I'm still here! But not thrifting or posting much.

Will probably have some stuff available for trade near the start of August. (I'm out of town until then.)

I was hesitant to do this, because I have had a transaction go well with this user previously. I think 2 months with no communication or the traded item would grant the approval of this.

I traded an MMM sportcoat to Vexco for a suit and shirt on 5/5. I sent the garment on 5/5 and it was received on 5/8 (stated in PM's by Vexco)

I sent a PM in late May and early June and he has yet to respond. He has been online since those messages have been sent, and previous communication was immediate up to this point.

Please advise, be very careful with trades with Vexco (If he shows up again)

I know I have few posts, but I have been here since 2/13.

Shout-out to user @Takai for not only proxying an item for me, but also throwing some shirts in gratis. Totally unnecessary and extremely kind/thoughtful. Stand-up guy.

Amen to that, great guy indeed. Loving the Paul Stuarts, @Takai . Thanks again!

Does anyone have good tips for thrifting in the Miami area? I will travel north or south of Miami as well

Well that is what I figured but just wanted to make sure!

I have been in the middle of a trade with Vexco since December as well. He's got a new job that's taking up all of his time. Have yet to hear from him lately as well.

Travel in a car with comfortable seats and bring something to listen to, because traffic in Miami sucks and the stores aren't all too close together. Also, be ready to pay for parking in several areas.

With all the CDG items I've come across (including the Levi's Junya MAN collabs), they have the date on the manufacturers tag. It will say "AD 2012" or something. Doesn't help much figuring out the exact item in the collection, but gives you a time frame.

Could any denim heads tell me if;
1. These are both real, &
2. If the rips, patches etc. are part of the design, and not added post purchase?


Undercoverism denim

But def real, and intentional, and they actually look to be in great condition. There's no waist area stretching or knee sagging or anything. These def look like they're from older seasons though, back from when UC was experimenting a lot.

UC has had plenty of hits over the years, but def some deep misses. Some stuff you look back on and it just looks so weak

Just a friendly reminder to check the sweater section, even when its supposed to be ~90 degrees in Seattle.

Battistoni Cashmere Sweater (Back Left), Peter Millar Cashmere Sweater (Back Right), Filson Mac Vest in the center.
