Longtime lurker, first-time poster. Picked this up today for free. The armhole lining is coming apart a tiny bit, but wouldn't be a difficult fix. Anyone that wants it, let me know. It is around a 42R (maybe L), unvented. If you cover shipping and box costs, it is free.

No pants on that? Anyway, welcome to forum. Awesome to see a first post here being an offer to proxy something. I hope to see you stick around.

No, no pants; likely an orphan. Hope it can find a good home! Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here!

thrifted myself a hot pair of hot speakers @ 30% off at my local value village:

I got two pairs of suede strands during the AE 2 for 250 sale. I think neither is going to work for me and I was pretty bummed thinking that I was out 22 bucks for the return and would get nothing else out of it since their stock is probably shot after that sale.

Just found and grabbed these PRL's for 45 bucks on fleabay. Benchmade in Italy. No idea who makes them, but they look like they're in decent condition and they've got commando soles. Any idea on a maker?

How'd I do?

I found a pair of suede PRL benchmade in Italy loafers a while back and held onto them for a bit.. Really really wish they had been my size. Once you swap the laces out on your eBay win, I'd say you did fantastic. Those shoes look great.

A question for the veteran posters.


Are their other ways other than Ebay where someone could go to try and determine the value of something? I'm not looking for someone to give me a value (I read a few posts back that that's a no no) but just some guidance on where I could find some info.


I found a new with tags worsted wool Givenchy DB suit which looks like it could be from the 80's.


Thanks for any help!

Trust someone who's been trying to get rid of one for a few months now. It's isn't worth dick.

Thanks for the input. I was hoping that it was worth something! Did you try and sell on Ebay?

Thrift find for @Ian Erickson , might be too short in the sleeves though. I'd message the seller for better measurements.

Score! I found a Bang and Olufsen turntable a couple years back but unfortunately it needed a $400 replacement stylus so I gave it away

Love their designs.

How does one go about getting this kind of wear on a tie?

Ouch. Might be a good candidate for this:

Hmm, that's a cool concept (the business of converting ties to bow ties).

Noticed these on the end of the belt tip just now. Is the 92 the year it was made?
