Thanks. I was too late, it sold.

60s off-brand baby-size smilies. Too cute.

Just back from a week in the extreme south-west of Ireland, way down the Mizen Peninsula.
Thrifting opportunities were few and the pickings were slim, but I did come home with a lovely Holliday & Brown tie, a Charles Tyrwhitt waistcoat, and lastly, a pair of BNWT Dubarry deck shoes. They are ex-store display, and possibly a tiny bit sun faded from being in a window.
Was going to flip them on eBay, but they are a good fit, so I might save them for days out in our canoe.

When a shoe hoarder in Atlanta contacts you out of the blue wanting to get rid of shoes and you end up having to rent a huge ass cargo van. 512 pairs of Allen Edmonds, Alden, Ferragamo, TBNY, good Cole Haan, Barker, Grenson, etc. Straight purchase. No consignment. Sub-thrift pricing. I am exhausted and going to bed.

8.5D is just my size, Doctor !

Good lord. Even when I was in my heaviest smoking period in my early 20s, I was around a pack/day. I can't imagine how sick you'd feel smoking 6 times that amount.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

Plycraft Eames lounger replica for $50; seller says "needs a total redo! not even remotely perfect!"

Worth it? How hard is it to reupholster these?

Extremely hard. My wife and I are working on ours now, and we've got someone to hold our hands through the entire process.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

I think I might've been pack - pack and a half a day in college.

Think about this - it usually takes about 5 minutes to smoke a cigarette. X120= 600, or 10 hours. This dude smoked for 10 hours a day.

What's the best way to wear this real leather waist coat I picked up at a Salvation Army in Hong Kong for $5 USD?

It's got character but I am finding it hard to pair with something in my wardrobe. Curious about ideas.

Stitching looks suspect
