I'm late to the voting too. I don't have anything to compete with, but I'd like to vote. Where do we see the items under consideration? (I'd like to check out the Lobbs)

Are samuelsohn suits worth picking up? I just saw three at the last store I was at. I also saw a beautiful and recent PRL SC with a ticket pocket, double vent, skinny lapel, etc. except the cuff was damaged at the edge, so I wasn't sure I could resell. I would have bought it if it were my size, but it wasn't even close.

Edit: I just looked at the hierarchy thread. I see HF mainline suits EVERYWHERE. Should I be taking them to resell?

I bought a nice pair of Cole Haan high lace boots (Bluchers) in dark brown the day after Thanksgiving at their 50% off sale for $150 at the Outlet Mall in Destin. . .

Blatantly stolen from AAAC, but I thought this was a great idea. What are the strangest/coolest/most mundane things you've found in the pockets of thrifted clothes? Money? Jewelry? Condoms(new, hopefully)? Gum wrappers? I'd be willing to bet there's a lot of interesting stuff that's been discovered. My biggest finds so far have been a program for a wedding and reception(these people had everything planned out to the smallest detail), and an old lapel pin for PanAm Airlines. Can anyone top that?

I tried to sell thrifted HF mainline in the past but wasn't terribly successful. It did have some wear on the pockets, so maybe folks were turned off by that. It's quality stuff, but doesn't seem to command much of a price when used. I always pick up a HF sports jacket/suit in my size, but will only take another size for resale if it's in mint condition.

What size and how bad was the damage to that PRL? If it's a 42R, please let me know (42R PRL fits me perfectly because of the softer shoulders and the shorter length).
