A few items from the past week...

All available ...

 

[mistermidwester]

Found a couple ancient ties. Not sure the age of these unlined J Press and Brooks Bros ties, but they're definitely old school.

Also, these skiing (and one hiker) ties.

Also, this vintage Gant 3-piece suit. Going to take it to my tailor to see if I can make the sleeves work, because it's the bomb.

Here's the Schott Jacket I picked ip the other night which will be my tennis ball desmoking experiment. More pics above in spoiler...

You are an experienced seller who knows what to buy and how to sell.

For every one that sells for 100$ there are an equal number that sell for 20$.

I've read about a hundred or so pages of this thread thusfar. It's quite fun. The

issue is I can't really tell what you guys are flipping this stuff around for. This trip

involved ugly Zegna ties, coats/suits from brands I'd heard of and seen in this thread, and

some really small BB shirts. Here, I'll just post. If any kind soul would give advice on

what they would've bought and not (to give me some reference) much appreciated. If not, I'll

spoiler it.</p>

First the ugly Zegnas. There were several of these, along with a couple Robert

Talbott's marked up to 39.99 and 49.99 (yikes!)

Now I've seen various RL brands on here, but is "RL Chaps" any good? This one has

pretty darkened/worn shoulders, probably wouldn't bother even if this was a decent label.

So thus far we've had quality concerns, now I'm wondering about style. These lapels

seem pretty extreme. Maybe I'm crazy, but does that drive things down? Along with this

pinstriped coat there was a regular navy one.

This is the closest I came to pulling the trigger and buying something. Full Armani

(real?) wool suit, size 40S. The first pic reflects the actual color, the second shot is way

too bright (terrible lighting), took it for fabric details. Same big lapel question for

this.

And lastly, random BB shirts. The 346 was normal sized, but the straight BB shirts

(while nice color and quality) were super small. I assume that's a detractor?

Is this the good Lanvin?

Any time you see that "columns" thingy below the name, it's licensed and most likely fused to *****.

yo san fran cats, tomorrow is ditch day for senior and I am going to the city, where are some good stores or we could meet up

Senior ditch day? As in high school seniors???

http://www.thethriftshopper.com/

From now on, that is your best friend. Use it wisely, grasshopper.

I feel so old.

Tell me about it. I can't even remember if I ever did skip on Senior Skip Day. Wasn't it towards the end of the year, though? Didn't school just begin?
