Ah, ok, lol! Good call, Ian!

assuming you're buying for personal use and not for ebay flipping:
be careful, examine the styling closely. suit was made in 1983. what are the chances that a suit made in 1983 won't look horribly dated today? "timeless styling" is a myth.

I am not sure why he would use it for personal ends, do you see the name of the person it was made for?

Thanks, Randy. It's all good. I misread his post and intent. He just wanted to know if there were any places of note in SF, and from that frame of mind, I could see where my post might sound condescending. Ian already acknowledged he misread mine.

Heh, and now I see that you saw... I'll just stop now.

Is there a strong post-secondary market for the used clothes of the elite? I mean, I can understand people who are a part of pop consciousness, but a corporate dynasty like the Rothschilds? I'm really curious. Like, would a suit owned by a Rockefeller be worth scrilla?

I sold a bespoke suit for john wayne before but I am 80% sure it was fake oh well the guy still bought it but if a custom suit for famous people is worth faking then there must be a market right?

So, I grabbed the Alexander McQueen. It's mint and the pockets are still stitched up. It's 44R but *slim* for a 44. I wear a 42 and this fit me pretty good in the shoulders and the body. If Samuel Smith passes on it, its available before hitting the bay.

Spoiler

There was a dude going through the ties and labels violently, I thought for sure everything was gone but alas...

That's much more appealing to my twisted brain than MJ's glitter pants would be, but I doubt that's the case for most people. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a select few who collected such things from on the historical bent of it. I would be surprised if that market could be labeled "strong". But that's all a guess. Why the hell am I posting?

Oh yeah, cool jacket. I love owning things with history, especially ones you can trace.

ended up not going to the city but still found some stuff in my town


SPOO IS THIS REAL!? if not I am still going to keep it because it fits me...







wesc jeans these are a consistent 80 dollar bill for me, which is more than I got for some apc's I sold, ebay doesn't make sense sometimes









awesome new old stock brooks brothers "fun" shirts both size xl

sunglasses, brooks brothers as well, are these for guys or girls?

I also found some new with tags converse selvage jeans that people were excited about last year but they had a hole in the back :/ size 30x32 I can go back if anyone wants to deal with that

also should I go back for this? it seemed dated




I also have a couple of questions on these labels of stuff I saw and didn't pick up because I was unsure about them

John Voight's Le Baron was very in demand.

Yarrrr. Samuel smith be not passing on that one. Nor the TA tie.

Ian, Orvis is ok. Some people like Alexandre, but its not anything special. The rest of the stuff you had questions on is no good.
