I gotta, stop buying fancy luggage every time I see one at a thrift.

I mean, I skip the trashed ones, but I couldn't turn down this USA made Tumi for $9. Even though, I doubt it's carry on regulation any more being the telescoping handle sticks up 3 inches even when retracted.

polo started out with a remake of the ww2 air force vest, they did a cheaper version of the vest watered down for some coastal defender line, then they put sleeves on it in another smaller coast guard inspired line similar to the last. when Ralph does something, you can be sure he does every variation of it plausible. Its the 90's concept of, if something sells make it in every bright color, but logically extended. on my tumblr igotpolo.tumblr.com i documented the original vest when it dropped for 350$ in bloomingdales. was rare and had a booklet included explaining the piece. it was polo doing "RRL" basically.

Thanks!

Not a sneaker expert but pretty sure those are from the bringback made in USA collection (they aren’t vintage). I have a pair and the Vibram soles are original to the shoes. If you look further under the tongue I think there would be a more modern size tag.

If I’m right they’re nicely made shoes but probably not worth much in that condition.
