You're not really the kind of Ebay flipper I'm talking about, I don't think!

Awesome wallet!

I remembered seeing your post of these in this thread and spotted a pair on the shelf at the local GW. Did you find out which model these were?

Some lady picked them up before I could grab them but she quickly sat them back down so I grabbed them. Not sure what size they are but they fit my size 11 feet great and they look brand new. What should I wear these with? Here is the Charvet tie I found earlier

I know there's a separate thread for that but just wanted to throw that out there.



Thanks! I used to be a burnout ;-)

Found some cool ties today. Can anyone tell me about this Isaia? Any idea how old it is? Is it Isaia's mainline or a sub (I don't know anything about the brand)? The GW had a ton of NWT ties from Nordstroms, this was one of them. My green tie line up is pretty thin, I'm thinking of keeping it. Brown Brooks Bros. linen tie I'm digging: Funny Robert Talbott cigar tie I'm probably going to cigar to a cigar buddy.

Though it doesn't say, that looks like the old Enrico Isaia tag. It was Isaia's top line. I think they stopped the line in the early 2000s (2001-2002), but don't quote me on that. That tie looks to be from the late 90's.

the leather has no micro creases and is a little bit lumpy. Plus the color is a little different from calf. When you learn what shell looks like it becomes easy to tell.
