I love that green Versace jacket!

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.

That is badass. Keep us updated on what you do with it!

Holy poop. This is the 2nd piece you have found, right?

Never seen shirts made by Samuelsohn, only tailored stuff (suits, jackets, pants). I'd be interested in seeing photos when you get a chance. Pretty nice?

I'd never seen shirts either til today. Ones I got are sport long sleeve, Egyptian cotton, pretty nice but would never pay the original $ price for one. Will try to post pics eventually. Gonna PM you re the camo once I can settle in.

The brand they use in Canada - aside from Samuelsohn - is JP Tilford. I'm pretty sure that I've seen Tilford shirts but the Canadians here can correct me if these are not a thing.

Gotta be a reprint... Too clean/cheap frame/seems way too vibrant. Stoked regardless, framed and ready to go for $8.

EDIT- Adding the obligatory FU DM7.

Super awesome piece! I totally want one Them! poster framed!!!!!

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.

Dude!!!!!!!! That Barbour is just what the doctor ordered!

Not a thrift, but found this BB suit at Marshalls for a relative song. I believe this Golden Fleece, but can I get some help on IDing the labels? I am guessing that BB put in the generic tag because they don't want it to be completely obvious about are dumping $2k suits at Marshalls for $499.

Hmmmm, is it me or does this tag looks like the Martin Greenfield made Golden Fleece?

Edit: Looks like Uncle Spoo has already beat me to the punch!

Quick run to local haunt.
See awesome tan PRL casual jacket with all sorts of pockets/details/cool lining, one small stain on the chest that will come out after a wash. Size XL. Happy dance. I can't believe it's just chillin there. I try it on, sleeves are a little short but I think I can make it work. I look at myself in the mirror, admire it, look at myself from the left, the right. Victory. Take it off and start walking towards another part of the store... That's when I smell it.

Piss, mixed with urinal cake, mixed with cherry scented car air freshener. Not quite sure how I missed it. I drop the jacket against a rack of clothes, I see the heavily soiled neck area, and that there are some tears to the lining I missed before. I think someone must have worn the jacket into the store and left it behind, leaving with something clean.

x100

Now the smell is either stuck on me, or at least stuck in my nose because I smelled it for the next 10 minutes.
I use my new superpower to shop without worry of others approaching. The thrift gods then proceed with an offering in exchange for my plight...


















I'm assuming that suit size is in cm, and thus it's a 40L?

E Thrift Question, are all PRL Benchmade in England by C&J or do you need to see the inside markings to determine? Thanks

Here's the listing in question http://www.ebay.com/itm/POLO-BY-RAL...3318758?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item2331709b66
