Stopped by GW on a whim on the way to the gym. Turns out someone exactly my size who was very fond of Saks 5th Ave donated most their wardrobe recently. I picked up a pair of wool Zanella pants, Incotex Inco Chinos, a pinstripe Armani Collezioni suit and an Armani Collezioni sports coat. and all at 25% off

I took the shoes by the cobbler yesterday. He's going to strip the black polish off (the real color is a nice deep burgundy) and polish them up, so they should look pretty sweet. I'll post pics on Friday.
Yes, they are shell, and the guy seemed pretty excited about them. He told me that these are shoes I can give my grandkids. He was really floored when I said I picked them up at goodwill.

Apparently Manx tweed is from the Isle of Man. http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?105790-Tweeds-by-region
I don't know if it's a rare find or not. Probably not.
@BenR: I'll make a judgment call on the shoes when I get them back from the cobbler. I know these are amazing shoes, but I'm starting to get wary of exceeding my wife's patience for thrifted shoes. In the two months I've been doing this, I've brought home 8 pairs; I've only kept 3, but still (I'm still kicking myself for selling those C&J boots, though I did make a tidy bit of change on the ebay sale).
