Top and bottom seem to be 2 different outfits

Lol, yeah, I took a chance on wearing a DB with jeans...Not going to do that again, EVER!



Looks like someone used another stupid plastic hang-tag here at some point.

So almost didn't get out today. So glad I went with the "well I'm up, I might as well get out" state of mind.
Started the day off right:
Cool North Face outerwear. Steep Tech designed by Scot Schmidt




First pocket squares found. Ever. In 10+ years, these are literally the first pocket squares I've ever found. Scoured the women's scarves all the time and nothing. These were hung on pants hangers and destined for the linens section! They must have thought they were nice napkins!

They are all NWOT.
The day just gets better:

Ties!


And the pièce de résistance. First picture is awful. Tried a few times and comes out the same. I've come to the conclusion that I need a new camera.
Pretty recent. Super 120s fabric.




Awesome finds! Love that Etro!

I hope there's at least a bit of truth in this...

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Max out unemployment benefits while doing ebay until you get back on your feet?

Rayxlui: Wow. Just wow. PM sent. :)

Sorry to hear the bad news. I can tell you from personal experience though, there is a lot of truth in that. I was laid off this past March. Since then, I've had time to clear my mind, spend more time with my family, get projects done around the house, thrift and had new job opportunities open up for me. Plus, I didn't have to fight anyone for vacation time for going to Japan or going to visit my wife's family for Christmas. :D

1) Those pocket squares are incredible. I have never found anything beyond the occasional fake cardboard ones in some jackets...lol
2) That suit

I'll probably be thrifting a great deal less (not that I've been out much lately anyway). It would be fun to travel for a bit, haven't really gone on a vacation for awhile...

I hope everything works out. Use this time wisely though.
Will do. Gonna spend the next day or so taking care of some financials and what not, polish up the resume and get out there. Going to head up to Boston (watch out typhoid jones!)

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Max out unemployment benefits while doing ebay until you get back on your feet?
I'll probably throw up a few more auctions than originally planned, got ass-loads of ties, some shirts, skeet blankets, etc.

was looking to keep that more on the hobby level, have an auction every so often. but i will probably be downsizing to get some needed cash while i'm in limbo, so i suppose so.

Best of luck to you. It may definitely not feel like it now, but take the opportunity to move towards a brighter future. I am sorry to hear about it.
