    One for you cyclistas, I'll post pics tomorrow. Found what appears to be a 1976 vintage Gitane Campagnolo Team jersey today. The reason I believe it is not a modern retro is the material, it's woven in a 70% acrylic / 30% wool fabric manufactured by Rhone-Poulenc Textiles, trade name "Crylor"...

    Emma and I were at a boot sale this morning and after I'd only managed a vintage Cecil Gee, pure cashmere, fly-front overcoat, she phoned me and told me she'd found me 4 blazers for £12 total. I met her, handed over the £12 and it walked off with 1 x Burberrys' navy melton DB, 2 x Aquascutum...

    I found probably the strangest tie I've ever seen today. What appeared to be a simple black silk tie from Liberty of London, given the dimensions (2.5" wide), I'd estimate it at 1960s. Nothing really special until I turned it over and found this: A spider, a fscking SPIDER FFS. Crafted in...

    Nicola Blasi - What can you tell me about this Neapolitan brand?

     If you're looking for another sports coat by Nicola Blasi, I think I can lay my hands on a couple. Mostly DB with the odd SB in the mix but all of them in noble fabrics (silk, Cashmere etc) Here's a silk tuxedo jacket I have

     4 pairs of socks always works for me. I was once told to put on clean socks every day, by the end of the week I couldn't get my shoes over them

     It was always my belief that it referred to RTW suits: so a 40" chest, drop 6 would have trousers with a 34" waist How many coats or blazers (as opposed to orphan suit jackets), from the same manufacturer, in similar style, have you found with a different drop?

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

     Why mention the drop? It's the difference between chest and waist measurements Grrrrrrrrr this always gets me mad. If there's no loose maker's label to tag through, why don't they tag through the inner placket, below the 3rd button? That way any hole would never be generally visible

     Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much for that. I have subsequently found THIS THREAD from about 18 months ago. It appears that Snr Blasi is held in really high regard. From what little I've so far seen, I can understand why.

     Try your local supermarket and ask for banana boxes. They're sturdy and because they have removeable lids, they stack as high as you can reach. Please don't do what Emma did when she moved down here. I told her to blag as many banana boxes as she could find. When I turned up to her place...

    Tried over on the label thread, with no response.So any assistance from you guys would help: Help in IDing a label inside an ivory silk tuxedo jacket please guys. The black label appears to say Nicola Blair but I can find absolutely no reference to a designer of that name. The shop (Vincci)...
