Yes.

(Nah, kidding. I was super stoked for you. Edit: that was the same store you found those bawler Paul Stuart spectators in wasn't it? You hauled mint out of that store and I found ****. But member how I didn't know what it was until you 'splained it to me? Pretty much been looking to pop that cherry ever since.)

Yea, I think I said, "this is one of those brands that the dudes on SF go balls nuts for, I think". And yes the PS spectators. So sad those didn't fit.

Passed on orphans by Paul Stuart, Canali mainline and Tiger Of Sweden (is there an SF opinion of this brand? I know they make nice sweaters and other woolens). Also passed on ties by EZ and Boss that looked fakish.

Was this a worthy pickup?

Tiger of Sweden is quite meh. Sticks to contemporary Scandinavian design, definitely nothing fancy about construction. I've got a suit from them in Wool/poly that I picked up NWT for about 75 bucks, probably a decent value for that money. Retails here in Sweden for like $700 for a suit.

Before I forget, "Remain in Light", by Talking Heads, is one of the best albums ever put out by humans.

Sitting next to it was another Zegna cashmere (blend) jacket of some sort. With the tag sticking out again. I have no idea what to call this.. You guys?

nice coat!!
all the ladies will want to hug it

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The only thing I can tell you is that it's German. Köln is the German name for the city of Cologne. Bund (or Bundweite) is the waist measurement. Google turned up a post on a World War forum asking about Carl Weyers (link below). It's possible that it was a tailor that made officer's uniforms in Germany. One thing of interest is that Carl isn't the most common spelling, but rather an older spelling in the German-speaking countries. Most people today spell it Karl. http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=91281

Versace Tags. I've got a bad feeling about this... Edit: for sure the blue labels are fake. As all are from the same donor I suspect they are all fake. They have to be real, they were nearly two bucks a pop!

 

[SpooPoker]

All fake. Sorry man.

Wes, PTO just posted a few days ago a visual list of BB labels, that looks right.

Yeah, I know....but the "S" don't match. They seem to be a script S rather than a print S. Just thought it was unusual....didn't really think it was fake.

Maybe the label was just misprinted? A mess up on the machine perhaps?

^^^^^ Why you no have 38R gingham? Nice haul.

here's the APC shirt I went back and picked up. Too large on Mrs. Ace, so available.

Plus a couple of decent cd's:

Don't know why the images are turned sideways.
