Rock the pinstripe with bluejeans, ftw.

I'd agree. I have an orphan Isaia pinstripe that I wear with jeans... If you wear it with dress slacks it looks like you forgot it was a suit but with jeans it has a more streetwear feel, less obvious you missed the boat.

Most here will tell you to ditch orphans, I might have been in that camp at one time too except I can't bring myself to ditch a perfect-fit flannel Isaia so I can't judge!

Oh, no, not disappointed at all. That's great news. Thanks!

WOOT WOOT! Welcome to the Thrifted Tom Ford club.
My cherry was popped last week. It was a shirt. What do those fit like? Straight or Slim leg?

NIGGARDLY, NIGGARDLY, NIGGARDLY!!!!!!!!!

I once told a girlfriend she looked fat in a dress. Accurate? Yes. Wise? No.

Would you shout this in Harlem? Well, son, there's your answer.

Who with the what now? Sorry; I lost track of this one. KenP, I will get at you. Hopefully I can clear the way for Staxringold, but I'm not sure why I should since HE'S ON MY LAWN!

 

[Cedric]

They are not my size, i didnt try them on , they are slim fit.
I really hope i can find the jacket out there, TF is very impressive for an American brand. lol

OK, I see what I missed. Ken: Thanks for thinking of me, but I have a very similar shirt. Stax: All yours.

Any interest in hats? They're not fantastic finds (no Borsalino) but I picked up a Dobbs and two Baileys (taupe, dark gray, and chocolate brown, respectively.) All three size 7 1/8. Any interest? Also, I'd like to find something comparable in 7 1/2, preferably gray or brown, if anyone is looking to clear out some of their own inventory...

Whoa, yes! All three of those are perfect for me! I have a black fedora (I'm 7 1/8 US), but have been looking for one to pair with grey & brown. Really loving that charcoal one, in particular. There is a decent set of hats I've seen in a local consignment shop slightly underpriced, and I will double-check the sizing, but one was too small for me and the other too large. PM sent!

Patiently waiting for my first Tom Ford piece...

 

[TheWGP]

Wow, that's definitely Kiton (to pile on with everyone else...)

and maybe I'm a little nuts, but I'd be disappointed to find that it was Kiton as opposed to Attolini... maybe that's because I HAVE Kiton sc's/suits (thanks to deals on here) but have only a shirt from Attolini (also thanks to a deal on here) and would love to see something like that in the wild!

I once told a girlfriend she looked fat in a dress. Accurate? Yes. Wise? No.

The best answer to

"do I look fat in this?"

is::::

"No my dear, but may I suggest that you look far better with no dress on at all".

or in rougher English:

"get yer kit off love"

You have picked up Luciano Barbera before in the past - correct? There is a fair chance some of it was made by Attolini.

Barbera stuff was / is made by Attolini, Partenopia, and St Andrews.

Hahaha, I've also done the former. The outcome was most interesting.
