Man, the last few pages are arguably the best since this thread started. Unreal finds guys.

PRL shirts come in varying levels of quality.  The nicest PRL shirts have the cursive label underneath the Polo Ralph Lauren label, like yours ("Custom Fit" is in cursive font).  All the cursive label shirts that I have seen do not have the polo on the front (some of them have them on one of the side gussets) and have decent-sized MoP buttons.

I picked up a PRL a couple hundred pages back that turned out to be made by Lorenzini, easily on par with any other high end shirt I've come across.

Tell me gents, is this the Lanvin I'm looking for?

I swear I remember someone saying that if it has "paris" on the tag it's worth picking up. It was made in the usa and details seem to suggest it's high end. Did I do a good job?


Also picked up two pairs of these in 34. Details to follow, later...

Dammit, I thought that was the good label. Good thing goodwill takes returns

Finally ran into a number of good items at one store, it's been awhile:

Ballantyne Polo (XXL), Billy Reid Polo (NWT - M)


Barba Plaid (16.5, really wish this fit) CIfonelli Gingham (L)


2x Etro (Blue - 16.5, Yellow - 15)


2x Borrelli (Gray - 16.5, Black - 16, both super soft flannel)


2x Luciano Barbera Cable Knit Button Sweaters (No size, I would estimate 24 p2p or there abouts)


John Smedley Quarter Zip (Large-ish)


Older Cashmere Cucinelli (mock?) Turtleneck (No size, but big)




Navy Woolrich Working Jacket w/ Plaid Lining


Willis & Geiger Travel Jacket (M)









Simon Miler Jeans (Not Available)


Multi-fold Made in Italy Tie (any ideas on the maker? Didn't think "Milano" was it)







Oh, and I won these on Ebay. Been wanting a pair for awhile:



Everything other than the jeans, the shoes and the tie is available.

 

[Evil Abed]

Damn Cotton, loving those borrellis. Nicely done. Those shoes are

Kids, don't drink and post (re: my post last night). Also, when did the 99cent only store start carrying used ties?

The "good" ties I've found have said Paris. I think current good label may just say "Lanvin". Their newer logo is that lady or whatever. Pretty sure Made in US is a bad sign for Lanvin as well. Their good stuff should be more fashion forward, and unlikely to be like that herringbone jacket you found. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

Here's a few tips for Lanvin-seekers:

- Rather than examining the Lanvin tag, look at the maker tag. Newer good Lanvin is made by Caruso, older by Canali. Photos of both of those tags can be found in the Labels thread. If the tag matches, you've got a winner.
- Do the canvas pinch test like you would with any piece you're not familiar with. If it's fused, toss it back.
- If you're in a rush, just look at the country of origin. If it's the U.S., don't waste your time.

I am interested those pants though, if they have a 33 or 34 inseam.

Thanks for the advice. As I said I'll be returning it. As for the pants, I've yet to measure them. I'll let you know.

I want! But unfortunately they're too big for me. I've been lusting after LB lately.
