GW has a little problem with sizing some time. It's not XL. Color is Pastel's mostly with a yellowish overcast, the darker houndstooth is light grey.

Three-piece vintage (Union tag 62-76) Cricketeer suits in the 39-41 range would be a kop at $20? $10?

There's a brown one and a gray one. Not tweedy, but still pretty sweet looking. I don't know if they'll survive until next Wednesday, though, so half price might not be in the cards.

Me too! Great nostalgia value in that one... :slayer:

Now I just need the Sticky Fingers album with the original working zipper. (The moms won't let go of hers, for some reason... )

HansderHund, did you say you have TK Makk stores in Austria? If so you might want to check one out, somebody just pointed out in the Random Fashion Thoughts thread that they have some really nice Maison Martin Margiela stuff on their website for reasonable prices. I'm sure plenty of us would appreciate a proxy for some side-zip boots

Pardon the multi-posts; I'm squeezing in a week's worth, here...

ALDENS -- MY FIRST!

Suede penny loafers, size 11 B/D, I think. (There is also a series of numbers with a 14 set aside at the end. They look closer to an 11 than a 14).
Soles, uppers in great shape. A little wear on the black heel application most good shoes seem to have....

AVAILABLE FOR DOLLARS OR MAYBE TRADE

THEORY JACKET

So dericious, so sweet.... Invisible pocket snaps, awesome diagonal hem. Layers and layers of an uber-soft but resiliant cotton, deep black. Blacked-out double zipper, so it can be worn a few different ways. Retailed for ~ $500 :wow:

Tagged XXL, in typical Theory fashion, it fits more like a Large. It's mostly just long, so I'm on the fence about keeping it. Fit pic data below:

Thanks to GMMcL for PMing me very detailed instructions on how to repair that Hermes tie I thrifted last week. I made a few mistakes, but above are the results of my repair.

1. I wish I didn't find used loafers to be so gross.

2. There's definitely something questionable on your mirror :uhoh:
