Dear lord ...

I was so pissed when I was in ATL that the place I wanted to go to for Chicken and Waffles was apparently closed for renovations or some such.

I have that Super 180 suit, the wool on it is so insanely, ridiculously fine (hence the girth measurement of wool fibers being 14 micron) but so ******* silky. It's weird, the finer the wool the more durable it is and the stronger the wool fibers are, but when wearing it, you inherently and instinctively act in accordance to the situation being the polar opposite, due to its hand and weight. Acting like the finest touch will shatter the thing and that your breaking some bones if someone lays hands on you.

I think you're wrong here, man. Everything I've read says that the finer the wool, the less durable the fabric. In fact, that's why workhorse staples shouldn't be too fine if you're wearing them regularly as they'll wear out too quickly.

The next time that you are down this way, I will have to carry you to Yo' Mama's. Best chicken and Belgian waffles I have had the pleasure of eating (and homemade syrup)!

This is my understanding as well. The higher the number (i.e. finer the wool strand) the more likely that that suit should be used for special occasions only. A good business suit should be around 120s.

Plus one.

If the finer wool was more durable, workwear would be made from it rather than thicker fabric.

Today I hit two stores, pictures already taken, measuring now. Mostly eBay fodder, headed back this week to pick up what appears to be a good Bogner.

This was the fun one:







MEOW!

Hopefully once I can get some of this backlog converted to stackable green I will be taking a few more trips down your way, and that just sounds fantastic.

Had to go out today and pick up this little guy for someone


Then stopped by the thrift across from the zoo, and found

Two mint cotton Oxxford SCable orphans in a 42L Wasnt feeling like buying anything, but if anyone wants them get at me and I'll go pick them up.

Then came across this unfortunate name.


And from friday's thrift adventures



This is the good stuff, right? Fabric feels almost like Sashiko. 38/39R FF Trou Available

Also this lil guy

Oh Hai


These are a personal grail find for me.

Ferragamo lavorazione originale, finally a pair of ferragamos that fit. N/A

Also stoked that I tried on the pink brioni I found, and it fits really damn well, even in the sleeves.

Oh, and I found one of these sitting in an underground lot

Thing looks like it's been sitting there for months, the interior is cherry mint though Mmmm...

Well this is a brag thread so I figured I'd brag a bit. Not bad for a $4 investment.

 

[cpmac7]

This makes me want to get my Catalina item(s) out soon

330ck is a cool dude and I had a blast hanging today.

We both got told we dressed like Europeans at an Italian cafe and then i just got told i looked like a j crew model while trying to buy a beach towel.

I think i like Florida.

Should I just stay home tomorrow?
