Stefano Ricci Tie #2 [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Loro Piana is a single piece collar, and is crazy expensive. There should not be any stitching at all. The Kiton, what size is that? Dibsing a 15.5/34-35.

You'd be just wasting your money (with those old labels anyway)....

Got it. I was thinking for flipping. For example I know to buy this without asking:

There is just too much stuff here to list that kind of detail for all this gear. Each of those hickey freeman are center vent flap pockets size 41 42 and 44 long. I think I'll get them just in case.

To be honest, a lot of corneliani is a pass for because it won't sell well because it is dated. You can't just decide on label. Do you research, stop expecting us to do it for you

Edit: Also Wes and Spoo could buy anything and make a profit off of it because they are gods.

I don't usually pick up Tommy Hilfiger, but I do when I think I have a potential customer...










dibsed by Spoo.

Spoiler: Not thrifting in the traditional sense

So this is a bit off topic but I was putting some finishing touches on today so I feel like bragging and I think DIY fits in with the thrifter ethos;
The majority of the labor was me and my lady, the tools were mostly thrifted and the materials were haggled and bartered and donated by sponsors (the lady runs a blog).

Before;

Then it was torn down to the studs and joists and built back up from scratch.
During;

After;

Bonus workwear fit pic, feel free to post feedback.

A well deserved (i feel) double beaver

Still a few minor things to do, but they are mostly cosmetic and I don't really get as involved in that side of things.

Who makes those shoes? They look comfortable, and a bit dressier than sneakers. Sketchers? Adidas?

They're actually cole haans. And yeah, they're a pretty damn comfy. They're leather uppers. I figured it was a nice inbetweener for jeans or cords.

Wait, you reunited an orphan on the internet from two different sellers? That is one of the greatest things this thread has ever produced.
Seriously. Would you guys please stop making me block you? Some of you have sick finds when you're not bickering like schoolchildren.

Reuniting is a dream
Glad to see some one fulfilled that dream

Was referring to us plebes...

Seriously though, I should really consider picking this stuff to consign with you guys. Can't even give them away on my account.

Would they even consign that stuff? I was under the impression that spoo and wes (does he even consign?) weren't really interested in that stuff. I pass on that stuff all the time.

Towers! What a great looking pup! Bathroom ain't half bad either. Nice job!

Some men have terrible dreams. That suit is one.
