Pakalolo?


Nope.



Nope.



What my first thought was, and what it should be, but no.



I wish.



See - Handserhund

Luxeswap tag


Ha! No.

I'm gonna go for a big bet... a valuable watch, or a wallet, complete with cash and cards, OR the tag of a super-heavy hitting bespoke house. 


I wish, but no.

A tiny version of the same jacket, Russian nesting doll style?


Best answer ever.

I'm hoping for a flask or sunglasses in that pocket -- either one would be good to offer to others when you walk up in that thing.

I've never thrifted a pen in a pocket, but I do own a suit with a pen trapped in the lining, and no holes in the pockets.  Kind of a "then who was phone?" deal.

Spoo, there's no way that's a 36R, right?


Not a 36R, and no.

Cuban fo sho


Nope.

Somewhat ****** fit pic (are those still allowed in here?)


Shoutout to @brianG again for my new favorite jacket.



Surplus
Engineered Garments jacket - trade
Woolrich Woolen Mills flannel - thrifted
Epaulet Oxford Popover
Gant Rugger Slack pants - thrifted
Alden 404 Indy Boots - Technically discounted(?)
Extremely nice. My only critique (which is very much a personal choice) is that I wouldn't cuff the trousers.The effect of the shortening them makes your legs look stumpy IMO. Everything else is awesome!

I found a smirnoff ice nip in the pocket of a SC in a GW once. I was like... did I just ice myself?

I found this badass suit today, anyone want to guess what was inside the pocket?



Jimmy Hoffa?

Used tissue? (No, that's the crap I find in used sport coats) :(

Tiffany cuff links?

Edit: Dangit, took too long to reply.

Is it presumptuous to declare myself winner of the Cheapies for this? 5 kids, yes 5 NIB vintage Trojans. Did you guys know these were sold in drug stores EXCLUSIVELY?

Check it out - can anyone date these for me? Im having a hard time putting the date based on the construction. Suit was made in '74.


That guy's night was not nearly as fun as he thought it would be.

Unless he started with ten.

Those are from the 60's, came in a box of 6, at least (for his sake) you didn't find 6 of them in the pocket
