Epic Harrington win. (Also, Barracuda seems to be becoming the new name for these; all the most recent BB stuff calls them that vs. Harrington (though maybe a subset with the fancy back-vent. But anyway, be sure to include Barracuda in a title if that's where these are destined to go.)

Some sport coats and blazers..

The vintage BB... So good.

I've found a few Brooks Brothers ties over the years. The patterns and colors are still nice, but they're a little too wide for me (I'm slender and wide ties look weird). Would you advise taking them to a tailor to have them re-sewn? and if so, does anyone in Chicago know a trustworthy tailor?

Thanks

Doubtful that that's worth your time. Just eBay BB ties if you want them; you'll find them for less than thrift + tailoring and have your pick of styles.

Baracuta is the name of the brand that came up with the Harrington jacket design.

Haha my email notification caught your sneaky edit! =) Yes, Baracuta--not Barracuda. But BB and the like are using Barracuda and this association/ name recognition (and slightly different spelling) to their advantage. One. Two.

Some stuff.....
Some moar pics of that Tom Ford raspberry silk knit I picked up the other day.

Uber recent storm gray Burberry mackintosh style trench. The "good" stuff, made in England. N/A, my size.

Awesome pair of vintage wingtips. Only thing I can find on this company is that they bought a storefront in Wales in 1934. Anybody seen this brand before? N/A, my size.

RLPL lambskin leather jacket, size M but fits more like a L. Available.

I don't normally pick up Southwick, but the price was right and it should fit one of our fellow thread members. Super schlubby silk windowpane.

Really well done original drawing.

Vintage Corneliani cashmere DB from yesterday. 4x1, but the fit on it is perfect and I scooped a vintage Abboud SC this morning to strip of the horn buttons to use on this bad boy.

Another D&B purse for my wife. She's got quite the collection now!

Shout out to ATLjon for a great trade. Here's my bounty.

Shout out to Gdwilson for a great trade as well. The Oxxford's are some of the nicest trousers I've ever handled.

And a huge, huge shout out to The Need Machine. Now that Christmas is over, and my wife has opened her present, I can finally post this. Chanel pure cashmere and silk lined great coat. Let me put it this way, it was a good thing she was sitting down when she opened it.

His photos are better than mine.

And finally, all this talk of fit pics and turtle necks.
Vintage English made windowpane overcoat. eBay
Zegna merino roll neck, thrifted
Gant by Michael Bastian tweed windowpane trousers, discount
Previously mentioned awesome vintage wingtips.

Second pair of these shoes I've found in my size. They definitely aren't getting returned. And my first Dormeuil find. Obviously well made.

The guy I got it from said it was his dads, who was a doctor practicing in the Detroit area in the 60's and 70's. Apparently it was a custom job that he had ordered through Hudson's that cost a pretty penny back then. Looks like he didn't wear it very much.

Edit: Man, what a sad ending for that building.

Indeed, it was tough to see that building demolished. Was rather like a final nail in the coffin of the city.

In any case, great fit, @eazye ! Fighting back at the cold weather in style.
