Howard Yount tropical wool nailhead trous, EU46

$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.

This is easier than importing some stuff from France and cheaper than buying some overpriced $100 jawnz like a chump.

Size EU 41, but stretches out. Equivalent to a size 9~9.5 after wear.

Four colors available - red, yellow, green, and eggplant. All new and handsewn. The original, not some Tom's garbage.

FRUITS compilation by Phaidon

$20 shipped

Regardless of how you feel about funky (extreme) Japanese street style, these snaps are more than mere "fit pics." Photographs by Shoichi Aoki are complex portraits framed against the backdrop of city life, creating poignant tableaux long before the Sartorialist popularized the concept. Softcover with sewn binding.

US36/EU46 navy linen sportcoat from Howard Yount

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.

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.
