Cross post that bad boy to the THE OFFICIAL VINTAGE CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES THREAD

I was unaware of that thread's existence. Will check it out!

Prada but it's been up for a while.

That tag was better than the site anyway haha. Zegna?

I just picked up a suit with that same tag. And it was made in Italy and has the zegna traveller cloth as shown. Confused me as it makes it seem like it's a different maker than Zegna proper. Insights?

And pop on first non-denim RRL thrifted, along with a few more vintage Pendleton to add to my collection. Sadly the lighter colored one has quite a few moth holes I didn't catch until after purchase.

Only find yesterday - a pretty nice Belvest sports jacket. First time I've ever found Belvest in the UK; I'm not aware of any stockists over here. Tagged 52C European, fits like a 40 short. Buttery soft wool.

On my way out of the city to visit a friend I hit a thrift shop I rarely go to. Left there with 20+ pairs of men's pants from the 1980's from Matsuda/Nicole, Yohji Yamamoto, Comme Des Garcons, and Issey Miyake. Crazy pleats all over, lots of weird materials, low crotches, etc. I'll take photos when I can. Is anyone an expert on the Japanese designers in the 1980's? It's really intriguing stuff.

Previous post: "I just picked up a suit with that same tag. And it was made in Italy and has the zegna traveller cloth as shown. Confused me as it makes it seem like it's a different maker than Zegna proper. Insights?"

Yes....as you can see the tag just identifies the cloth the suit was made from. Just like all the suits you see with Loro Piana tags, you have to look at the size/material tag to see where it was made, and perhaps by the looks of the tag who actually made the suit. There are many many different makers using the Zegna cloth to choose from but only one of them is ...ZEGNA!

I'll post pics later of stuff but have you ever met a female flipper at your local store who's just a huge ****? This motherfucker literally grabbed items out of my hand when I was looking through the racks.

Odd... Why has she been allowed to behave in such a manner? If the crazy ***** tried that down here (with many of the flippers that I know), she will be on a soft foods diet for a while. We tolerate competition, but never rudeness or outright theft.

those white guccis.... I had a pair once...my wife's cousin eddie gave them to me.... said he noticed me looking at the pair he had the last time we visited and got em for me as a gift.

I like this "eddie" guy. Send him over here so we can play darts, get wasted. And party around Tokyo.

He can keep the shoes, thoughtful people are my kind of people.

The Swag is real.

Hit up @easye. He digs it. I know a little. But not as much as you need

Early estate sale. Some teaser pics. Been looking for a blackwatch cashmere scarf so I was excited about that. Bergdorf vest is leather and cashmere lined. Can't complain when your total is 10 bucks.

I'm sure that @ATLjon is familiar with "red" - she's a real piece of work. You'll come across her sooner or later, @concealed, if you haven't already.
