^Sick bike Nat. That'd almost be like finding a used car. Can you imagine?

Yeah - it's crazy! First thing that came to mind was "Geez, who the hell donated a 1 year old, $2,300 mountain bike!? It's gotta be stolen". Then I figured if it was stolen it would have ended up at some seedy pawn shop. I asked the clerk and she did they they checked the Bike ID number with the police and it wasn't reported stolen. I wonder what the story behind it get donated was?

Passed on an orphaned Zegna coat, charcoal, probably 40/42L. Also a HF suit a tan color. The fabric was smooth with raised places in it, not sure what that is called. I mean it was supposed to be that way. I probably would have taken it home, but there was a small repairable hole on the front of the pants and I just didn't feel like fooling with it. .And saw 2 Walter-Morton suits. Interesting story on this brand, yes? Took home a pair of J&M Cellini 7.5 Chili and Bone Wing Tip spectators for my son. Very soft leather.

Saw some pretty dope Brooks Brothers suits, made in the early 70s, but unfortunately not my size. All really good quality. If anyone's about a 44L, check out the Mountain View/Sunnyvale Goodwill on El Camino Ave, there's at least three of them - one is a sweet tweed with patch pockets.

Hit a string of shirts today for the first time - four Charles Tyrwhitt and a Brooks Brothers, all same donor, all exactly my size. Never gotten more than one or two at a time before for myself - and these are precisely the right size, too. Even Sea Island cotton... happy today!

Nice. The only string of shirts I've ever hit was 3 Jos A Banks ones. Nothing as nice as Brooks or Tyrwhitt, I'm afraid.

But I'm wearing one right now and am pretty happy with it, so not a bad buy for 2 bucks.

Found this Mossimo black leather jacket today, like new for only $7. I never liked leather jackets because they were too heavy (weight-wise) but this is fine, fits great even over a sweater.

Aquascutum Trench Coat. Must be pretty old if it's still banging on about the Queen's award to industry 1966-71, but it really is in fantastic condition. Not much of a trench coat man but I think it'll look good with suits and things. Happy!

Looks great Ich_Dien. What colour is that trench, Desert Yellow? Wonderful find.

Stopped by SA as they were setting out ties. Picked these up for .99 each.
