Are NWOB Allen Edmonds worth kopping for 50bucks a pop? They are rare sizes like 14B and such...

Shoe related, how well regarded are Silvano Lattanzi?

Wife went out thrifting for my personal use and her store. Aside from the Pendleton is there anything potentially OK for Ebay?

Nothing spectacular this weekend. Found a nice Pendleton button-down for ME!





Zegna Tie,got it because of the name to flip on the bay






Also got, because of the name an Armani .......is there a market for something like this? This is pre 1990.





Got some AE Sanford Shoes. Appear to be in great shape. The white dots are from I guess a disinfectant or something this thrift store uses. Soles good too!









She also found 3 pairs of 80's Levis, Pendleton Driving Cap and a super vintage Versace tie.

Pass on the AEs. In a decent color, style and size that would be a good price. In those sizes at that price, no way.

Silvano Lattanzi is a grail maker, IMO. Super expensive at retail and very well made. They make Lobbs at retail look like a bargain.

Would any of you have taken a chance on a pair of Loro Piana cotton trousers in dark brown...with piss/sweat stains on the lining?
Theyre machine washable and I thought about for a split second but I havent had much luck with getting rid of stains lately and $8 seemed a little steep to take a chance.

What do you guys think?

Oh, and these were actually straight from Loro Piana, not Zanellas or anything like that.

Asking because I got a message from a friend over in the East coast who found quite a few of them and is offering a proxy. He usually sells on eBay but he is willing to cut me a proxy for one pair at $300. They are 2nd hand lightly worn shoes. I feel somewhat hesitant at spending that kind of dime on second hand shoes but if they are that good (Lobbs level or above) it may be worth a risk. Trouble is none of the shoes have sizes and my friend thinks they are in a 11 - 12 ballpark which is a pretty big dynamic range. Big risk of not fitting but if I have resale potential at least getting my money back, I may just pop at them.

Paid more than usual, but I'm pretty sure this is legit. Looks right, feels right. Plus, who is going to fake a Franco's (Richmond, VA men's store) label?
