You've got an iron on your bucket list?!?
I'm kidding!

I just saw them being promoted at Costco - with a steamer attachment/apparatus. It was very nice but very expensive!

Good job!

I have a thrift store bucket list

Recently I found a Marinella tie. Others were a Charvet shirt, etc. I would like to find a really nice attache, that eludes me. A Rowenta was definitely on that, just tested it thoroughly and ran a bit of white vinegar thru it. Works great.

Black brown is worth a pickup? Is cause it's cashmere?

I find cashmere for under 5 bucks 99.9% of the time. I rarely pass a 100% cashmere anything for less than a Big Mac.

I have two of a similar/identical vintage. One brown and black herringbone and the other a gorgeous houndstooth. Undarted, partially lined, 2 button cuff, natural shoulder, 3/2 roll. Solid gold.

Spoo, what size?

This is the quintessential fall jacket. About a 42.

Spoo thrifts and flips where no mere man dares tread.

LOL Im not afraid to try new things, thats for sure.

Norsk Husflid, nothing too wonderful...$20-$30 sweater for us mere mortals, probably $100 for you

Great news, thank you!

What's the verdict on Caporicci shoes? Mostly what I see on Ebay are exotics, these are just plain leather but seem to be well made



Sideways reversible Orvis vest



I thought this was probably a good pickup for Halloween time, I had no clue that Coogi sweaters were hundred dollar bills all day

 

[FaceOfBoh]

I think I see Cthulhu in the design of that sweater. Maybe it would be good to wear to meetings, to drive the other attendees mad.

 

[calcoast]

Great finds these last few pages. Gonna check out some new places this week hopefully I'll find something good.

My wife gave me the stink eye when I brought a hideous cardigan home, she was OK with it when it sold for 20x what I paid.
Edited to add: put Biggie and Cosby in your ebay subject line (though the Cos actually never wore Coogi on the Cosby Show; if you ever want to read too much about Cosby Sweaters, this link can help you with that).

What were you planning to go for Halloween as? Biggie?
