    Any 58XL's out there? For some perspective, the model is 5'8".

    Bijan PS John Laing and Gran Sasso cashmere. Pretty cool Samuelsohn MTM jacket. Looks like an orphan but I'm pretty sure it's not. RLPL suit. It feels so nice to reunite an orphan with his pa(re)nts.

    You shouldn't keep a piece if you're lukewarm about it. You'll run out of room fast and spend more money than you anticipated. You'll find plenty of great things you love. Accumulate slowly and splurge when you find something you really love.

    That jacket. It taunts me. If you two ever have a falling out, let me know.

    Those Brioni silk shirts are like skeet blankets for a certain brand of mook. I kopped a couple for $2.99 and sold them for over $200 each.

    Nice. I feel like I learned much of what I know about thrifting from your mom. Thrift in good health. #fullchort

    Nice haul. And yes, you should look for the "good" Marshalls. I have about a dozen in my area, but only 3 get anything of value. 1 is in the city. 2 are in wealthy suburbs.

    The price tag was for a Zegna jacket. The thief bought a Zegna jacket. Sewed the Zegna labels on a Calvin Klein jacket. Returned the CK. Got a $1k refund. Kept the Zegna.

    Here are some shots of what is going on at Marshalls re: theft of high-end items. Arrow jacket with label ripped off. Replaced with Armani label and tags. Armani label poorly sewn on. Original label removed. $50 jacket returned for $400 Calvin Klein (I think) jacket with...

    Would anyone be interested in a Chrome extension that adds buttons for "Sold" and "Completed" listings near the top of search pages? I got tired of eBay giving and taking away my precious buttons so I just created my own extension. There is already an extension that does something similar but...

    Has anyone else noticed suspicious activity at Marshalls? It looks like some people are buying high-end items and returning cheap replacements. I ran across a very cheap jacket, probably Calvin Klein, which had its label ripped off. In the place of the old label was an authentic Ermenegildo...

    All of St. Andrews tags say that about the pants. Even the tags for overcoats say the pants are lined with 100% cotton. I am 100% confident you have a sport coat, not an orphan. An orphan would say "suit" or "completo". This was actually a point of confusion for someone who bought a LB Sport...

    Thanks. Just some Reno, cream polish, and elbow grease. I always intend to post more but then I never want to take the time to stage a nice photo; and I'm rarely happy with my quick cell phone photos. I'm going to try snapping quick photos when I'm out and post those.
