Never even knew of that collab, but super cool and can't imagine it not doing well!

Can't see those shirts being a bad kop. In any case, I'm interested if they're a 16.5 or 17

Cripes - it WAS a thing - approx. $300 per shirt when they came out, per this link.

Was it rusty?



I scored a Cooper A-2 goat skin leather flight coat a few weeks back, 44L and I'm a 44R. Tried in vain to grow an inch or two but could not manage it...it went to a good home and my ROI was nice. you can always wear it the remainder of the season and let it go next autumn.



I've still never found anything Caruso. With a few holes and only two bucks, I would have bought it as well just to have done so...



The purple tag Flusser is the thrift fodder; the MTM / bespoke stuff @ATLjon got is the good stuff regardless of it having been tailored to fit someone else. I've passed on it, before I knew the difference in the labels.


I suppose you dont know what a Dirty Sanchez is either? Cleveland Steamroller?
Hahaha...my favorite is the Houdini...gets them every time...
Whats the name of the one where you punch them in the nose and make em bleed? Then kick em in the shin? I always forget...

Blumkin. That will be the name of my first-born. [I think we should stop this here and now, lest we get 17 pages of this...]
BLUMKIN!!! Hah my buddy went by "blumkin king" back in H.S. And I do not know why haha.

PS: heh, sorry Hans - just realized I transgressed with my "Is this a thing?" question....  Just that I sometimes buy stuff on impulse or hunch and like to toss the pics on here without having looked things up (like the Santangelo shirts).  Win some, lose some when I take the gamble but even with a smartphone I still buy stuff on gut vs. making an informed purchase.  Roll the dice! 


No worries here, I'm guilty of having asked similar questions. I wrote it simply because we had guys that were just starting out finding something that has been seen thousands of times asking "is this a thing?". I'm really not a thread regulator, I don't mind any sincere discussions whether it's ebay, Russian prison tattoos, or whatever else. Anything that bores me just gets scrolled :nodding:

Also, that was a great haul!

Thanks for the denim guide...very helpful, we hardly ever see that quality of denim here.

Have you ever seen Maiden Noir? I found a pair and they were outstanding, wasn't sure how they ranked up against the others.

...and I enjoyed the music...very ska sounding
Maiden Noir jeans are pretty cool but not at Flat Head or IH level. Their SW is pretty dope but too similar to Norse Projects though...Actually, can I just call them NP ripoffs???!!! Haha, I kid, I kid!

I haven't done any real thrifting in 2 weeks, since my last pretty decent haul. At least one, maybe two cherries popped this time.

Nothing available at the moment.

Here goes - all from today:











I have always wanted one of these, and now I have one - garish!! (does not count towards one of my pops)














I think these next two are pops, but I haven't looked them up yet - bought solely because I thought Spoo posted the same label a while ago. Both are truly NWOT.











A definite pop for me - realsies Burberry Prorsum. Made in Italy and all that jazz.


















A collab I haven't seen before - Gitman x BAPE. Is a thing?





















No-name brand - I just loved the colors.





Truly NWOT:

























Never ceases to surprise how many different fabrics / variations in which the Ludlow came.





New cold weather outdoor work jacket - appears to have a smudge of paint so who cares if it gets ruined.










The beast of the day. New with tag from BNY.







I saw this tag and got a little giddy... Could it be? ?? !





And this one made me smile.


HAHA! I haz the same cowboy shirt!!! I actually haz this kick ass one with hella rose embroidered on it! Got it on discount years ago!

Bro, cover anything that's super obscure/super JPN fashion all tricked out and we don't see much of it in the states!
