Got this beautiful shirt from Jay Kos today. $8. The picture sucks - main color is burgandy, not as bright as the picture depicts.

Hermes suit in perfect condition (pretty sure it's recent--maybe you guys can help me out here). Super 150s and marked as 54R drop 8R. I'll be putting it on B/S once I take measurements and figure out how much to ask for it. As many of you have noted, I don't know how much things are actually worth, so if someone would also be kind enough to help me out with regards to that, that'd be awesome. Oh, and I also got an old as f*** women's watch that I am 95 percent sure is a real Rolex-datejust. Smooth back, 2.5 magnification, etc. I did not, however, find a darned pair of Chelsea boots. Been looking for a pair for a while now.

That is 100% a Belvest Label.

Any idea how recent it is based on that label? I can tell the label looks pretty recent, but I'm not sure how much. Edit: And thanks for the congrats. Edit2: To add a story to this... I went to the thrift store on a complete impulse looking for Chelsea boots. Didn't find any, so I thought I may as well go to the jackets. After looking through about 75-90 jackets (huge store) I got to the end of the rack. Last suit on the rack. :-D

Yeah, WOW. I WANT.


That is their current label. You pretty much just hit Sartorial Nirvana. Great find man.
The level of handwork I am seeing on that is far above a standard Belvest.

You might list it on B&S, but ebay might be the place to get more money for it. Hermes sells. Amazing find.

re: the hermes suit, yeah list it on ebay for sure. and get better pictures, that is a must. that is an awesome find, almost too good to be true - have you looked over every cm of it for flaws? it seems like any time I find anything that awesome (which is very, very rare), there is always something wrong with it. hopefully not for you though! awesome

I have, indeed. It is absolutely flawless. Heck, it looks like it hasn't even been worn before. The RFID number on the jacket is 10.487.500 (pants end with 496). Does anyone know how to track that?

Edit: There is a bit of dust on the bottom of the pants. I think someone dropped it. Aside from that, nothing else worth noting--and I don't even think that's significant.
Edit2: I just want to note how amazed I am by the handwork on it!

Nice find. As with my Cucinelli, which was flawless/unworn condition, I don't get who would donate such nice things. That Hermes is my size...
