I'd like a peek at them as well...I get the feeling that antirabbit and I are the same size for clothing and shoes...not good for me because he's quicker at picking out the winners from B&S.

Been slow on my thrift route. However I did see an interesting sport coat called "Five Eleven" Normal looking coat with holders for guns and ammo built into the inside. Still new with tags size 44R probably still there if anyone is interested in that kind of thing.

How could a wife possibly object to her husband being superbly and stylishly shod? Uh, you can tell I've never been married.

Yeah no kidding... at least she's coming around to the "I'm paying $10 for a $1000 sport coat" argument regarding thrifting. Of course then it goes from the argument of spending money to "there's no room in your closet." It never, ever stops.

Passed up a Les Copains 3 btn blazer today. Anyone know anything about the label? Should I go abck and grab it? It didn't seem like anything special (it was fused, not handwork, etc). I'm more iffy on "gambles" from the Salvation Army because they have a no-return policy. Today I found what looks like a boy's large Burberry wool pullover shirt and a men's 100% cashmere Polo RL cable-knit sweater. It's beautiful. Looks brand new, no pilling or anything. Also included are photos of yesterdays finds (got my camera back today). The HF suit uses Loro Piana Tasmanian Super 120s fabric.

What size are the suits Nataku? You've been on quite the Burberry suit roll.
