Please tell me this is not a thing.... i pass on this **** like almost everyday 

I sold one on the Bay for $35, incl. shipping, so I made a few bucks but it wasn't covering my rent or anything.

Thanks. I mean, i am familiar with undercover and Junya/CDG and their use of distressing, patchwork etc.
I just couldn't find these particular pairs when searching through google and ebay.

I think with designers like that it's impossible if you can't figure out what year/season it's from. There are only a couple pieces I can name from either one. It's possible there was a crotch blowout on the Uism but everything else looks like distressing. Anyway crazy rare finds, even more so if you aren't in NY or LA

Authentic? I can pick it up for $400 (Not exactly thrift but.... 100% cashmere Hermes reversible throw/blanket/shawl sort of thing

)

I'm pretty sure Gran Sasso isn't Kiton related. You might be thinking of Sartorio Napoli, or MP by Massimo Piombo (manufactured by Kiton)

Gran Sasso (Kiton right?) Raglan Crewneck in a dope Forrest Green Merino/Cash BLend. Tagged L

Could any denim heads tell me if;
1. These are both real, &
2. If the rips, patches etc. are part of the design, and not added post purchase?

Wow! Good ass epic haul! 100% sure The Undercover and CDGs are predistressed. The wear patterns do not look natural at all. Also, the holes and patch work on the Undercover looks way too uniformed to be naturally occurring. REally really really rare and awesome finds but totally fashion house status and the novelty will wear out soon because in the end, they are just so so quality jeans with an over priced tag. Good luck on tracking down the year and seasons especially with the CDG because they released wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much stuff! But, if you happen to find them, please keep us updated!

At first I was like, where did Ian Erickson go. All yall mofos changing names and **** hah.

I was hesitant to do this, because I have had a transaction go well with this user previously. I think 2 months with no communication or the traded item would grant the approval of this.

I traded an MMM sportcoat to Vexco for a suit and shirt on 5/5. I sent the garment on 5/5 and it was received on 5/8 (stated in PM's by Vexco)

I sent a PM in late May and early June and he has yet to respond. He has been online since those messages have been sent, and previous communication was immediate up to this point.

Please advise, be very careful with trades with Vexco (If he shows up again)

I know I have few posts, but I have been here since 2/13.

Does anyone have good tips for thrifting in the Miami area? I will travel north or south of Miami as well

Shout-out to user @Takai for not only proxying an item for me, but also throwing some shirts in gratis. Totally unnecessary and extremely kind/thoughtful. Stand-up guy.

I used to have his cell number, but can't find it right now. I was going to text him when I realized he'd been MIA for a bit.
