Oh ! Thanks Fu...

I thought since mine has a white label maybe it was womens 49er? but mine has leather buttons on the right and the 49er for women had big shell buttons on the left . hmmmm

Oh, I missed the white label. That's definitely women's. I know nothing about the women's stuff from Pendleton. I did see one in a thrift store a month ago or so and left it.

Good grief been sick for the last 4 days haven't thrifted at all but have had the pleasure of dealing with international nutcases.

That is it no more international dealings for me on ebay. Too much hassle.

Got a guy in England flipping out on me because he is being charged a $15 custom fee and is blaming me and now he is going to refuse to pay it and have it shipping back to me

expecting a full refund of course.

Yeah, international sales are too much hassle.

I sell on ebay to make money, not piss it away.

Mad shady and deserving of public shaming, if true.

FYI - A box arrived today from a SF member with 11 items. Got home at 6pm, took photos of all 11, edited photos, and listed 4 of the nicest items by 9pm. How do you expect people to send you stuff if it takes you weeks, let alone MONTHS to list stuff?

1. You have no return policy.
2. Customs fees are not your problem.
3. Tell him to toss off.

1. no such thing as no return policy on ebay unfortunately.
2. already stated this, but this guy is obviously an idiot.
3. i'd really love to but i really don't want to have to eat the international delivery charges if he has it returned to me and opens a case.

Quote: a) just trying to help you out so you get more responses and a good back and forth conversation going about ebay stuff which will get lost in this thread. Also, it helps other members out when you talk about it in the ebay tips and tricks thread so they can read about it and again not get lost in the thrift thread.

b) my reference to ebay items was "SPAM" as clearly marked and was due to the response to DM7's comment. NOT out of the blue for no reason

carry on...

Both Unionmade and M&S have great end of season sales, and since you aren't a tall beanpole like me, your sizes will likely still be in stock when the sale comes around. Unionmade, however, only does semi-annual, one in February and one on sometime in the fall.

Ahh cool! That's great information! Thanks!

BnT great post. I agree on the duck canvas. The West is Dead chinos are all made of duck canvas, I tend to wear them as much as my denim. I want to make a trip to SF but my fiance says I would spend too much, she's probably right lol.

Thanks bro! Man, I coped a pair of WID duck canvas chinos. Those are lighter than the ones I saw at Taylor Stitch but super comfortable and more durable than the PRL ones I have. I think I'm gonna start rocking duck canvas with a SC and a tie. Dude, if you are ever planning on going to SF, hit me up!

great post, Denim can be really interesting. and small shops are always worth sharing.

Thanks bro! When you get down here, we'll go hit those places up!

Just a heads up, NM Last Call is currently running an additional 50-65% off clearance sale. I check their website weekly and that's about as good as it gets, and doesn't happen that often (correct me if I'm wrong). Off Saks is also doing an additional 50% off clearance. Definitely a chance to get some nice stuff at a huge discount, and there's undoubtedly flip potential, too.

Quick Thrift(Clearance) fit




Jacket: Joseph Abboud (When I worked at Nordys this was a commissioned MTM unlined jacket that was never picked up. Literally fit with no Alts for $20)
Shirt: Brooks Brother (Christmas Sale)
Tie: Hermes (Thrifted)
Pocket Square: No Name handrolled in Italy (Thrifted)
Pants: Nico & Luca (Zanella Modern Cut Brand, bought at discontinued price for 80% off retail)

Lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thrift fit, just got this vintage BB mid gray flannel sack back from the tailors, courtesy of Tubs.

Everything else is also vintage BB including the braces and shoes. And before you guys jump on me for wearing braces with belt loops, I'll be taking those off myself later tonight.

Still getting used to the whole high waist trouser thing though.

That is sooooooooo bad ass! This is the look I want!

What am I looking at here?

You are looking at a passable shirt.

Hey Nat, I'm feeling the vintage sportswear synergy.

This is from what I've seen elsewhere on the interwebs a 1950s A&F shooting jacket. Badass, super heavy wool.

That is so awesome! If I had that and in my size, I would rock it all the time!

Awesome! Man, you California members are so spoiled with all those cool shops. We have a few SW&D-ish boutiques here, but nothing that really carries high-end tailored stuff anymore.

I RARELY find suits or sports coat is my own size, but last night I got lucky. Found two bespoke jackets made in the 80s by a tailor in New York. Fully canvassed, handsewn, Surgeon's cuffs, double vents. And they fit me nearly perfectly. Unfortunately, they look to have been packed up for like 20 years, and one ended up having a bunch of holes. It was a SWEET purple/blue/black tweedy silk. The one I ended up keeping is gonna go down the street to Rave Fabricare for cleaning and pressing.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you kinda look like Sponge Bob in that...LOL jk jk, I tend to look like SB in my jackets.

Congrats on finding good fitting stuff in your size!
