Nice jacket. I'm a 46R and would talk trade if you are interested.

I've never spotted Isaia, that's why I picked it up even though it didn't fit.

if its a euro 56 it fits more like a 44r if i recall correctly.... Also i didnt forget about you. I have that coat at my tailor getting a seam fixed, and want to make sure its all good before i try to trade it off.

We're doing a service by digging it out of these stores and selling it to people in sartorially challenged areas!

Eeeh - it's sucked up here lately. I think someone plugged up the end of the sartorial cast-off drain pipe up here.

It's not so bad. I got to return all the linen, summery stuff I just bought b/c the thrift stores overflow with it now. Plus, the stuff they put out is more amusing; I picked up something from the dubious 'Zegna Sport'(!) line the other day.

(many months later) I just bought one of these too. It's pretty great, and in great shape. So I looked it up. Evidently "invented" by the same guy whose family started Costco. See here:

[canuckstyle]

they were too beautiful to resist, mostly disappointed that they dont fit.

not sure how to go about selling them. never ebayed anything. guess i will have to learn since kijjiji or craigslist is not
the place to get the best price

Gitman Bros is a highly regarded USA shirtmaker, one of the brands which fits in alongside of Brooks Brothers US stuff and Bill's Khakis.

Having never seen a connection between the two companies involved, I found it interesting that Gitman Brothers made that shirt for Burberry, which is a British brand.
