Canali DB suit, $40. Too big for me, and I don't know if it would flip for much.

That Canali is definitely older and anything Canali is hard to sell, even NWT stuff can't even be given away. I can't figure out why....

This is Texas: that's not a question we ask in polite society...

It's OK to ask as long as you don't judge.

I probably paid too much today, but scored a Brioni suit 42Long, 32x32 pants
listed on Ebay for $125 obo. It's about 10-12 years old.

If it fits, for that price you wont find a better quality suit.

A few shoe finds, need some help IDing the black cap toes. I can make out Diplomat on the side, but that is all. They are admittedly not in the best shape, but all these are pre-shining. They do have a nearly new re-sole/heel job. The boots are full quill ostrich, and of course the wingtips are Ferragamo's. After doing some checking, the Diplomat is a Church's model, right? Also got a Norman Hilton suit in 40 R in olive glenplaid.

Did a little out of town thrifting tonight. I came across a guy going through dress shirts with purpose, although lost some respect when he used a shopping cart without much stuff. So if you were at the Sandy Springs Goodwill, I saw you!

I had no luck at two GWs.

I love how nobody knows what pocket squares are or how expensive they are so they're always like 50 cents. Amazing.

Also saw a few pairs of AE's but they were overpriced so left em. Savers overprices EVERYTHING....

pics, nothing mindblowing but i like the ties:

L-R- Silk, silk, wool, wool, wool, linen, linen, silk!

also, navy with red polka dots hermes square. is this legit?

Good pass on the Canali. I bought a Propesta DB about nthis time last year I might have made $7.00 on. It was a gourgous suit.

That said I love Canali. I think it blows Armani and Zegna away suit wise (similar prices points). I have two suits and they wear well and the quality is fantastic.

I left an XL Canali sportshirt at one place. Something seemed off about the colors so I handed it to a guy who it would fit. He seemed happy. I found a pair of black AE Chesters in size 9D

One Sulka / L but it fits like a 2X

One Lorenzini / L (seems about right).

A Bullock and Jones tie

These ties, too. The B&J, BB and three Angelo Bosani (I dunno, they looked good.) The blue, bird's eye Corneliani dress shirt behind the ties is an 18.5/46.

And one more last minute find of a Blue and Yellow rep BB tie I'm tired. Crap...forgot. Brooks Brothers Seersucker(?) SC Golden Fleece?

RedRaider · Apr 11, 2011

No clothes today, but did find two 4-ton jack stands, brand new, $20 total. Score in my book!!

ShayaEXQT · Apr 11, 2011

Picked up a few nice things today, 2 Zegna ties and a Bottega Veneta, never seen one of those before and a really nice luciano barbera sweater, no label that says the material but it feels like a really soft wool, label says size 50 any interest PM me.
