It may be a little out of the wheelhouse for this forum, but I recently got my hands on a Samuelsohn midgray windowpaine suit for 75% off. It was still more than half a grand, but it's full canvassed super 140's wool from E. Thomas. Really beautiful suit.

I got it from a local men's store that runs really great clearances twice a year.

In addition to that I picked up an Eredi Pisano wool over coat for around 400 while I was in San Francisco on business. More Italian in style than I would normally go for, but it actually fit extremely well.

Sounds like you got a couple of deals!

Wow!! I lucked into a Samuelsohn jacket while thrifting once and they really are amazing.

Just bought two plain wool sweaters on Ledburys winter sale and they are great. Maybe not original price $195 great but I’m very happy for $65 each with the extra 30% (now 40%) off.

They’re a little chunky while still being very well fitted. Great feeling wool and super warm and comfortable. Would strongly recommend if they’re available in your size. S fits great and I’m 5’8” 150lbs.

Funny... I had them in my cart just this morning and took them out because they seem pretty chunky. Sounds like the chunk is just right for you, though? I'm 5-9 1550-160, always right in between s/m. Is there more room in that S or would you recommend the M?

I had a horse tenderloin steak in Iceland and it was delicious. I really don't see why we don't eat it here in the US. I mean, all that shell cordovan has corresponding meat.

sentimentality and social norms. no technical reason. dog and cat too. if you take the emotion out of it, the stray dog and cat population int he US is large and the money it takes to house and euthanize animals isnt minor. The hunger issues we face wouldnt be solved by connecting these dots but it would help. but I would have a hard time eating dog/cat myself.

Typically the meat is sent overseas, and the hides (and corresponding shell beneath) are sold to various tanneries (with most shell going to Horween).

At least that's how the canadian horse slaughterhouses do it. Others may vary.

That's quite a splurge! I've never had it. But now it's on my list of must-tries.

Delish! My favorite watering hole in Chicago has a bottle of The Boss Hog and I'll usually splurge on a pour when I visit. I swear, each time the bottle is at the same level it was when I was last there
