For my girl. She’s only 5’ so I’m always happy to find cool stuff in her size, as it doesn’t happen very often.

That's an interesting Brioni, and here's the story: the SSSSSS logo is from the old Syms stores (there were once 48 or so in 13 states, and the legendary Filene's Basement in Boston was a subsidiary). I researched this 20 years ago when I lived in the Boston area (and Filene's was still around), as I used to find quite a lot of CM with that label. Sy Syms liked to buy unlabeled "white stock" from various houses, including Brioni, as we see here, and then apply his own SSSSSS logo. You had to know your inside labels to figure out who made a particular garment (as that's how I would list them). This one's easy of course, but some of the others were a stretch, and certainly helped me develop some knowledge of manufacturer labels. Your CM trivia for the day . . .

Single needle T-shirt day.





This is really cool. 80s (maybe 70s?) Red Stripe Jamaica souvenir tee, still in the original plastic bag. Not sure what I’m gonna do, keep it bagged or open and wear it…

Nice marantz, turns on, not sure if it has sound. 30% old guy discount, so worth the chance

Superscope owned Marantz from 1966 until the early to mid 80s when they sold it to Philips. That is not a Marantz, however it is worth a lot more than 6 beans

Yup, we had this conversation in this thread years ago. I can’t remember what I did yesterday but I do remember that Syms had private labels making their tailoring for them back in the day. 😂😂😂

Took a Tokyo trip after a few years of abysmal German thrifting. That city absolutely ruined vintage shopping for me, nothing will ever compare to it.

I ended up buying way too much but thought I'd highlight my two favorite "true-thrifts" opposed to some of the higher priced stuff. Pedals are NIB titanium MKS

week’s best, cool coats on the hottest days of the year -

reversibles stay winning (pop)

beefy 50s (?) wool shacket in a superb colorway

no tags left but a small teepee patch with a maple leaf, probably a keeper

knew this was special from like 10 feet down the rack, thanks “nomad”

another likely keeper, scratches the oversized milsurp bomber itch nicely.

cwu-55, patches are just icing

pop on dsquared, seemingly unworn waxed rider

9% wax?!

imo CP Shades is severely under hyped

typically i find unisexish womens stuff from them that doesn’t quite work for me but this slouchy chore coat in irish linen is just right

and this is an odd one, perhaps a thread first?

i didn’t even know Donna Karen had an high end line (urban zen)

initially scanned as really well made vintage until i saw elaborate tags. has a few issues but still…

a few nice vintage accessories - bean buckskins, PRL Blackwatch

and my mom found these super sick b&l ray bans and gave them to me! “thought you might like these”

finally, a snapshot of what i’ve been up to the last few days-

sorting through a pristine collection of science fiction and fantasy books spanning the last 60 years…

wheat or chaff? stay tuned… and stay cool!
