If I was your boss's boss I'd be intimidated. This is a real power fit.

I've met him, he is very intimidating in real life. That watch is superb! A thrift find as well?

Vintage John Comfort, vintage H&B x2.



T&A x2, vintage Drake's blue paisley madder.



Close-up of the Drake's.

^ Nice finds, Thrifty. Love those BB jackets.

What the **** is wrong with people. I specifically state I ship only to the lower 48. I just had 2 international bidders win on auctions.

I feel you, and used to have the same policy, but if you order the little clear plastic sticky envelopes from USPS and print from Ebay, it's just as easy as mailing anything else.


Mini thrift fit for today:




Coat: Carroll & Co. w/ LP Fabric (bought from Xenos)
Shirt: Tom Ford (thrifted)
Tie: Talbott (thrifted)
Square: No-Name Hand Rolled in Italy (thrifted)
Pants: Howard Yount (sale)
Socks: Pantharella (STP)
Shoes: Church's (thrifted)

I know some of you are Nordies Rack fiends, so I'm crossposting here. Anyone seen pants to go with these Jack Spade suit separates? I started a new thread in classic menswear forum but have gotten no responses.:

I only pick up Hilfiger when it is made in Italy and only for myself.

I'm going today to see if that Thom Browne pea coat is still there, I'll keep my eyes posted.

Capnwes: Do you have your personal warehouse?

Yes, don't you? No seriously, yes, I do. I posted pics of my set-up about midyear last year, but I have definitely increased my inventory since then. I am barely keeping my head above tweed.
