Not thrift but for NWT $16 Japanese Kaihara selvedge jeans, The Gap is worth a visit today. Everything is 50% off, if you use their card it’s another 20 and get the $10 gift card. These were in the back and the only pair of selvedge in the store, but it pays to ask.

For some reason, I’ve had horrible luck selling current Canali. Staple navy could still be worth a pickup tho, at thrift.Buttons are cheap. That current Zegna tie is nice.

Edit: does the tag indicate orphan? And I can’t tell if that’s a stain on the cuff or shadow.

Flip talk spoilered

Spoiler

I’d buy at the thrift but that’s just me. Know for some on here thats a pass and I can see that. Think he’s pointing to the broken button. If that’s the only issue there’s usually a replacement button on the inner pocket I point out in the listing. Last Canali 1934 orphan I had was black and sold for $120.

I'd have bought it probably.

I'm sitting on like 3 sets of gold Canali buttons so I've been looking for a navy blue Canali orphan. For sure would have picked that up and blazerified it.

Fun fact, "Sportcoatable" was first used on the forum 5 years ago yesterday...by yours truly.

Ah yeah the dry cleaner sheen kills it for me

damn i really like that piece for a flip and i consign tailored stuff. bad pass imo.

OOPS: edit didn't see the stuff about the shine. that kills it at all but I'm buying canali these days.

Yep those arms were like a mirror. This one was an orphan with T-rex arms so I got the sleeves lengthened and swapped out the buttons. You can kind of see a bit of fading at the cuffs (thankfully not too bad) so I probably won't do that again with a solid color lol.

All this talk gave me FOMO from #Sportcoatable and #Blazerified so...

I went back to get it lol. Will I ruin it or enhance it? HMMMMMMMMMMM

$8 to roll the dice? Let's play. This is for personal usage, btw.

Change the buttons: Either white, gray, or MoP (already have a navy blazer with brown buttons)
Rip on elbow? I smell elbow patches..

@Coldsnap and I had a meet up!

Kicking it at Drake’s.

We also hung out at Ralph’s where they gave us free drinks and were super super nice.

Purple Label (**** me, £2400 of utter madness)

Then onto Brunello’s gaff. The smell... my god, I’ve never smelt a store that was as fresh.

Relax, its only a lookbook. The people in BC were the nicest employees.

Finally found Cuci & purp! But the pricing in every store was mental. There was a cashmere cuci SC that was £410!

He bought Barbour! #BarbourBoiz

I was determined to find purp that wasn’t priced high! Alas, found nothing.

 

[flipstah]

Awesome!

Furniture gurus - are these anything?

I am going to have to get over my fear of long flights and head across the pond one of these days...

 

[flipstah]

They look uncomfortable as hell, @AlexJ1100. So must be expensive af.

Nothing a little melatonin won't fix. Or horse tranquillizer.

Yo! Had a blast @Purplelabel! London is amazing. I'm having way too good of a time (minus the night I saved my Bumble date's life) here!

 

[flipstah]

Bumble is where it's at, @Coldsnap. Tinder sucks.

So first time seeing Supreme in person. Even I know this is bootleg. If it isn't, I don't get it lol. Hypebeast engage!

Bootleg Gucci too
