Btw, if anyone ever has questions about pens, Fountain, Rollerball, or Ball Point; I have a very extensive collection, and should be able to authenticate, and give you info on pretty much everything you find. Just hit me up.

Been pretty slow here but they have started putting out the sweaters.

Picked this up today on the assumption that someone here might want it. Any idea on age? Thinking 70's. In pretty good shape. PM me if interested.

As the oldest He sold the stores and had to go over and help them with their tire bainneas and life in their house and went from running a pizza chain to doing odds and ends for his parents in a country that was no longer where he wanted to be. It was a very difficult transition and eventually he could no longer take the life his was living and had a basic falling out with his parents and led their house to do his own thing... This was all very difficult in every way. If you want to talk with someone who's been in a similar situation just pm me and I can likely set up a call or connection. Glad you at least felt comfortable to vent to this forum. What a testament to the group that's been formed. Awesome group guys!!

I don't think I've ever posted anything I've made alone from start to finish, so here's something. Heres a 3/4 length smoking jacket/robe in linen. Fit pic is still mostly basted and nothing has been pressed or ironed yet, so please excuse the wrinkles. Will still be tweaking the fit a bit. Comments & Criticism welcome.

Make me one

The killer Friday continues... after cursing my lack of luck in finding shoes, I found NWOT Oak Street Bootmakers mocs and Quoddy loafers in the span of a few days.

Oak Streets from a few days ago:

Domenico Vacca pink/red over white stripes.

Helmut Lang 100% cashmere

Seize sur Vingt cords

Mystery cord jacket made of Veluto Duca Visconte di Modrone corduroy. Anyone have thoughts as to who the maker might be? Tags are cut out.

...and the big winner for the day, a limited edition Billykirk 196 Messenger Bag for JCrew in Harris Tweed, #29/30 made. Appears never used.

Haha was about to inquire about the Oak Street, only to look at eBay listings and see that you've already sold them! Nice!

PLaydice, you old son of a gun...

I gotta possible PLaydice find:

NIKE t-shirt advertising the Nike Cortez ("Nike Blue Ribbon Sports, featuring the Cortez"). Made in Mexico, but at least as far back as the 80s. Cool cheezy rubbery graphics.

Can you confirm I've just won a million dollars?

(Also a Super Bowl '86 shirt, original '98 Titanic movie tee [lol], a Pepsi Challenge shirt, and some other 80s shiz cause Beach City, USA knew I was coming).

The convict who almost put down Cappy remains at large.
