I've had a few good finds over the years and I find it hard to pick a favourite. The one that gets used the most is a solid grey Brioni suit that I wear pretty much every week. Bragworthiness here would probably be the pure cashmere Hermes sports coat I found, but that's a bit full-on and only gets worn occasionally

By far the best value for bragging has been the full bottle of Jules cologne I found for $5. It"s a discontinued classic, and impossible to find. Whenever I mention it to the local perfumistas, they are enraged with jealousy. I've kept the price sticker on it, just to rub it in :)

Sounds awesome! I had three fly fishing stores by me, orvis, and two independents and now they are all closed :(

Thrift fit



LBCS (trade)
Loro Piana
Borrelli
Trafalgar
Michael Bastian
Someone was excited about this jacket, I ran across a very similar one that is too small for me, Loro Piana fabric, super nice, one small ding in the back, not exactly a hole, but it's there. Available to anyone that is interested.


36R 18.5 shoulders 24.5 sleeeve 20 chest








...and my fave thrift, that is also the one that I wear the most


I have since bought the lapel pin that cost me 2x what the coat cost, and a hanger that cost me 3x what the coat cost. I think that brings the total to $64 still a savings of... 96% over retail?
