dig,

If you are half as good-natured IRL as you come across on this forum, you're one helluva good dude.
Ask any of my neighbors. They'll tell ya...!

i like how you guys have accentuated the verticality of the space with those bars, and with those strong horizontal lines providing a certainly insouciant rhythm to the architecture.

bought two ties today; Hermes and Battistoni
I listed them on Ebay as a pair. Not sure how
old they are because the are only about 3 inches
wide.

Day of FAIL today. Found a decent pair of brown Zegna Napoli Couture loafers but are a size 8.5 Also found a MINT 3 btn single breasted, peak label Oxxford suit. Very recent. Side vented. Boy did my heart sink when I found that they matched up a pair of Perry Ellis pants to this! Original pants nowhere to be found. They're not even the same color, let alone the same pattern.

I did not come within one mile of any thrift store locations known to me today.

Not sure what this fact has to do with anything so...

Indeed. It may have worked for you too, it is a 46 L. I grabbed the jacket anyway to fill a void as it's the nicest thing I've come across in awhile and it could possibly work as a sportcoat.

I was about to ask you guys about henry poole and co on saville row, but on TV some story about the wedding in london started talking about the bespoke uniforms of the guards walking in it.

Quesion anwered!

At least you caught your mistake. I bought a Hickey-Freeman suit one time that had mis-matched pants but they were so close that I didn't notice until I got it home and in decent lighting. Some of the best stores around here have no dressing rooms or they have one and the lady ahead of me has a shopping cart full of stuff to try on. Luckily, I was only out $5.99.

PS - I've received all of the stuff you sent and it is amazing. The Kuhlman coat is making it's debut this Sunday. You rock! - though my wife saw a $160 dollar credit card charge to someone name "Nataku" and immediately assumed I had visited a message parlor

Yea Kuhlman stuff is cool. I found a few dress shirts in our size, but don't really wear them much.

funny story couple of weeks back this woman answered one of my furniture ads on CL for a teak coffee table and asked me if i could deliver it for an extra $20 so i said sure why not.
so i get to the adress and walk in,but theres nobody there.it looked like a "spa".
i didnt think anything of this as i had upsclae hair salons and tanning salons buy teak off me before.
so the further i go in, i see scented candles and stuff but still nobody to be seen,this was around 11 am so again didnt think anything of it,till a half naked asian chick walks out to see whats the shouting is all about.
yup,it was a "parlour" (rub n tug) it turns out the adress was 170 B (on top of the storefront with an entrance in the back) and the parlour was a 170 A.
i had a good laugh but my girlfriend wasnt amused,who is also asian.
anyway got to see some boobies for free and got $250 in cash off the other chick for the table so not bad for a days work all before lunch.
(ps i dont have pics of this,so it probably didnt happen)
