2 pairs of RRL. One selvedge, one not selvedge. I'm going to hold onto them for now until I figure out what to do with them. Both are about 26. Super small with 34 inseam...

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.

You can block international bidders. Its a PIA, you need look under: Exclude shipping locations and click each that you want to exclude, including Hawaii/Alaska/APO.

Studio D'Artisan Japanese Selvedge! I literally exclaimed, "WHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTT!" The gentleman who put down the RRL looked at my and smirked. I was like, "Damn right!"

Wow, crazy find for a thrift - congrats, man! Maybe you can take the other jeans that are too small and construct a 40s jacket that actually fits you.

I just might! Actually just got a PM from a member wanting a pair for his girl. Awww, that's so sweet. These are small enough to fit a thin woman.

The last time I was at my very local thrift shop I took photos of a few of the labels I was passing on. I am sharing them here in case anyone wants to comment or sees something I might have missed. Going primarily on eBay prices for the same labels. I am not a tie guy and did not see any big brands so passed on all of those. The one I was close on was the Mani, but trying to be choosy.

I can pretty much get any of the suits for $20.00, the ties would be maybe a buck.

























Requoted for awesomeness. Please buy all of this.

I know a similar saying:
Punctuation: It's the difference between the time you helped your Uncle, Jack, off a horse and the time you helped your Uncle jack off a horse.
I know a similar saying, too.
Come eat, Dick as in come and eat something, Dick, which is short for Richard.
vs.
Come eat dick as in come and eat a penis. Dick is a slang for penis. Yikes! Don't ever make that mistake!

Just one find last week, definitely more than Thrift prices should be but what the hell. Silk/wool blend Corneliani in my size. Just needs a few basic alts (slim down body, mess with arms etc) and I'm good to go. Could maybe shorten the body by an inch or so, it's a tad longer than my usual but not crazy long.




I think besides the jacket could use a slimming, the length is right on. I prefer my jacket's hemline to end around my hallucis longus of my thumb when in robot stance.

It's tagged 26. I'll hit you up with the deets.

I can fit a 27 in apc with a 34 inseam so maybe these might work for me as well depending on stretch...

Just thrifted the nicest suit i have yet to come across. Mabro handmade Italy for Lee Newman with Surgeon Cuffs. Don't think it has ever been worn, just a bit too small for me sadly, its a 50R Euro.

And a Vintage really heavy Woolrich Hunting Jacket with game pocket in back, my research seems to put this in the 1940-50's??? It is in really nice condition.

Bro, I can hit you up with the deets but I don't think these will fit you because when I tried them on, I couldn't even get my thigh in. If you think the Levi's selvedge I was telling you about are too skinny on you, these are way skinnier.

Shoot, Mabro is good? There was one at a consignment nearby for a while, but I didn't recognize it so I left it.
