left it behind, had some condition issues and found a woolmark tag hidden behind a seam, so wasn't as old as I thought.

TWHS?

I am like 1 for 4 on real monclers but these were cheap enough to take another risk. Store was closing so I didnt have time to do more research.

Next is Zegna Micronsphere suit, a pop on that. It is a brighter blue than the pics show. Not pictured is a NWT Tyrwhitt cotton & linen blazer which is going to my nephew.

Shoe section gave up the goods with these Alden shell Monkstraps. Soles have been repaired, not sure if this is a quality job or not, going to let the vintage shoe thread chime in on this.

I use Oxi Clean and soak it overnight

I've switched to just using the oxy spray and letting it sit overnight. No need to soak. Works every time.

Yep the OxyClean liquid spray is the best. My method is pre-spraying, let soak in for 20-40 mins and then wash normally. For deeper stains sometimes it has to sit for hours or overnight.

Cheap resole, but it is what it is.

I was hoping some of you experts could help me figure out what I have here. I bought this for personal use, but the torso is too wide and the sleeves are a bit too short. The only comp i can find is vintage from the 50's but made in Taiwan versus this one which is made in Singapore. Thank you in advance for any insight. sdf I

That would be early to mid 60s. These old cotton flannels are pretty popular with buyers in Japan.

Few items from one stop.

100% Cashmere, not sure on brand / size, and I believe women. Small tear in lining (or seperation?) Still super cool and in pretty good condition!

Zegna / Made in Switzerland / Rayon:

Zegna High Performance made in Italy... no material tag anywhere (cut off, it looks like)

Women's LRL Reversable Puffer Vest

Goodlife Long Sleeve Shirt, Made in USA

I have a lot more coming I will post in the coming days... including one of the coolest clothing finds I have ever found...

Question for you all. And maybe this is stupid. On the Cashmere above, the 2 Zegnas and on several other blazers I have grabbed over time - there is no size I can find. What do you guys do in that event? When listing I get a bit confused on what to put for the size. I do measurements and all, but is there a better way? Speaking of the cashmere coat, if anybody knows any info on it - let me know!

Uh oh, what did I do wrong? Haha.

It's your money but you are making the mistake that we all made in the beginning including me.
You gotta be more selective or else you will end up with a huge backlog of very dated undesirable stuff.
Im not trying to discourage you just trying to save you money and more importantly time,you can always make more money.

I would. But, I am busy trying to get rid of all my Russian vodka... one glass at a time.
