My best day of thrifting ever! I found all of these in one day at two stores (pictures forthcoming when my wife returns with the camera).
Just found the mother lode of shoes - the first 5 are clearly from the same owner, all are in used but excellent condition except the Santonis, which are like new; alas, only the last three of the bunch fit so the rest will eventually have to go on ebay:
Ferragamo black captoe
Ferragamo black wingtip
Ferragamo black tassel loafer
Church's dark brown suede oxfords
Santoni chestnut captoe
AE Park Avenue in black
AE Sanfords in black
AE Chester in burgandy
Mezlan mid-brown captoe
Total cost: ~$87
Also, after a bunch of near-misses, usually due to a small hole or stain or slight fitting problem, I finally found a suit that I felt worth buying - it is a great heavy wool, navy with light white windowpane from Brooks Brothers, $25. I've been wanting a windowpane suit so this is perfect. Had to leave behind a brand new Hickey Freeman with Loro Piana 120's fabric - the dreaded long jacket that is hard to spot on the rack but always rears its ugly head in the mirror.
