Most exciting find of the day though was this - NWT RRL jacket from Spring/Summer1996!!!. Only downside is a pen mark on the sleeve otherwise awesome jacket with an interesting design.

I have used hairspray to remove ink before....

Speaking of old Brooks: I saw this shirt on Monday and immediately knew it was old...would love some help dating it, if anyone knows. Do we have a TyphyoidJones signal?

Anyhow, any help dating this would be great. Unlined collar, tag is definitely different, and it has a higher cut side shirt "tails" (or whatever they're called) than I've seen on other Brooks.











These ties were also there and I'm pretty sure they were from the same guy. They have the black caps script BB text, which I'm pretty sure is older. They're also skinnier and with thinner lining than newer ties...they're probably from near the same era as the shirt since I'm almost positive they're from the same guy. Any help is appreciated.

Pair of dark brown flat-front J. Press. No size tag (was so hopeful they might fit), by my measurements they are 34x28 (cuffed though, so can be let out). Available.

Early to mid 1970s, I believe. I picked up 10 with an identical label, and the styling seems the same, in the original packaging earlier this year (humblebrag).

 

[AndroFan]

Awesome, thanks for the info! Is that the ties too, or just the shirt?

You know that song, racks on racks on racks? It was referring to Wes's closet(S).... Massive amounts of goodness. The song I was referring to:

I can only speak for the shirts, and even then I would wait for confirmation from ThyphoidJones. I'm interested in a date on the ties as well - I've picked up half a dozen over the last few months with similar measurements and the same label.

Big eBay $$$

90's RRL does surprisingly poorly on eBay, probably due to the much fuller cuts. I wouldn't make a big deal about it being from the 90s.
