DM7....clearly breaking into celebrity homes to get clothes at this point. Out of morbid curiousity....what size is Cedric?

Ahhh! I was going to ask what was with all the 4-button stuff. It is all clear now.

Thanks Dustin... you have actually been inside, and still say that....regardless of my piles of suits.


Since you have seen both the inside and the outside. This is for you and the appreciation of the group...


This is the house the very first time we went to see it....7 years ago


This is after some minor improvements...

MINOR ???? Amazing I want to be just like you when I grow up

!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure that's Martin Greenfield? I was under the impression that MG didn't do all BBGF...only the ones where there's a small "MG" present on the label, as below:

Martin Greenfield suit....very nice. I really love that stuff.
Deets on the Samurai Jeans - 36/31.5 S5000 Black....these might be the nicest jeans I've handled. If anyone is interested they are available.

THRIFT FIRST: Gant 'The Rugger' pop-over green-ish-brown-ish-white-ish plaid thingie. XL but may fit slim, who knows. Pretty sweet.
I can't believe BoO, Unis, Naked and Famous, etc continues to surface.

What color is label on the gant? Even some of the not so great used "The Rugger" moniker I do believe.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about Gant in this thread, I figured I'd share what I know, to enlighten my fellow thrifters:
Gant by Michael Bastian- Most expensive line, current, also only started F/W 2009 (10 maybe) so very recent
Gant Rugger- Also recent, step bellow bastian but same idea, remakes of archival gant clothes, think this line only started 6 or so years ago so also quite recent
Gant- Shield logo, recent but not worth picking up, along the same idea as penguin or ben sherman
Gant Blue Label- Crap, 90's, 80's, 70's cheap remakes of trad, lots of polyester, If you can find shirts that are all cotton they can be good for you but not flipping
Gant The Rugger, Gant Shirt Makers, Or Gant Made for X Men's Shop- Vintage tradly goodness, not sure about the flipabbility but definitely nice stuff. The Rugger often refers to the fit (tapered body) however I have seen Gant The Rugger Blue Labels which I think lean towards later 60s Early 70's and can be pretty nice.

Weeeellllp

I did exactly what I said I wouldn't and bought something not my size.... on the first time out, and probably made a mistake, because it was literally just a whim. But that doesn't mean I won't post them and make an ass of myself.




Barker Brown Leather Brogues 8.5:







So, how bad did I do? Also they will most likely be available pending one friends thoughts on them.

 

[SpooPoker]



is yours 38r too? that would be random. really nice fabric, usually canali fabrics don't do much for me.

You could have done far worse. They won't flip for much, but the quality is okay--better than any mall brand.

Bluebook would need more.
See, e.g., Mexicutioner v. Good Taste, et al., 542 S.F.2d 1137 (2012)
Assuming the SF reporter only covers the Thrifting court, of course. Otherwise you'd need
See, e.g., Mexicutioner v. Good Taste, et al., 542 S.F.2d 1137 (D. Thrifting. 2012)
Actually, it's online, not a published reporter, so the full date makes sense

I suppose this is worth figuring out. Given the size of and stitching around the label, wouldn't they both be from the same manufacturer regardless of the MG monogram?

Edit: Thanks master Spoo. Is that Ver Say See tie I posted above worth a damn?

 

[AndroFan]

Any info why some show an "MG" and others do not? I've encountered both (fewer with the "MG"), often from the same year.

VAILABLE XL Patagonia Synchilla fleece pullover.

Chest = 26"






I usually don't find stuff that fits for me, but I had a good week:

Winter sweater


Somehow I managed to find a new Patagonia jacket amongst the crowds on monday. It's a relief because my wife was starting to catch up in the gore-tex products count.



Ties


PS and "Ugly Sweater" for our Boston Terrier pup that we're picking up on Saturday!

[AndroFan]

Yeah, I guess that would make sense. I just could never discern why some labels - that were otherwise identical - had the tiny MG and others did not, so I went with what seemed to be the most obvious, but apparently incorrect answer.
