Thrifting

[jonATL]

Yeah, I'm hoping this is more of a currency item. It has 4 people watching it right now, so I'm hopeful ...

As noted earlier, picked up a Brooks Brothers blazer in Loro Piana black/white houndstooth fabric, size 40R. Made in Italy, or so it says. Anyone interested?

[nicholascrawford]

That's beautiful.

[jason_carreira]

What does it measure?

[ninja138]

chest: 43.5 in

waist: 40 in

shoulder: 19 in

length: 30.5 in

sleeve: 25 in with +1.5 in more that can be let out

@greg: The Chanel didn't sell. Want to make an offer?

Reading Dappered has definitely gotten me into a new thrifting addiction. Here's what I found in the last week:




(Clockwise from top) Clarks Desert Boot ($15), Stacy Adams captoe ($20), Lands End gingham button up ($2.50), Millars wool tie ($3), and a Sir Pendleton wool button up ($5). Not too shabby.

Anyone down with knit ties?

Love knit ties... Thing is, all knit ties are made in the same 2 mills in Germany (I think) so a $25 Lands End knit tie is of equal quality to a $200 RLPL knit tie.


I really like vintage Rooster knit ties though.

@jon


Still have those Incotex trousers from a page back? I'd be interested!

And there are some Burberry London khakis floating around somewhere


I was intending to start a pants store on ebay tomorrow, but you (or anyone else) is welcome to first dibs.

@Jon, I appreciate it, but I'm guessing you'll be able to sell it eventually for more than I'd want to pay . I am, however, curious about the sizes of the various pants. Any 32 waist? I'm typically a 32x32 with vanity sizing (so more like 34" waist)

[jonATL]

I have a pair of perfect charcoal J Crew pants in 32/32. Nothing you could wear until the fall, but they are supreme.

shoes I picked up today size 10s
