Could make a good band name. Dapperbastard and the Goodwill Rejects.

LOL

Dapperbastard and the Dishonorably Discharged Salvation Army.

HAHAHAA!

I see this too. I wonder if it's someone who's taking their "charity" to an extreme: if someone in need is buying a shirt at GW it shouldn't really matter who made it because it's the need that's being met by the garment (and not the maker).
On a similar note, I got reamed out by one of my wife's friends for flipping because I was depriving people of the opportunity to own what I was taking. She seemed to think that only needy people should shop there and that I was gaming/abusing the system. I did point out that, for something like jackets, I was only buying something like 1 in 500 jackets that I handled and that there were plenty of jackets still to go around.

I would tell her to get off of her high horse and jump off a bridge.

Also Fallout 4: New Vegas with FOUR EXPANSION QUEST THINGIES!
Goodbye, the next 100 hours...

Wow! You got that at a thrift store? I'm waiting for an used copy Resident Evil 6 (PS3) at Gamestop. Buy it used, play it for a week, and return in for a full refund.

I was just looking at that. I can't believe it was listed on PTO and nobody has bid on it yet. If it was a 40 I would be all over it.

Can't wait to see those Sutors. Why might they go back?
Copy pasting my earlier post of this


They cleaned up pretty well, save for a small cut near one of the toes.

The rest of the sole is pretty solid, damn toe taps would have kept this from happening...

Think these are useable/serviceable?

A few of my finds from the last couple weeks. All are already up for ebay. Also, I've been looking hard for some quality, nice condition black and brown cap toe shoes in size 10.5-11 (C or D). If anyone has something that fits the bill, send me a pm. I'm willing to pay a good price if its what I'm looking for.












How old are these Brioni's? They seem authentic, but the labels are different from what I've seen.

I'm hoping / thinking it's less true for overcoats. My camel sportcoat definitely didn't work though.

If anyone finds anything like the Coppley or Kiton in design at around 23" pit to pit please PM me ASAP.

Oh, and I found them on eBay and they're too big, so you can ignore my PM
