Great haul. Oddly enough, this is what I’m most envious of. I just never find dress belts in any kind of wearable condition. Best I’ve done were a couple of NWT stretch plaited belts in anonymous brand. They’re OK, but I’m yet to score anything decent.

Nice shoes. Who makes RL in USA?

Those are AE I do believe

I thought these were all either Rancourt or Ansewn.

Nope. Most are AE, some are Alden, and a couple are Rancourt.

This particular pair are the Sanderson, which is definitely an AE model, which occasionally you can catch on Shoebank for cheap. A very nice, sleek LWB if I do say myself.

Yeah, I just found the part about the Sanderson model. I think the Ask Andy thread I was reading is a bit outdated. I can't find any evidence of them being made in actual Alden factories. Only Alden Cape Cod.

While on the subject, it may go without saying, but the most valuable source of suiting information I have come across and makes for quite an aesthetically pleasing coffee table book as well. Filled with the information it should be filled with, not just the history or the specific lineages, the Savile Row "Club" or whatever, and the bios of each individual master cutters of each house etc.., but a great general source of info on a small street in London that flat out invented, in some way or form, every type of article of clothing worn for over the past 200 years or so.....

I borrowed the Bespoke book from the public library. Awesome book, great history added the respect I had for those businesses.

Nat or Fueco, ever see one of these before? Windbreaker anorak top with wetsuit material at the hems, cuffs and collar. edit: its Patagonia


Looks like a dry top for kayaking to me. Also, I miss that store.

It honestly is just a really great book. Not just the history of the Row and individual houses in the club, but just reading about not just the construction, but the finishing of the suits, each characteristic of a suit completely broken down and dissected, every traditional aspect of suit making explained (i.e. the bottom of your jacket suppose to be sitting exactly midway between your body and the ground, or the traditional way in which the notch lapel is to be cut and hit, at the exact midway point between the fold and your shoulder) to new variations and individual houses being known for specific styles. Like I had no idea (the houses still adhering to the classic approach), that Row suits pants have no belt loops. They feel that this little addition is needless and that they can jeopardize the drape of the jacket, all while giving the tailor the ability to prove to his peers that he is able to make the pants fit and sit perfectly on the clients body without the aid of a belt. Knowing every single detail you can about suit construction gives you a far greater respect for good suits and a far better understanding of how the one your possibly wearing right now, should actually look. Not to mention just the general information is extremely helpful for thrifting.

They're nice and dark, they've got a single digit on the button (seems to be a factor with collectors, and is good), i assume a talon zipper, the single needle stitching on the inside of the back pockets is also desirable apparently. They're hemmed, which sucks. They're a small size, what is the actual waist/inseam. I think that can be a difficulty as well (but not necessarily). Nice find! I'd guess early 70s.

Great info. Thanks dude!

I've been looking at picking up a goretex shell, or some sort of waterproof shell, and while sorting through stuff yesterday I realized that the Plectrum jacket I picked up a couple weeks ago had a funny hand to it. Looked at the seams on the inside and realize they were all flash taped, didnt take too long to connect the dots and realize it was what I was looking for.
