Attempting to liquidate my store of thrifted **** over the summer, and would appreciate some input on the following. Can anyone identify the maker? I originally picked it up a while ago because of it's LP Zelander fabric. There's a whole in the lining of the armpit, so I would be happy to get rid of it at cost. Measures to about a 43R/L.

Sometimes, I do too.
You're looking at about $80 if I listed it on a good day.


Hmm. Spoo-listed: $80. Me-listed: $12.
Net loss: Check.
Waste of time: Check.
Glad I left it behind: Check.
A couple minutes exploring a pretty well made garment: Check. I'm happy enough with that. Thanks Spoo.

Etro 100% flaxxx cutaway collar shirt (thrift)
....it's the best tailored, slimmest shirt I've ever picked up. I imagined full on Robert Graham via Milan for the first Etro I'd find, not the case.

I might be tripping like a motherfucker, but that first piece looks like an Attolini label to me. Full disclosure; I'm on my cell phone and can't search and am only guessing based on memory. Definitely looks high quality, imo.

I also picked up a pair of grey Grenson Suede penny loafers off the bay that are way too big. I believe they're a US 9/9.5. Just looking to get cost back, as I haven't worn them.

I went to a couple of places today and came up with some more SW&D stuff I don't know too much about. But here are the highlights:

  • CREEP by Hiroshi Awai (?) white on white on white striped shirt with filled circles all over it L.

Nothing crazy MSRP or construction-wise, but a total grail find for me. If that were a medium, I'd be all over it. Hiroshi's stuff is coveted by people in the know because it follows the whole Visvim/Nonnative/Nepenthes trend, but is made in China with lots of crazy details. I will one day own the cardigan he debuted in 2010...it was on Gilt once but I slept on it, of course. Totally campy with the anchor detail, but I'm a sucker for shawl collars and wooden buttons, not to mention the Thom Brown shout out stripes.

+1 I'm thinking Attolini as well.

I just started thrifting not too long ago.

I got a Brooks Brother shirt today. 16/33 It fits really well.

managed to stop by the store where this thrifting obsession began last night.

J. Press Grey Herringbone - 3r2 Jacket Flat Front Pants (42R - 35x31) <--- Thats a total guess as it fit me very nicely. Probably available to the guys who love J. Press.


Brooks Brothers Makers Staple Chalk Strip 3Button Flat Front Pants - Maybe Available


Brooks Brothers Navy 'nailhead' (?) 3 Button Jacket Pleated Pants - Available


Allen Edmonds McAllister Black 'Wings. Size 14! Available


Not pictured is Made in Italy '1818 Fitzgerald' Tan Suit that fit me perfectly and 2 Hickey Freeman (recent tag) for Paul Simon that fit my dad.

Measurements to follow sunday evening.

Also - There were a couple of BB suits that were made in Mexico and a Burberrys Suit with this label - should I pick these up on my way back through?
