Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

sthenosal, no need to spoil any of your post, 10000000000% goodness right there. So much ******* win on the last few pages, I'm not even going to comment, good job fellas!!! So my search for the trousers to that Zenga jacket I posted awhile ago seems to be hopeless, I did find a couple other things whilst stalking that store however...... Vintage doctor's bag for my wife.

Of course now that summers over I find the perfect woven straw Panama hat in my size.

Cashmere shawl, also for my wife

Cashmere and wool reversible Sulka car coat.

And I need help with this one guys. This was found right next to the Sulka, also a reversible car coat, also made in Italy and in the same size. Most likely form the same person and I didn't want to leave it there because the quality is up to par. There are no other tags other than the one shown. Any Ideas?

Also e thrifted these monk strap johdpur Lobbs. My first pair. Of course paid for with thrift bux, minus the legwork, came out to around $9

Lobbs and Greens in one day. WTF is going on? Someone go find some G&Gs.

Don't forget the Leica AND Vicuna. What a helluva week! Also, Just a friendly reminder to use spoilers, please, esp when quoting. Edit: A few recent finds: I don't always pick up Bert Pulitzer, but when I do it's true Madras in awesome colors.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

New & Lingwood

Found these

Inside of these (Bally; my size and keeping)

Church's CG. Trees were extra, but not much

Also found a pair of blackwatch flat front vintage trou. Havent measured, but they will be available.

Thanks Wes for the awesome Dale Of Norway sweater! Thrift fit will come once the weather cools down enough!

^ That just made me want to go to the toy aisle.

What a page of posts. Can't decide if I should go out expecting thrift synergy or just screw it knowing that I'd be disappointed in whatever made in Indonesia PRL crap I found!

Awesome finds guys, just awesome!

I will be adding Mantique as a category in my ebay store. Also, awesome find. I had an Ultramagnus from a later series, not nearly as cool your find.

Mantique! Love it...

The roots of my thrifting obsession can be traced back about 25 years to when my mom donated my collection of ESB and ROTJ figures and vehicles.

Someone scored big off that.

I've got a question for you guys. I picked up 5 suits today. 3 burberry, 1 HF, recent, perfect, size 42 xl (I didn't know there was such a thing as xl). The one I have a question about is this M2M HSM that I decided to pick up. its label says gold, not gold trumpeter or anything like that. The Pocket tag for the client is dated 10-12-2006. Is this just a level they assign to their M2M lines?

If only those were 44 or 46 XL! XL does exist and is very needed. Any chance those 42's are cut verrrry full?

 

[quotientspace]

Holy **** things blew up over the weekend. Saw Vicuna and then Leica...


I did find some suits, but with later realized the jackets are unvented, almost a bit silly looking, and the grey has two small holes on the inside. I'll probably post some stuff to the trade thread later.

PRL 39R vintage

J Press sack jacket, about a 46R

Big guy alert: Hickey Freeman blazer in 52L

All heading to the 'bay
