Yesterday was easily the best day for thrifting I've had in the last month. UNAVAILABLE: Oxxford tie - Made in England (by Drakes, right?)

 

[Guitar Preacher]

I picked up this Despos the other day because I had seen them mentioned here a couple times. tagged 43R. great fabric. Available. Ill have measurements up later tonight and maybe a few more available SC I've picked up recently.

 

[jcubzzz]

Did reasonably well this week.



Allen Edmonds woodstock size 10 1/2 B. Too small for me but i thought someone here might be interested.



Don't know much about Panelli but decided to take a chance because they fit. I have been wearing them all week so far.



Canali Milano shirt size 17/43. Not sure where Milano fits in the Canali hierarchy but it is a real nice shirt and has MOP buttons. Too big for me so if anyone is interested just let me know.

^ Brooks coat wins for me today.

But that Golden Fleece suit is tempting.... do those sleeves fit near a 26" or 27" by any chance?

 

[DeadBoy]

Thanks for the confirmation! Also, the BBGF is a 40R, so sleep tight.

I believe those are both Corneliani.

For the price I paid, the duffle is definitely the best bargain. I was thinking Gloverall as well. Anyway to know for sure? My biggest problem is the size. I'm wondering if the size will limit its market.

Spoo - The BBGF fits me nearly perfectly OTR, so I'll be keeping. The sleeves are to short for you, anyhow.

I believe those are both Corneliani.

That's what I was thinking, but only because I haven't heard of any other options.

You know who these would fit

There was actually a Dior Homme suit at my Marshalls the other day. I almost **** my pants and then I looked and the price tag was a smooth 1,000. Next to it was a Brioni Sportcoat and they wanted 1299 for that one.

I have been extremely busy as I was studying for MPRE and trying to squeeze vacation relaxing time before the start of school again, but I will post a few things I found in the short time I spent thrifting later when more time.

Also, I was absent during the age game and migration. I was surprised at the young ages. I am only 24 and thought I was on the young end of things here.

No size tag but I would say about a 40R. I have included a better pic of the label because I thought it was the Blue Ralph Lauren label that predated the current RLPL. I thought all RLPL was made in Italy..

That's "RL signature" (not an offical name, but what I've seen it called on the internet).
It is not a precursor to Purple Label.
Purple Label has been around since the early 90s, most of that RLsig stuff i from the early 00s IIRC.
If anything it's an off shoot of polo, you can fins PRL buttons an stuff on the RLsig pants for example.

It's really good stuff, but not equal to purple label in quality, more like the current Caruso PRL stuff.

That said, it's one of the best RL lines to buy secondhand because the styling is so conservative.
For example as far as jackets go:
-the older, made in USA PRL is well-made but really dated (close button stance, low buton point, wide lapels, big shoulders)
-some of the newer PRL runs short with high button points and skinny lapels.

Good find!

The RLPL suit is sick, but expecting over $600 is unrealistic. Unless you're willing to wait for just the right buyer, you're looking at $4-500 on eBay, maybe a little more if it's a rarer, more coveted size like 36-38.

The other thing to keep in mind is that most of those Chester Barrie RLPL have a VERY severe cut, with very wide shoulders.
I got a great deal on a CB RLPL suit, it was a tagged 36 or 38 (I've forgotten) with shoulders over 19.5" across.
Ended up selling it again after trying it on and seeing how crazy it looked.

I had it on ebay for months and had to field daily questions asking if I'd messed up the measurements.

There's a reason some of that RLPL is so cheap, very well made, but dated.
