With all the recent sneaker talk, and specifically the Yeezy queue, I could really use the some help on these (paging [
Thanks in advance all!

Going to say probably, almost certainly not. Rule of thumb on insanely popular sneakers - there are no "deals" on them. Ever. So if you're looking to find one to flip, you probably shouldn't.

Figured as much, these were just poorly marketed/listed, so figured there was a small (albeit unlikely) chance! Thanks anyways!

Had a pretty good RRL run as of late... all from the last few months. I think I had a few more pieces, but I forgot to take pics.

Some sweet finds today.

Roomba 500 series robot vacumn. Already thrifted it's 400 series cousin awhile ago and use it all the time so I'll add this one to my now robot-army.

Harry Rosen (made in Italy) shirt for me
Dunhill and Italo Ferretti ties cheap enough to flip to Bay
Robert Graham shirt XL
Diesel (made in Italy) brown jeans
New HotSox socks for me
Men's black Canali wool scarf for me (audibly went "whoa" when I picked this out of the Gap and beer case scarves)

Just Burberry Brit in my size but it's pink. Has the plaid-check on it so will send to Bay.
Another Robert Graham. Pretty sure I saw this exact one in Harry Rosen recently so this one seems current.

Don't really know much about this but it looks like Frankie Morello does well on the Bay?
Size medium.

 

[Dirt]

That Roomba is the ****.

 

[timhortons]

Is this a thing? It's really heavy... seems fairly nice. Nudie Jeans with selvage

 

[Fueco]

Selvedge Nudies are definitely a thing.

So had a great trip to Mexico and have been trying to catch up on this thread. I was catching up to post a one stop haul of about 20 items including my first zegna cashco. Then something I could have never imagined happened this week.... (I don't usually write much with my posts or have many pictures but since I don't foresee this happening again I'm gonna tell a little bit of the story)
So awhile back I posted a quick back story about a friend of mine who's friends with a billionaire and is given his rotated clothes. So from that he gave me like 8-10 pairs of pants Brioni, zegna, incotex level. It blew my mind!

So this week I got a text from him saying that his buddy just gave him a new drop of 150 items, would I be interested in anything he didn't want?!? I of course said yes I'd gladly take anything... so I went to his house and checked out the things he was keeping and tried in my first kiton cashmere... amazing!

Then after trying on things he was keeping I was thinking he may have a few shirts and pants left over. We then went to his living room and he said all of this is yours if you want it... it was about 50 items! We loaded up the car and headed home to see what we got.... as a heads up I split this with my brother so we had an epic draft for all this stuff. the first things not pictured were about 10 pairs or golf shirts and shorts nothing crazy mostly Peter Millar Nike zegna and silk Tommy Bahamas's.
Here's the shirts... zegna, Brioni, cuci, purple, oxxford, rrl, bel y cia, truzzi

The pants about 20 pairs...mostly incotex and zegna.. also zanella, burdi, barbera

Jeans zegna and Brioni

So all of that was so far beyond amazing but then we checked out the jackets.... you'll likely be able to tell what they are...
Silk blend Brioni buttons

And then there is this guy 100% leather feels like suede given to him because it had a chipped button... not sure why he gave it to us but it doesn't suck

So yeah let's just say that this was an amazing night of drafting clothes. To be clear not thrifted in anyway it was all gifted.. ppu 0. So this is in kc just to give hope to anyone in a mid level city these people who give clothes of this level away do exist. After thanking him repeatedly I asked him what we could do for him and he said he's good but if we come across any Jerry Garcia ties he loves them... hmmm yeah I think I can do that! Happy thanksgiving to all... oh and to make it even better all the clothes just happen to be our size

Carry on.

Do any of you guys recognize this trademark?

I got it because I'm a sucker for a nice "Made In Italy" tag. On a nice, simple coat, kind of like a chore coat or car coat.

Not those. But Reebok x Mastermind Ventilators, Raf Adidas Stans, possibly the Bape x Adidas NMDs and more. But, move to PM so as not to clog up the thread.
