sells semi-high end clothing and models it herself. If she's selling pants she models herself in just a bra and the pants.

No competition, I don't look that good in a bra.

...why am I not surprised?

INORITE

Are you holding Brianpore, or is that just someone roughly his size? I think I found a Ron Chereskin SC that would about fit...

FUCKINGLOL

OMG...My initial reaction: Want to laugh but feels wrong. Jaws dropped to the floor. Shocked!

Speaking of ebay sellers, this is my pet peeve seller. Seriously, who would buy a suit from this dbag?

Pffff, the sleeves were way too long for him.

Call me a country bumpkin...But did I just caught a glimpse of T&A cologne?

I look good, but not that good.

I wasn't planning on going out today, but ended up going to one store nearby. I am glad I did. I found a recent solid navy J Press suit that fits nearly perfectly (sleeves need to be lengthened slightly).

And a recent made in Canada J Press wool/cashmere herringbone 3/2 sack SC(39S) that is a little short so it's available.

Were you in the pool behind me?

Oh, my god! Spoo is Kurt Elling!!!!

No?

Ran by a couple of stores this evening and picked up a few items, including several brands I hadn't seen in the wild before. First up, dress shirts by Facconable and Canali. Both in my size.




Then, found my first Etro and J. Press. Also picked a Brooks Brothers tie I liked. Is there any value in picking up Yves Saint Laurent? They had a few, but this is the only one I was willing to get stuck with if there was no flip value.

That YSL looks recent enough to not be a licensed POS, but I don't think it's anything particularly coveted.

It might be nearing the end of the appropriate season, but I just thrifted a solid linen shirt:

I finally got the chance to go thrifting for a bit today. Picked up a couple awesome items.

Can finally check this firm off my list.
