Yeah... I should have done more extensive Googling (Droid here) but I was in a rush and figured "it's genuine alligator, someone has GOT to want it!"

I measured to the furthest hole, and it's 33" unfortunately so it won't even work for my wife.

If any of you gents have a wife who'd be interested, let me know and we can work something out.

I was pleased to find these vintage Florsheim Imperial Kenmoor longwings in cognac, 11D the other day. V cleat, Goodyear welt, double sole, etc. Very good condition. $11.69. Heavy mothers...

Found some nice stuff today.

- Isaia navy trousers
- Incotex khaki wool trousers
- Zanella tonal plaid trousers. Flat front! First pair of FF Zanella trousers I've ever seen!
- Barbour Storm Half-zip sweater. Super heavy and lined.

All are up for grabs as they are too big for me. Pants are 42 waist and the Barbour is an XL.

Sweet...is the Barbour waxed, by any chance? (And those Zanella pants must be pretty new-ish?)

Today: 2 NWT PRL trousers. Patterns, y'all. 38 30-32 -ish. 38s give me a shout. Otherwise, will have to return them.

I have had a few bad experiences with some of my fellow thrifters on ebay(You know who you are).
So I am going ask everybody here if you agree or disagree with me.

1. A moth hole of 1/2" should be listed/noted even if it is on the back of the tie.

2. You are not required by Ebay to list the inseam of pants. However, if the pants on a 38L suit have been hemmed to 27" you should list it in your auction or take a return.

3. NWOT means New Without Tags. Not "I don't think any body wore it, but I might be wrong"

4. If an item is acrylic, but listed and sold as cashmere, you must accept a return. Since acrylic is acrylic and not cashmere. It might have a "Cashmere feel", but it is still acrylic.

1. Agree
2. Measure everything, no exceptions
3. Agree
4. Duh

FWIW, no problem with anybody on the B&S, but a LOT of bad experiences on ebay recently.

Had a low volume but good quality day today. Took the woman out today and made a fun day of it. Took pics, waiting for my girl to stop hogging the laptop so I can post.

Not yet. Still trying to work it out with 2, 3, and 4. #1 might not be a SF member.

Nope - it's a merino wool sweater. Same one found here (same color too!).

The Zanellas are indeed very recent. Wish they fit me!

+1. Acryllic being listed as cashmere?! Jeez....

Good luck trying to work things out with the sellers.

Been a rather drab week. But I finally found some things....

Paul Smith burgundy casual shirt. Size L.
Prada casual shirt. Size XXL. Two Front pockets. All metal snap buttons.
Canali Suit. Size 42 R. Found the jacket first, searched everywhere for the pants and found them!
Hermes tie.

Best thing about the week was buying an Isaia shirt in my size! Not thrifted though....

Are the isaia pants flat front also? interested in pics of the zanellas and isaia if flat front. may be worth it to me to get then and have them taken in in the waist if theyre not too wide in the leg.
