Barrel? MZHammer? DeadBoy? You guys in? It's a lot of fun!
What's the prize for this round? Might help motivate a few that are on the fence.

Edited to add this horror story:
I'm flipping through the SCs in the GW where I found the Zegna and Canali jackets. I pass a ******, outdated BB jacket and notice something stiff, like a brochure, in the inner jacket pocket. Turns out it's not a brochure. I pull out a Polaroid of one of the most disturbing images I've ever seen: an old, wrinkly, obese grandmother completely naked after what appears to be open heart surgery...


Maybe this was missed because it was edited after being paged, but just wanted to say it made for a good laugh over here. Yikes...

On baby duty while the wife and kids go to a baptism. Hopefully I will get a chance to start the trouser experiment.

Heh, you married guys must just have to go for it whenever you can, hey.


thrift fit from church today: andover shop, brooks brothers, henry rosen, j crew
also who the hell makes these henry rosen made in Italy pants, I love them, they are washed cotton like a lbm 1911 or bolgioli jacket and the label looks familiar I just can't place it

Do you mean Harry Rosen? If so, no idea, but I have a pair too and they're awesome.

Nice looking fit. However... I'm no church-going man, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be buttoned one higher in a house of the Lord.

Sorry dude, my car dying has pretty much sunk my thrifting down to nothing. Still trying to figure out an alternative.

Wanted to start contributing a little more in here. And Ian asked if I'd post up some pics of a popover I picked up.

Don't find tailored clothing very often (I mostly buy for myself, 36R/S is a hard size to come by), so it's typically more SW&D stuff.

Recent pickups:


Gilded Age Popover - Made in Japan




RRL Henley






LVC 1947 501XX





Ahh ****! Been looking for some pre 1950's...Good stuff!
They would go for far more than I paid, but I collect LVC/Levi's stuff to an extent.

I didn't photograph, but also picked up a pair of early 70's selvedge little 'e' 501s and a RRL pocket tee.
Pics or it didn't happen!

For my dad, found on his birthday


Also for him and found on his bday




A Hickey BD that caught my eye. Interest fabric right?


Just one stop today. Did pick up my 3rd BoO shirt in a week, along with a couple of Billy Reid shirts. (N/A)

Bro! Bad ass fit! But still ain't feel'n those chicken legs...
I only found a few things over the past week but we did manage to get a away for a day or so for the long weekend to the ole homestead. It's been in the family for almost 100 years. These are three of my kids walking through a field of barley.




On to the finds. An aztec/navajo pattern United Colors of Benetton. Made in Italy. It's so busy I missed the hole near the cuff.

Mint late '50s to early-'60s varsity collared cardigan.

That phrase will always be funny.

Levi's Little "e" 501. After some further digging, they're actually late 70's or early 80's. I love the history of Levi's because of all the little nuances that exist. It's fun trying to date the product.

Anyway, here you go.

ok. Posting 2 things.

Burberry Women's Hooded Jacket, Size XS, $4.80



2nd is a Canali leather coat, size large. I'll probably keep this one for myself, and as such, paid $90, but it is in extremely good condition. sleeves are about an inch too long.



BTW, Photo's are taken with an overhead light I build to mimic Wes's set up.

one 4 lamp and one 2 lamp fixture for a total of 6 lamps. all bulbs are 6500K daylight.

I tried both a white background (these) and a neutral gray #8 background (Wes's system).

These are straight out of the camera, cropped and resized for posting.

will dink with white balance and aperture later tonight.
