Auction 7: Were camels the original thirst trap? What does that even mean? A natural camel hair shawl cardigan from @eHaberdasher

Let's start the bidding... now. This auction will end on 12/19

There is a lot of merit to natural fibers, even more when they're already beautiful in their natural state. Camel hair has always had this great color to it, and a shawl cardigan in this warm, soft, classic and luxurious material is iconic. Pick a decade (ok maybe not the 2000s but I'd love to be proven wrong) and you'll find a camel hair shawl cardigan in the best men's stores and catalogues.

eHaberdasher has put together a great one here with a well-balanced collar, classic leather buttons, and two hip pockets to round things off. Made is Scotland (as it rightfully should be!) and retails at $695. This one is a special order so will ship in late January, making for a very nice post-holiday treat just in time for the true brutality of winter.



We will start the bidding at 1/2 of the retail of this package, or $348. The bidding will go by increments of $25.

Please bid generously and often! As with all of these auctions, everything will be going to support a long-time Styleforum member who has ALS.

I won this last yes
...I FVCKING LOVE IT. IT IS AMAZING. YOU WANT TWO. TRUST ME

And I won this two or three years ago and can attest that @PhilKenSebben is not lying about the quality. I wear mine all the time from about November to March.

I think @greekgeek needs to bid on this one so we can all wear matching sweaters at our next Waffle House meat up.

Guys, calm down. Unlike you two, I am not nearly old enough to rock that, yet...

Jk, I do like it though.

Really, I just want you to buy it, never wear it, store it for 3 years until mine starts to wear out a bit, and then sell it to me at a discount. Because your wife made you, just like yo have done with all the other **** you have sold me 😂


Nobody has a wider variety of random stuff bought at random times in random aces around the Midwest than @greekgeek's import/export discount shop: Come for the alligator leather, stay for the spanikopita

To be fair, the score for both is done by J. G. Thirlwell.

And just now the Greek delivers by texting us pictures of a beautiful brand-new-looking leather bag he's probably had squirreled away in his basement for a decade. 😄

Whoever runs the auction next year should reach out to him to try to donate some leather goods or something. I'm convinced he's actually running a rogue Hermes store out of his house or something.

SO MUCH FVCKING WIN!!

That reminds me, dibs on first right of refusal for when you dump that Express #2 in favor of your flashy new arm candy (luxe bag 😎).
