Bump - don't miss dis

$449 $429 $415 $399 $369

A wool blouson in brown/beige houndstooth with horn buttons and ribbed hem, cuffs, and collar -- the ribbing is made out of knitted gradient wool and not just regular elastic! Features two front pockets; lined minimally in the shoulders and has taped seams. The overall construction, styling, and hand on the material are superb. Though 100% wool, the material has some tensile quality and is very soft; it's in between a coat and a knit, so it has some give and adapts to you. You can toss it in a bag and pull it out and it comes right back to life. Equivalent to a size 34~36. It is styled like an A-1/bomber/blouson and has a cropped look. Made in Japan.

$280

Size: 9UK/10US (fits like 10.5)

Color: Tobacco suede/fawn color

Composition: Suede w/ leather sole and leather lined interior

Condition: Brand new in box

Manufacture: Italy

Retail: $800+

Notes: Sutor Mantellassi tobacco suede loafers in a gently elongated and tapering shape, not too chiseled or blunt. A very handsome shape.

Soft, leather-lined suede but with an unconstructed feel inside the shoe. The suede has a wonderful nap and excellent hue I woul describe as fawn-colored. It's a little darker than a too-bright tobacco, but lighter than chestnut. Made in Italy.

Sized UK 9, and supposed to correspond to US 10, but fit more like a wide US 10.5.

Come with box, bags, adjustable shoe trees and Sutor Mantellassi shoe horn.

Craig Leon - Nommos LP

$69 shipped

Highly rare and highly coveted -- and deservedly so -- solo LP by Craig Leon, a sound engineer of certain renown. 1981, Takoma. Minimalistic and early drone synth experiments using ring loops. Even if you are remotely curious you should pick this up -- you won't be disappointed. Sells for $80+ on discogs. What appears to be a nick in the LP on the picture is just some camera glare.

US36/EU46 navy linen sportcoat from Howard Yount

Sold out immediately in this size on Howard Yount.com, as seen here:

http://www.howardyount.com/collections/spring-2011/products/linen-jacket-navy-herringbone

Was going to return, but this is quicker so I'm willing to sell it slightly at cost. This was $549 shipped. I'll do $535 shipped. My main interest is getting this to people who missed the initial sale rush, but I can take a small hit. No defects, I just ordered a couple and will be sticking with one.

Comes with some pretty great hangers with well-articulated shoulders.

$130

Size: EU46/US30

Manufacture: Italy

Retail: $165

Composition: 100% Angelico Super 100's tropical wool nailhead

Color: Ocean/slate blue. The color is awe-inspiring.

Condition: Worn ~5 times. Recently dry cleaned. Waist is unaltered (split waistband), pants hemmed with no cuff on a diagonal (inseam to front: 29'', inseam to back, 30'', with 1.75'' to let out) Hand-hemmed by my Neapolitan-trained tailor (no blind stitch -- see detailed photos). I had the belt keeper removed from the front of the pants, as I find it an annoyance. Comes with original tags.

Notes: Good spring/summer weight, handsome color. Lined to the knee, three point closure, etc. etc. These were offered in Summer 2010 for $165 from HY's site and will likely not be offered again, because he works with limited runs of fabric.
