ROFL @ Sag Harbor...

Gets me every damn time...

I just wanted to know who thought that was a good name for clothes for frumpy women?

Fit pic.

Here it is. I took a picture was about to upload to site when I realized I wasnt wearing pants... haha

Color is off, it is a nice red, not orange.

Found an orphan with fish mouth lapels, but I couldn't leave it behind.




WHAMMY:



I'll be going back tomorrow morning to see about the pants.

@ATLjon or any other of you gentlemen, could you kick some knowledge on what makes this a standout find? Aside from, if it fits you, or fills a void, what makes Alan Flusser exceptional? I tend to see shirts/sweaters but generally pass. I looked up his site and it looks like he does a lot of custom work, but is his stuff considered highly desireable?

This is bespoke. Not the mall crap that he sold out with. Quality is up there with Savile Row ****.

Yeah, as Spoo said (i think) there was/is an Alan Flusser line that's great, and the there's the Made in China line which you'll often find in thrifts. I've seen plenty of that, but none of the good stuff.

My favorite find of the day isn't often a woman's piece, but today...

No pics yet but thrifted a trombone today...

Was it rusty?

My one find for the day. Size 38 Cooper Leather Bomber.

Not sure if I want to keep it yet.

I scored a Cooper A-2 goat skin leather flight coat a few weeks back, 44L and I'm a 44R. Tried in vain to grow an inch or two but could not manage it...it went to a good home and my ROI was nice. you can always wear it the remainder of the season and let it go next autumn.

Caruso sport coat. First actual Caruso label for me, and now that I look at it, I've passed on it a lot in the past. Sucks.

This particular one has a couple extremely small moth holes, but at 2 dollars I couldn't say no

I've still never found anything Caruso. With a few holes and only two bucks, I would have bought it as well just to have done so...

The purple tag Flusser is the thrift fodder; the MTM / bespoke stuff @ATLjon got is the good stuff regardless of it having been tailored to fit someone else. I've passed on it, before I knew the difference in the labels.

That's messed up, I looked that up and found it in the Urban Dictionary.

Rusty Trombone
To get rimmed whilst receiving a hearty reach round, thus resembling a trombone player in full chorus.

I suppose you dont know what a Dirty Sanchez is either? Cleveland Steamroller?

Rewatching Buffy and I'm on Once More, With Feeling and reminded how everyone should watch that episode.

I haven't done any real thrifting in 2 weeks, since my last pretty decent haul. At least one, maybe two cherries popped this time.

Nothing available at the moment.

Here goes - all from today:











I have always wanted one of these, and now I have one - garish!! (does not count towards one of my pops)














I think these next two are pops, but I haven't looked them up yet - bought solely because I thought Spoo posted the same label a while ago. Both are truly NWOT.











A definite pop for me - realsies Burberry Prorsum. Made in Italy and all that jazz.


















A collab I haven't seen before - Gitman x BAPE. Is a thing?





















No-name brand - I just loved the colors.





Truly NWOT:

























Never ceases to surprise how many different fabrics / variations in which the Ludlow came.





New cold weather outdoor work jacket - appears to have a smudge of paint so who cares if it gets ruined.










The beast of the day. New with tag from BNY.







I saw this tag and got a little giddy... Could it be? ?? !





And this one made me smile.

Blumkin. That will be the name of my first-born. [I think we should stop this here and now, lest we get 17 pages of this...]

 

[JabbaTheSlut]

Alaskan Pipeline has to be the best one though.
