Expectations have reached an all time high....

Just realized I threw away one of those made in Scotland sweaters (Balantyne?) you had listed as $1400.

It was a small lady-ish sweater, though. None of the ladies wanted it.

It was definitely a good find! What astounds me is how recent these seem, and their perfect condition.

They really have... I've got some other stuff too but those gucci/brioni were the cream of the crop. I guess I need at least 20 Kiton to merit a post

Yeah, the Balantynes have INSANE retails. I think some of them are made by Cucinelli, but either way, they're up there.

Crazy nice finds as usual! If those Brionis were 42-44 I'd be all over them!

Toronto PSA: The SA told me a bunch more of these are going to be going on sale pretty soon, so you might want to check the store in the next couple of weeks.

Where? The Holts outlet?

Flip pick-up...how could I not?

One of the Marshalls here had at least 5 Braves ones in various sizes a while back. I didn't pick them up because the lowest they went, I think, was $30.

Items I passed on this weekend:

- 8 pairs of Allen Edmonds in large sizes (12-15), all from the same store. For most of them the store wanted $30, and I wasn't willing to spend that much. There were 4 or 5 pairs that were in very good shape, including a pair of Weybridges that looked like it had been worn twice at most (virtually no wear on the leather outsoles, and very little creasing to the uppers). I was going to pick that up, but I couldn't make out the size--the writing on the side had completely worn off. No idea how that happened because the shoes were almost new.

- Gianni Versace sportcoat: looked like a sportcoat, unvented, not particularly appealing, but real. Would have picked it up if not for the small hole in the left shoulder

- Paul & Shark sweater: couldn't be sure of authenticity. It seemed nice enough, and based on the quality and feel I was leaning towards authentic. If it had been my size, I would have picked it up, but for trade I'd need to be sure it's real.

- many fake ties--not sure where they were all coming from, but I came across a couple of fake Canalis, fake Dunhill, fake Zegna, etc.

I did pick up some nice items, will post pictures later.

Whats pretty funny is how you speak of this epic fail, yet call a Do Not Enter sign a stop sign.

Actually....if you look more closely...he does hit a stop sign...which is on the back side of the do not enter sign.
