3:30pm - Epicville

8.5" :)smarmy:) of solid tusk, fashioned to be a bottle opener. Ive never seen anything like this, its one of the coolest pieces of desiderata that Ive ever found. As they would say on Storage Wars, "I need to get this one checked out". Im hoping that its Ivory, could be a boar tusk, anyone have any insight? To be honest, it sure as **** looks like ivory to me… which would put this at one of the best finds of my career, personally.


Looks like warthog or wild boar to me.

The Allen Edmonds are 8A.  The as yet unidentified chukkas are untagged, but I estimate they are about 9-9.5 C


Damn, you can never tell from the pics. Was hoping for sasquatch sizes.

Hit three stores yesterday, everything is available except the patagonias

Dope Patagonia reversible fleece and windbreaker (N/A)


Viyella cotton/cashmere (XL)




Steven Alan (Small)


J.Press 3/2 roll (tagged 50)




Ben Silver by Samuelsohn






Current label (I think) Ben Silver by Samuelsohn (3/2 roll, center vent, 2x patch pockets)





Patagonia Base


Altea, Charvet, random W. Germany silk braces


Is this anything special?


These are the buttons on the Ben Silvers, I take it they are just normal metal?
