So sad that my d&g ebay deal doesn't fit
More like a 11 /43 ;(

Been waiting to try them on and then wham

No fit......

Wait. An 11 is a 43 eu?

Is a 42.5 like a 10 then? I'm so confused. I've been looking through size charts because I wanted to buy a 42.5, but I thought it was more like a 8.5-9?

8.5 = 41.5, to the best of my knowledge.

Ok guy, here was my haul from today. Fighting with my ancient laptop here, so hopefully everything came out ok. Many thanks to those who gave valuable input. Sure, mistakes were made but overall I felt I came out on the winning side of things.

I will edit after I upload to spoiler as my laptop is giving me fits.

Mmmmm, tradly GTH goodness. If any of those are around a 46L, a 40-30, or a 38-30, please let me know.

I was looking at a pair of NDC shoes and found this sizing chart by them:

I have a pair of sneakers in a EU 42 that fit pretty well, so I didn't think a 42.5 was much of a stretch esp with an insole. If it's actually a 9.5 then I'm SOL.

no i meant the shoe is tagged 46 eu
fits more like 11 rather than 13 or 12 us sizing
sorry confusion.

but still as a 46 should have fit
not sellers fault but still ...

Hey @SpooPoker , I'll join you on that glass with a birthday bottle of wine. Here's to 25 being better than 20-24 combined.

Happy birthday, RTC!

Is this the current Zegna label? It has a local mens shop tag inside that's been used within the last year and a half.

It is indeed. Nice find!!

Happy bday Rtc x2

 

[ridethecliche]

Thanks guys. Hopefully the year will prove better than my e-thrifting efforts tonight. I feel like a sore loser after just missing out on that pair of barrett shoes, then again those zegna chelseas fit me pretty well so I guess I have no complaints. And as @SpooPoker says, there will always be more

Happy birthday bro.

And thanks for reminding me how old I am. Ha.

Ditto that.
And all you young bucks thinking 35 is "old" - feh!

25 is the last birthday to look forward to other than just being alive. Rental cars are now cheaper for you. Happy birthday. I'd give all my future grail finds to turn back the clock to 25.

At age 35 you can be a U.S. president. At age 50 you can join AARP, and start trolling chicks on ourtime.com. So...there's that...

Seriously you just need to lay out a step by step plan and then jump in with both feet. If you keep thinking about the project as a whole it feels really overwhelming and impossible but each step feels really easy. Plus once you rip the room out not having your master bath provides lots of motivation to get it back together

.

edit: also buy lots of beer and when you get frustrated put your tools and **** down and go have one (or ten depending on how frustrated you are, just keep drinking them until you aren't frustrated any more.).

Great job, and thanks for the inspiration - I need to redo part of my master due to poor planning and layout by whatever idiot originally designed it...might just give it a whirl - at least I know I can handle the drinking beer part.

You're never too young to look for cougars.

Don't worry, you'll have awesome stuff in your hands tomorrow!
