Giving PL a hard time...he was supposed to ship me a pair of shoes and he got stuck in Corona Hell in the Philippines ?

well hopefully he ships you those shoes!

right at the bottom?

you could re hem, you'd lose an inch and it would clean it all up. seems simpler than trying to re weave at a seam.

Not personal—A flip.

Pics. It's a true polo coat—martingale back and all (single missing button notwithstanding). The holes are on the "inner" flap of the DB, but clearly goddamn enormous. Heartbreaking.

I’d box it up and send it back

A lot of obesity was spread this day

So, for whale watchers, are you saying it was a target rich environment?

There was a lot of Florida Georgia Line playing that day. Gotta love our poor (6-7 figure making) red neck population

I would get that fixed. Still well worth $100 (in my opinion). If I were buying that to wear and it arrived like that, I'd flinch--but it's not a huge deal. If you're re-selling it, i guess you have to do a cost-benefit.

Following up to my last post...
I snapped a couple pics of the painting and emailed them along with a polite request for information on the piece (if available) and literally 25 minutes later get a call from the artist’s son (who then translates between myself and his father). It’s legit, and in their words it is the first -or one of the first- paintings he did on this particular religious moment. So the historical importance of this piece goes way up. Going to be in communication with them and see what comes of it. Kinda crazy.

Not a bad 2nd day back at it. There is only one thrift store within reasonable driving distance that has opened back up so far. Along with the already mentioned painting, found the below guitar, couple pair of MJ sunnies, and a couple larger decent but not brag worthy furniture pieces for potentially personal use. It appears they haven’t really done any new clothing processing, not sure if due to short staffing or some sort of caution due to the sickness I haven’t seen much about. The Tecatevirus or something like that. I’ll look into it, haha.

Update: I'm re-weaving it myself. It won't be perfect, but it will be more than good enough to sell and wear. Larger of the two holes is already almost done. Hard work, but I've certainly got the time on my hands rn

Big shoutout to @tonylumpkin. I expressed an interest in the Oxxford hangars and now they show up at my door. What a kind gesture and typical of this thread. Thank you sir.

Just a little Virusmas bonus! Happy to see them put to good use.

For sending me the "bootleg" YSL shirt.
In my hands? It's real.
Going to rock this at PTA meetings. Lol.

And the DS charger pack arrived in the same drop.
Woot!

Pretty sure the seller was finishing with a prostitute when I picked it up. Neon is all good, needs some kind of replacement in the power unit (flickers when turned on but shuts off immediately).
