[330CK]

@330CK Is this your first Rimowa find? I think there's been a few members who have found it more than once which has deluded me into thinking I'll find that carry-on aaaannnyyyy day now.

nah I’ve found it a few times before. had one that was the size of danny devito for awhile, and found a set of like 5-6 in various sizes once.

Holla at your boy if you find one or have a spare one.

First vintage florsheim for personal use can never seem to find them in 13!

This anything more than decorative pier one type stuff? Seemed pretty old, unlike a lot of stuff made to look it

Recent Zegna Couture(42L but looks to be altered to 42R)

All the Zegna Couture suits I've seen, not that I've seen that many, have all ben dated fabrics and 3-button. The quality is great but not great designs.

Quick e-thrift check... Even at $200, leaving this would've been shitballs insane, right?









(Don't worry, I bought it)

Pull my hair and call me “daddy” cuz I’m back, babay

Anyone recognize if it’s gren and who made it?

 

[Sartoriamo]

Quick assist from the furniture guys, please. Anyone recognize this chair? Bonkers heavy. No markings on it whatsoever (that I could see). Can't decide whether it's a piece of MCM or some kind of vintage medical furniture. Seriously industrial.

You guys are AMAZING. Thank you so much. Definitely in a little (lot) of pain today, but with the almost $7000 raised that will feed our children here in MPLS, worth every step. Can't thank you all enough, seriously. Words can't do my gratitude justice.

Your donations went even farther than I could've ever imagined. We had some donors from out of state donate directly to The Sheridan Story, but with all of the money we personally collected, our donation was a little over $7,200. Today, I got word that our donation was matched fully by a tech guy based out of SF, meaning the total the organization received was over $14,000. So thank you guys. You really have changed lives.

Had a pretty good day today.

Killer 50's Penney's crewneck with some custom artwork.







Couldn't believe this thing didn't have a single moth hole.



Handful of vintage women's side-zip denim jeans. One deadstock, the others with some great patina.








40's-50's work shirt



Absolutely thrashed 50's work shirt




40's? Back when Van Heusen was the good stuff. Side gussets and mother of pearl buttons. Really nice shirt.








Wish I could make out the label on this one.




Second pair I've found this year.





Old Lee denim overall straps. Sadly no sign of the overalls.





Some vintage women's boots. Wish they had some sort of maker's mark.

 

[Nataku]

Somehow forgot this guy. 40's Allied chambray. Killer fades.

@Thrift Vader any thoughts on the byobu panel art I posted earlier?

Berluti moccasins. Not $6.99 thrift, but sub-4% rule, so gobs of meat in the package (TWSS). The quality of these is absolutely outstanding for a casual loafer. Love that patinated suede, and the stitching details are off the charts. Sole has some scritto reading as follows: "Le Loup de Berluti", aka The Wolf of Berluti. I'll tell ya what: these folks live in a different world from the rest of us. They probably drive Bugatti Chirons. From Berluti:

Empreinte du Loup

Trace your path,
leave your tracks,
dance with the wolves.​

Like wolves, Berluti clients love freedom and wide open spaces. They travel through cities trusting their instinct. Olga Berluti has created wild, sensual moccasins for these untameable men who travel alone or in nomadic packs.

Well, OK. Whatever you say. What a pile of crap. But somebody's buying it! I guess if you can get a handful of people to drop a couple grand on these, well, good for you.

Seriously, the shoes are ridiculously spectacular, but all that effort for a moccasin? Boggles the mind. I'll get better pix up when I photograph them for the 'Bay. Big problem, though: they're my size. What to do . . .

First time every seeing Escorial Wool for Paul Stuart and this rare size tag RLPL 36S (not consignments, picked from large bins)

It's a house warming gift.
"congratulations, house, fun.."
I'm going to get Mrs Vader to look at it when she gets home.
