Quick question - the discoloration around a collar, is there a way to fix that? I assume they're from sweat/long use.

Big shoutout to tben for a killer Holland & Holland s/c that I thought needed a little shortening in the arms but it doesn't and LeSacre for an awesome Baldwin chambray that will be in my regular rotation once the cooler weather finds it's way back here.

Thanks again, guys!

After finding the JS homestead I got the itch to look around town and see if anymore cult japanese repro/workwear brands wound up in the thrifts. I'd love to save it was raining anachronorm and john lofgren, but it was a pretty run of the mill day.

I generally don't pick up barney's brand shirts, but this tiny calico ish print reminds me a lot of post o'alls, and it wasn't $250

Uggo Etro

I finally bought a YSL. I know rive gauche is what we're looking for, but something tells me that this isn't the rive gauche I'm looking for

Why don't you think this is the Rive Gauche you are looking for? ^^

John Richmond (32 x 30)

Those John Richmond trousers are effing fantastic.

I got this Martin Dingman belt a couple months ago but I've had a hard time finding out if it's real ostrich skin or not. If anyone can authenticate it or tell me if it's grain that'd be fantastico. There's nothing indicating either way that it's ostrich or just leather. I've included all the details I can on the belt. Also, apologies in advance for not spoilering photos, I still haven't gotten past that noob level.

I semi remember people talking in the thread about how older rive gauche either wasn't desirable / collectible or the quality dipped for awhile.

Couple ties on top of a pair of silvery/light gray Canali trousers, pleated but they were $3 and are MINT, but you ask, why would I buy an outdated Burberry's


Clue is the "MD"

no idea! but want to know!

Clue is the "MD"

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say it's Michael Drakes?

...Went to Marshalls and did pretty well.

Spoiler: Merino Pantherella 3-packs

(someone made an announcement about these that prompted my trip)

...

Indeed, I stopped by my usually unproductive Marshall's last week and found similar 3 packs of wool socks retailing at $17.99 in only one set of colors (Red/Gray/Navy) so I only bought one pack. How many pairs of bright red socks do I need? They also had 3 packs of cotton socks but they were too large for me. Everyone near a Marshall's who wants these socks should make a special trip! Another item checked off.
