LOL! I've gotten some amazing deals there though. One of the best was maybe 8 years ago when I got a $2K Dolce & Gabbana charcoal cashmere overcoat for $300, but they always have Hickey Freeman SCs for $300, Robert Talbott pocket squares for $10, etc. Pretty solid deals on shirts and ties too, but they don't carry a lot of my current faves (Drakes, Cappelli, E. Marinella, etc.) Cheap source of CK underwear too.

Fair points -- my style tends away from a vast majority of the brands they carry (save HF and the like), so it makes trips there less likely to end with a nice pickup. Mostly just headaches.

I change my mind a lot. I've recently sold about 5 pairs of shoes while acquiring 3 other pairs so its actually not that many. I'd have to count to be sure but I think it's between 10-12 if you don't include anything sneaker-like. Ill have to take some pics of the collection once these new ones come in. Even I have trouble keeping track of hat I actually have at the moment.

Ha, OK, I was picturing dozens of shoes, didn't realize you were moving some out at the same time.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ...

Yeah, you gotta wade through a lot of downright weird items ("mesh t-shirt? Not today, thanks") to find the gems, but when you find them it's pretty great. Even so, I haven't been to the downtown one in years because of the crowds. Dear god, the crowds...I think I still have ptsd.

The downtown one has all sorts of odd brands I've never heard of and stuff that I would never ever wear (and some I would propose no one should wear). There's always a zillion European tourists using the advantageous exchange rate to stock up on European brands. Chaos! The UWS one is a little more civilized and has the more mainstream stuff like Hickey Freeman, but the downtown one gets the $2K cashmere coats for $300.

I have 8 at the moment in my closet including my Sperry boat shoes. But I have another 3 in the other room waiting to be sold and 3 that I'm waiting on to arrive. So that would be 11 pairs total once everything is said and done.

I sold my AE Park Aves when I got the AS Armfields and sold the AE Malverns when I got the Loake Kemptons. I'm basically just replacing stuff. It still costs me money but I recoup some of the costs with the sales of the older shoes.

Purchased a couple pairs of AE shoes recently (separately, not during the 2 for $250 closeout sale). Really into the snuff suede look...should work nicely heading into the fall.

Got all these for 30 bucks!

@JHEyerman - great job on the multiple PS!

trying out Massimo Dutti:

http://www.massimodutti.com/webapp/w...OTTON%2BBLAZER
- Sized up to a 40 based on what I've heard about the fit. Wool/cotton blend in Navy. The regular price is really high, so I'm hoping the quality is nice on it. The jacket is a bit short but so is my torso. If it works, could become a staple for me. I have a navy Eddie Bauer blazer in wool but the shoulders are a bit traditional and there's no way to dress it down IMO.

Also, this shirt was on sale in my size, has a bit of linen in it. Looks work-friendly: http://www.massimodutti.com/webapp/w...TRIPED%2BSHIRT

Best part is free shipping and returns

These came in 2 days ago. They were already pretty clean, but after doing some AcousticFoodie refurbishing magic . . .

[Shetenonu]

I took advantage of H&M's online sale and bought a gray sweater for $8. The other sale items I wanted are out of stock in my size.

These arrived for me today. They are a wedding gift from my wife. Ordered them weeks ago but only came in store yesterday.

So my Bonobos order came in. Those yellow oxleys. Totally see-through.... Definitely returning them. They aren't "hugging" at all and you can easily see the pockets and your underwear depending on the color.
The green champlains are nice.

Mitch, these look fantastic. Congratulations vis-à-vis the wedding!

[Vicious49]

Those Church's shoes look great.

Unfortunately those whole cut shoes I just got aren't as comfortable as I had hoped so they're going right back on Ebay. Guess the Last just didn't suit my foot.
