Had myself a decent day, though I left behind my first pair of Aldens due to very visible sharpie marks I wasn't confident I could remove.


Was this a worthy pickup? I know it's not the highest end Facconable, but it's a step above their basic stuff as far as the handwork goes.

Holy **** bro, we're in the same stores from time to time, where the hell was that and i'll steer clear.
Goodwill in Tulsa - 4th & Garnet - it usually is a well kept store. Makes you think about what could be lurking in those racks.

I.hope.well as I.haven't been in over a month :) PS the curator of the Tulsa Jewish museum is a knowledgeable flipper. she... looks like she's the curator of a Jewish museum. however she.is very nice.

Does the tag look like this? Someone mentioned on the other forum that it might be St. Andrews. This is from a Falconnable SC I found the other day.

No idea on the model, I didn't look that closely. Size = 10 1/2 B/D. A hair large for me, but I will likely go back for them tomorrow.

Yes, nearly identical to that. St. Andrews it is?

Aldens in terrible shape bring at least $30-40 and that is a common size. If they are cheap, definitely worth a shot at removing the marker.

Scored this beaut off British eBay for £70. It was tagged something generic like "grey suit in size 36R", when it was in fact a vintage Kiton suit! :slayer:
