I shed a tear when this did not fit as it was oh so close BUT it should be good trade material or help pay for my (soon to be ordered if i cant find anything) tux. I dont use this often when thrifting, but from my experience it is NWOT. Shoulder basting is still intact.
Edit - Forgot to upload the last picture of size tag
That is AWESOME!

Looking through your ebay now. Not only do you get amazing makers but everything is a desirable piece in popular sizes. Can't wait to see your E. Tautz and Bastian pick ups. Someday I wish to have the buying power or a Eddievddr/Spoo/DM7.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think enough people have the buying power, its that they don't have the connections. I have someone who would go in on a haul like this with me (my HF consignor had 100K+ retail in his closet waiting to be sold), but all the avenues I have explored to find a haul like this did not pan out. Its more being able to FIND this stuff then being able to afford it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Ok, I can't find my old posts for my inclusion in the cheapies so I'm just going to re-post and quote from here. I hope that's cool.
Brioni cashmere and wool topcoat, price paid, $4

Etro cotton jacket with silk lining and lamb fur collar, more expensive. Mexi, I still haven't taken it to the tailors, but I'm hoping to soon.

Quick stop today produced a nice RLPL and an insect Ferragamo tie like someone posted a while back. Passed on a pair of crazy heavy wool Woolrich pants with the cuffed ankles. I was sweating just holding them.
