Worth flipping without doing so? I don't want to invest a lot into them... Although the fabric on the pinstripe is amazing.

...you could also just cut the lining out; unlined pants are superior to ones with stained lining

One of my local shops must've gotten a huge donation of either radio station or DJ vinyl. 2 shelves of nothing but techno/dance/whatever single LPs, club remixes, and promos. I really don't have much knowledge about vinyl from that specific genre so aside from a couple things from Wu-Tang, Fatboy Slim, and Destiny's Child there was nothing I'd ever heard of. All of them were in perfect like new shape (mostly because the oldest were from the mid 90's) and I really have no idea if there was a goldmine there or not but there sure was a **** ton of them.

They also got in a nice sized donation suits all from the same guy, purchased from the same shop, and every single one of them had some kind of funky crap on the pants whether its food stains, bleach, and what I'm really choosing to hope is some sort of sticky white condiment. Samuelsohn, Boss, and Brooks all wrecked.

Sigh.

...a bit of knowledge in vinyl can return you huge amounts. Is it techno as in the genre, or a generic term used to describe electronic music? Old Detroit techno goes for large prices; some Drum and Bass goes for quite a bit as well.

BTW the Borrelli shirts I ordered arrived, I'll try them on and then get back to you. Also, that seller listed more shirts in 16.5.

Sweet! If you do keep them, could you get measurements so I can decide between the 16.5 and the 17?

I will definitely let you know. I need to keep you in mind when something doesnt work for me!

Sometimes it good finding someone the same size, sometimes it sucks...

Well, if there's stuff a size or two too small for y'all I'll take the scraps...

Rag and bone cardigan, sz M, deep wine color, picked it up at marshalls. Drop me a pm if your interested, might price it a bit high cause I really want to keep it.
Some other nice knits tagged vince, they seem very cozy. Also saw some by jack spade, quality?

A couple of people were curious to see pictures of the Brooks Brothers casual jacket I mentioned last week. I went back and decided to buy it, so here it is. Looking over it, I think it must be NWOT. Being the end/beginning of the year, I've seen quite a few things that were obviously donated by retailers for a tax break. This was one of those, I think. Planning to keep.

Of course, you have first dibs on everything too short/tight for me.
