^ Congrats on that gray zegna cashmere. Looks really nice.

Yesterday -- some notable items are a nice Oxxford SC w functioning cuffs, PRL Italy suit, a chaps RL SC that I normally would never buy but it's really nice and fits great - tweedish DB peak lapel w/ ticket pocket. Also found a LNWOT Brioni shirt, and today my girl was out w/ me and found a basket full of ferragamo heels for $2 each.

I'm currently in an epic battle w/ Comcast to get my goddamn Internet up at the new house. Hopefully a slew of pics coming next week.

alright
which one of you bastards is trolling me on ebay and sent me this on a $150 BIN suit :lol:

"
Dear leftblankinc,

Questions:
- Approx. when was this suit made?
- Is it fused?
- What
country was the fabric woven in?
- Does the fit/cut lean towards slim or
traditional?

Please confirm jacket measurements:
- Lapel width
-
Collar height
- Half chest --- Make sure the jacket is buttoned up, 1st
button ONLY. Then, pinch the armpits and 'pull' outwards until the chest
button is taut but NOT loose/saggy/bursting...
- Half waist --- At about
20" down the jacket.
- Half girth
- Armhole --- Please measure carefully
as it is round...
- Shoulder (not yoke) --- Collar to shoulder seam ---
Flip the collar up to do this. Start measuring from the neck seam.
-
Jacket Length, upper --- Flip the collar up to do this.
- Jacket Length,
lower --- Start from the top of shoulder to bottom of the jacket.
- Sleeve
width, at bicep
- Sleeve width, at elbow
- Sleeve width, at hem
-
Sleeve, inseam length
- Bottom hem width
- Half back width

Thanks for
the assistance.

Regards,
---------------

That looks like the same message Brianpore (???) received and posted in the ebay thread. Check out the black list, that person may have made it.
