do i look like a lawyer yet?

whiz, the shell is 100% virgin wool but feels kinda tech-y/almost scub-ish. the construction's pretty beautiful, piping along the top of the sleeves and piping along the "raglan" edge as well. fits really well in the shoulders and then flows out from there. i'll post a picture when it's cool enough to actually wear or sooner if i get too antsy to wear it.

polio, i keep feeling like this sale was much less organized than usual... can you please confirm for me that i didnt somehow miss piles and piles of really good things, and that there was a lot of bad Varvatos lying around?

i'd only been to one prior to this, so i can't really speak to the organization. but there was TONS of bad varvatos/varvatos for converse/varvatos for 2(x)ist, etc. the jil sander coat was trapped inside a rack of bad parkas and motocross jackets. i lucked out when i found a pair of rick owens pants in a pile of canali dress pants, although the discount on those wasn't that great. over all, the things i liked i had seen in the store a couple weeks ago for the same price. the markdowns generally didn't seem all that great.

thanks! i'm pretty psyched about it myself.

posted in recent purchases, too but...oversized jil sander jacket $300 marked down from $1300.

kapaiyow.

no pics yet, but warehouse sale:

oversized jil sander coat: $300, marked down from $1300. BOOYA

nigella. we'd fuck in the saatchi gallery, right above the shark in formaldehyde.

ah! that looks great. do you think it matters that the "tongue" is not detached?

yeah. i don't want to talk about it. haha. it's over. now i just have to move, etc.

i'm not sure if you're referring to my boots, but i haven't made a cut yet. the 2nd pic is just for detail

so the consensus is: cut. now to get my hand on some leather cutting tools.

polio, can we get a closeup on the shoes?

here ya go.

to chris: you think that'll work? they're really tight to my calves.

to bkzoo: that's what i'm leaning towards.

even taking months off, i can't rep you again yet.

i've been meaning to post these to this thread since the beginning, but never got around to it.

i bought these equestrian boots a couple years back at an estate sale for $10 but could never figure out how to wear them. they're just too high and too tight to wear realistically. should i pull a chris and cut them down to a more manageable size?

Are you going to dress up as a coporate pirate?

oh, man. i made someone's sig. +rep

sorry if this is a stupid question, but where would i find an unbranded PAM? ebay?

Definitely not in the $300-400 range, but I just had to post this Stowa I found on Ebay. A WWII Luftwaffe Pilot's watch restored pristine mechanical (but not cosmetic, apparently) condition by a horologist.

Link to the auction

argh, that's pretty fuckin beautiful.

sweeeeeeettttt

BUMP

so i'm joining the work force and need a watch that doesn't look like a part of steven hawking's wheelchair. basically, i'm looking for a watch that something a depression-era banker would wear to make sure he's not late for his meeting with boss tweed. something like this:

just not dkny. i want a starter watch that's not a piece of crap, for less than say $300-400? any advice?
