Vanishing Elephant? I have some Gilt credit I've been looking to get rid of. Also, anyone know how the sizing runs? The model is a suit 40 and he's wearing a 36 in the pic that's obviously too small.

However it is from 2008 and may be impossible to actually find. This is the smaller version of the same bag:

For sizing reference, here it is worn, in smoke rather than black.

Finally, there is this version, which is similar to the one above.

Here is the issue. Do I:
a) Wait for the first bag, ie the one I started out looking for, and possibly never find it,
b) Buy the second bag, which I can do now,
c) Wait for a month, since the dude in that last fit pic says there is a good chance he will sell me the bag next month,
d) Buy the small bag, wait a month, buy the other bag, and then sell whichever one I find less useful?

I am leaning toward the last option.


those boots, my god. do want

Nubuck or black pebbled dayton service boots? Leaning towards the nubuck but they might look too similar to my augustas? :|

I went with the oiled black myself, already have too much suede and distressed boots.
