Lining says "Dolce & Gabbana". Perhaps one of our resident experts can chime in and help me out.

Nat, thats real, dates to about 2002 ish.

I set the reserve at 3 grand thinking it would hit like 1800, then relist it for a couple hundred more than the highest bid with a buy it now. Now i'm just gonna leave it LOL

Thanks (to Mainy as well) for the help! I'm kinda lost when it comes to big-label fashion stuff that is often counterfeited.

That's insane! That there is probably a once-in-a-lifetime score right there! I could use one of those right about now and pay my car off.....

Since a decent one runs about $800-$1000, you could easily make those a reality!

Lurked on and off for a bit now, decided to post after this. Found a Sy Devore Blazer in good condition today that fit's me almost perfectly (normally wear a 42r, not sure of this one's measurements), any idea what this would be worth?

That's a pretty good deal! Have fun!

Best day of thrifting ever. Picked up an excellent condition brooks brothers makers grey pinstripe suit. 39r and 32waist. I am normally a 40l, but this was just to good to pass up. May be willing to consider offers. I will post pictures tomorrow!

The second time I hit up a Talize in my city (Mississauga, Ontario), I found a very nice Mexx brown pinstripe suit (44R, 36x30 pants). Normally $30, but since it was everything half-price that day, it was only $15. I've also found some pretty good dress shirts (Boss, Sean John, Hilfiger), but nothing truly mind-blowing.

ps if anyone is a 40 short and you are in the toronto area PM me and i will tell you where i saw a brand new Kiton 2 button single breasted orphan suit jacket today.
