ebay'd a brag
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MENS-Lucian...t-/170970892409?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123


I picked it up today, fits amazing, clearly no one looked at the tag. I thought it would be cotton, but no, its


100% CASHMERE!!! No padding, functional sleeves, and made by Partenopea. Super 900% pure sexual lava.

Nice, if it was listed around Christmas time it would have gone for 5x the current price. Sellers forget to do seasonal pricing this should have been a BIN /BO. Great deal.

I know this isn't really the right thread for this, but does anybody recognize this tag? I was going through a pile of stuff I forgot I had and pulled out a blazer with this tag on it.

Looks like Parteopenoa.

And to those that have bought stuff from me, I haven't been able to ship for three reasons.

Well deserved. Your fits in WAYWRN have been on FIRE lately.
Personally, I find it almost as exciting as finding the item itself. I get that same rush of aesthetic pleasure and whirl of possibilities thinking of pairings. Then I pay the bill, and I'm

On that note, thrift fit, same **** as before but with my new (to me) PRL by Corneliani hacking jacket.

I had it taken in a bit on the sides to give it a more fitted look. Zero padding in the shoulders, undarted with a ticket pocket, suede elbow patches, leather buttons and dual exhaust, herringbone tweed with a red windowpane.

I've been shuttling ceaselessly between home, work, and consulting gigs and haven't been able to thrift in a week and a half, so here's an out-of-focus thrift fit.


Tweed jacket is BB acquired from EazyE - thanks, man! Fits great after tailoring.
Shirt is thrifted Gant by MB, sweater is non-thrifted Uniqlo, jeans are thrifted Gap selvage.
Pocket square by Air Tie

* Edited to add spoiler.

Wow! That is a great fit! Just saying, if you get bored of it...

Pics of the Allen Edmonds belt I thrifted yesterday. I was lamenting just last week how I never find decent belts. This one was priced the same as a Dickies belt (which retails for 1/10th what the AE belt goes for) sitting next to it on the shelf at GW. Thank you thrift gods!

Also, does anyone know this Gant label?

I think most thrifter will only pick up Gant Ruggar but hey, if it fits you well...

Contrary to some on here the Gant above is a decent find depending on what you pay for it $4-7 is good. I think that model has shell buttons, likely 70's, USA made. Comfy too. Lots better than the new stuff with the exception of the Bastian & Gant Ruggers. I have the exact model on Ebay right now in fact.

Thanks, man. I thought it was on the older side (the collars are a bit big), but I really like it. I wore it to work yesterday for the second time (I actually found it in February last year). The only issue is that the sleeves are about 1/2" shorter than I'd like. Can't win 'em all, eh? IIRC, I paid $3. I don't think that store knew what they had.

On the subject of LBCS


Dual vented, 3/2 roll


I have honestly no clue how you guys ID by tags, so is this St Andrews or Attolini? I'm guessing the latter due to the styling?


tentatively NA - checking my dad's measurements

I own this exact jacket... My favorite in my closet. Why couldn't it be a 54!!!

Among today's finds at half-price SA day ($2.50 a pop), Italian pants. They fit. Unfamiliar brands. Where do they fit on the food chain? "Generic Uomo?"

the middle one is 140s + cashmere, discovered with "feel test"
