Karl Lagerfeld hat.

Joe Namath Arrow shirt.

POLO leather jacket. Large. selling it for 150$

Tiny Jansport.

Stone Island Windbreaker. the retail on these is high..........

Another vintage motorcycle jacket. size 40. for sale. talon zipper. DM me we will go over a sweet deal.

Anyone recognize where this shirt/robe is from. I got it from a local famous hippie artists estate, she was a traveller. I found this balled up smelling like rank hippie sweat, but its hand sewn all over. appears to be cotton and hemp. and some parts are knit like a rug. all parts have variations like hand woven. My first peasant rag, so im hoping to learn some stuff.

Damn you're good! Just checked and it is indeed goose down. I only saw the synthetic percentage and assumed it was the nano. Goes to show I need to look closely!

I'm an idiot. Thanks again for the sweater, @highvoltorb

Oh, and if I traded with you or sold you something in the past several weeks and then sent you a panicked message to find out if I'd shipped you my new pair of Bill's by accident, I just found them. They'd been delivered to the house one street over two weeks ago by a novice postman and just now made their way 'round to me.

Unless it is a personal suit for myself, I always pass EZ (and Dormeuil) fabric suits that don't have indication of maker.

This one is trofeo fabric and looks like a lardini tag so I would have picked it up.

Yea, there really can't be a "general rule of thumb" because there is such a vast disparity between the manufacturers that utilize EZ's fabrics and it also matters which type of EZ fabric they are using. If I find a suit made by Isaia that has the Tessuto Ermenegildo Zegna Trofeo Wool tag in it, I'm pickin that **** up for sure...but if I find a Saks 5th Ave Suit without a recognizable manufacturer tag and the Tessuto EZ Wool on it, I'm passing. If you use Vicuna but have a ****** constructed suit, it's just a ****** suit that sucks that happens to be made of unobtanium. So I guess there is a general rule of thumb, if you recognize the manufacturers tag and it's crafted by a brand that doesn't suck, pick that **** up.

I find all the saks brand stuff does poorly unless unique or vintage.

If you're buying it to flip, it still gets you the key word searches.
