Awesome suede BB fits me perfect,decisions decisions.


Also this thing,any cigar experts here?
Looks to be vintage,hand carved and made in France.obviously a cigar cutter.
The cutting mechanism is German made and seems to be common but I can't find anything like this.
Drop some knowledge on Frenchy

@txwoodworker
I picked up a wrk thick flannel shirt this week. Some cool stuff in their collection. Nice jacket!

 

[turkey_sandwich]

@Nataku are those 986s available?

 

[eazye]



boyfriend fit.

It buttons left over right though?

That's on the necktie tags IIRC.

I've had more than a few suits/sc's that have had the MG printed on the content/maker tag.

I missed a week. 1200 posts and two ******* stupid hauls. Great read gents. We need, like, sparknotes every couple pages. I'm too exhausted to post pics.

Hahaha, we actually used to do this.

So is this MG then? Off a hand tailored BBGF SC.

Question, and I apologize if this has been discussed (I think it has) as I could not find great info on SF or Google.

It is my understanding the Ralph Lauren Country was an older version of what became RRL? Are these items considered to be at the same desireability level as RRL? I have seen a piece of two in thrifts over time and they seem to be of good quality.
Also, I seem to remember seeing shoes with this label - which I think was green. Maker?

Thanks,

Yup the RL Country is the precursor to RRL. The early stuff was made in the USA and generally of good quality, the later stuff was made in China and not as good. It does not carry the same desirability as RRL. Not even close. I generally only pick it up for myself, unless it's a Native American pattern or something.

I saw some killer white suede NOS RL Country bucks the other day and passed (which pained me) b/c they were 9Bs (and small 9Bs at that) and the resale looked to be nil. They were made in USA. Could go back and take a look if anyone were interested but I doubt they're still there.

Speaking of 'Lo, I scored a Made in USA RLBlueL polo the other day. Is this thing preee what, 1990?

 

[turkey_sandwich]

I asked a while back but don't think I heard anything. Anyone know the market on 1990s Patagonia gear? This thing is in phenomenal condition. Size M. Only thing I'd even bother to mention is the elastic string in the bottom seam is stretched, but I imagine that's an easy fix for someone who cares.
