Yeah, I can't say I loved it either. The brown went with the shoes and the peach is in the tie. But it was the best I had.

It's USA made Ralph Lauren blue label script -- precursor to RLPL, but USA made.

Stopped by one of my better spots after the gym last night that I haven't been to in awhile.

Saw the tie section like this, and thought "my god I'm going to have to get digging!"



After sorting though them all I came away feeling like I've finally started to up my tie game:

L to R: Ike Behar, Ted Baker, Zegna, Zegna, Valentino



700



L to R: Canali, Canali, Ferragamo, Talbott BOC, and a bow tie just cause it was first I've seen while thrifting



700



Also found these Paraboot Norwegian Welted Country Shoes (still need to clean them up!):




700

First world problem, isn't it?! lol

Sooooooooooooo, I went drinking at last night's Gustin's SF meet up aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand won me a pair of jawnzzz!!!

The Organics, #8, bitches!!!

Love this thing! Super soft and organicgy!







Fancy cuffing! I just love their signature contrast stitching! Gotta show that **** off!

About my perpetual search of tweed vest, it's not like I don't find vests. Just not my size. PtoP 19", sad.

Well, the trip was a bust in terms of thrifting. I came to see a couple buddies from back home and hit some stores first. I found enough to cover my gas and drinks for the 2-day trip, but not much else. I think I found the most overpriced thrift store in America. Used BB sport coat - $399.99. A old Burberry's for $250. Don't thrift in Naples FL.

Nothing mind-blowing today, but I did get a Park Avenue and a Byron in burgundy and brown, respectively. I picked them up with dollar signs in my eyes (grand total: $12.73), but now I'm thinking that of course I need these, and I guess I'll wear them until something better comes along.
