Two-day sale. Will accept sales through Tuesday, since my last day of work is Wednesday (i.e., quick access to FedEx). After that I'll be busy packing up and moving back to New York. Anyway...

1) Buzz Rickson + William Gibson N-1, Size Small: $400

According to History Preservation, this piece is no longer in production. As far as I could find, this was the last small on sale anywhere. I had to go through Sufu proxy Parachutes to get it. And after all that, it was a bit too small for me. Price merely recoups my cost.

All tags attached. Comes in Buzz Rickson box, with Buzz Rickson and Sugar Cane catalogs.

Measurements according to me:

Shoulders: 17"

Armpits: 19.5"

Length: 25"

Sleeves: 23.25"

2) Issey Miyake Lightweight Wool Coat/sportjacket, Size Meduim: $600

Love everything about this piece, but it doesn't work for me. It's a bit too long and narrow, or I'm a bit too short and fat. Anyway, my tailor's jaw dropped when he looked at the craftsmanship. Everything is hand sewn. And the material is this incredibly complex (yet subtle) wool weave that was accomplished by attached two different layers. I've tried to capture this as best as I could.

Color is like a military green. Made in Japan.

Measurements according to me:

Shoulders: 17"

Armpits: 19.75"

Length: 31.5"

Sleeves: 24.5"

3) Ann Demeulemeester Longsleeve T, Size Small: $120

Self-explanatory. New with tags. Retailed for $180. Nice contrast dotted-white seam stiching, which I tried to capture. Very lightweight, supersoft. Deep neck. 100% cotton.

In the interest of full disclosure, because I purchased this on sale, I would profit from this sale. However, the markdown is still considerable compared to retail.

My measurements:

Shoulders: 17.5"

Armpits: 19"

Length: 28.75"

Sleeve: 27"
