Yeah that RLBL tag was made on the in-store ticketmaker, so the tag must have come off somehow and the employee that had to attach a new ticket must not have known what it was and just grabbed a ticket from a regular pair of black pants to copy.


Good to know. I just found the missing part of the price tag in one of the front pockets, guess they were actually $350, not 295.

Thrift gods have been evening things out lately, as if to say "You found two Huntsmans a couple weeks ago. You need to see a lot of ancient Zegnas and hole-ridden Canalis for a while, among the Strathmore and Evan-Piccones and Oscar de la Renta."

Found this tonight, tho, I will wear it at least a couple times before sending to Spooland. It may help me overcome my aversion to brown ties, it's pretty cool...

Sammy for sure - the model name and serial # are in the right location

Yes but the Pee! It was stained all over the white pocket liner. :( it makes me so sad.

Oh and I found a salmon color Saks Fifth Avenue blazer made in Italy. No other makers not worth picking up? It was really kinda ugly and I'd never wear it but I suppose if it was worth trade or eBay fodder i could go pick it up again.

DM7 didn't start off like that because he had no idea about brands. Ed's a seasoned privee sale shopper who finally realized that thrifts produce ridiculous gold.

If it was not hideously pink colored and didnt have patch pockets I would consider it but its just so ugly. I'll leave it be.

Vestimenta I believe. Styling is good, very modern and RLBL-ish. I'd pick it up for sure if it's in good shape.

Very true. Still, I can't imagine what Eddie's hauls will be like in a few months once the bug has really caught him.

What was the size? I love hideously pink patch pocket jackets...


Which one of you was at TJX with 30+ kiton ties around your neck?

I found one he missed.

7 fold self tipped 100% linen kitten. Best tie I've handled by far. Sorry cappeli!



Saw a couple Charvets but left them. Wide and weird patterns.

I assume you are either a clown who wears such colors, or being extremely ironic.
