McRibb, that PRL tweed toggle coat looks really cool.

Looks like a trip you should repeat on a regular basis
The shirts and one BB jacket came from the other city I visited.... I don't think Org would appreciate it if I started making that a habit.

Also picked up Orvis and Barbour moleskin trousers on my return pass through the 'Nati this afternoon. Pretty solid weekend for southwest Ohio/Kentucky thrifting.

Some recent accessories....











I think those are probably not genuine cashmere. Do they have glued on labels? I thrifted one with the same Britain flag tag (glued on) and did a burn test on a small snippet- the smell and end product were not of a natural fiber such as wool or cotton but of a synthentic (acrylic?)

Some good fall color cords. BB and Canali. (canali is deep burgundy)

Navy Aqua 5 made in England, for me. Great shape, just the leather on the buckles has completely corroded off from rust underneath. Going to see if someone local can redo.



First Barbour jacket find, Liddesdale. Really minty. n/a




One of those lizard/sterling RL belts.


NIB cedar shoe trees.


These PRL fishing vests look to do ok. Haven't seen them in teal. We'll see.








Think I put this back twice, but the glorious hideousness won out. Slubby silk in pink sherbert. Available if you can rock it. About 42R I think.

Cool vtg cashmere with horn buttons.



Hugo Boss Selection

Burberry London



Also snagged a very nice Herno wool jacket for the wife and a nwot Brooks Brothers skirt suit for about $9 that fits her great. Despite the skirt, it was still placed in the mens section. Hey, probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

haha come right on over!


The number of pairs of shoes I find (I'm lucky to find 1 decent pair per month) affords me the luxury of spending 20 minutes of cleaning on a single pair.

This , I'm assuming, was a sales sample. It is about 10" by 13", appears to be faced on a piece of calfskin and bound on all sides with leather. For 50 cents, how do you pass on a nice piece of what appears to be croc belly skin. It should be at least enough to turn into a very nice wallet.

On mobile so it's hard to catch up here. But I did stop by Saks Off 5th - Samuelson shirts originally tagged $225 were $19 after all the discounts I could muster. Bought all of them (which wasn't many). Nutty sale.
