Obedient Sons pants

I bought these from BBlessing when they were having that exclusive weekend-long trunk sale of Japan-only Obedient Sons stuff. They're a size 28, and were handmade in New York (if I would have to guess, judging by what I've seen of their suiting, they were made at Martin Greenfields in Brooklyn, who also hand-makes Band of Outsiders and Patrik Ervell suiting -- but, again, I could be wrong).

They fit perfectly, they're beautiful pants, impeccably made, but unfortunately I can't find a way to make them mesh with the rest of my closet. They have been sitting, folded and sealed, in storage since the day I got them from BBlessing. They have never been worn out of the house, and only tried on twice at most (like I said, I tried to make them work...)

I am looking for no more than I paid for them from BBlessing (which, I should add, was already significantly reduced from retail) : $165 shipped.

The waist is about 14 and a half inches across when laid flat (consider this an approximation, as the material is really thick and hard to lay perfectly flat); but to give you an idea, I wear a size 0 in Thom Browne, a size 30 in Patrik Ervell, and a 28 in Levis. The inseam, including the band, is about 29 in, and about 26.5 not including the band. I may have measured it a little off, but I think that's about right, as I usually wear a 30 inseam and these fit ever-so-slightly cropped.

And hey, let us not forget: Obedient Sons is no more. If you buy these, you're buying a piece of history!

Patrik Ervell dark navy oilcloth parka with removable cashmere/wool lining, F/W 2008

Size M. Based on the classic M-51 military parka (see: http://www.vintagetrends.com/images/lot/670/670-0020.jpg) Really incredible piece. Button-out cashmere/wool blend lining. Can post my own images and measurements upon request, but realize it's meant to fit big. Retailed for $1200 at Opening Ceremony. Worn once (not in rain or snow); too big for me.

$600 shipped.

(Also: runway image is from S/S 2008, but the piece is based on that exact pattern, save for the removable lining.)

Size M. Worn several times. Really nice fit. Have way too much navy in my wardrobe.

Martin Margiela navy high-top converse-style sneakers size 9.5 (?)

Worn twice. Impeccably made (same factory as Yohji and Common Projects and Lanvin sneakers). I always thought it was silly that companies made high-end versions of All-Stars, but after seeing this, it makes sense. The canvas is stitched to the rubber (with red thread) so it won't separate like standard Converse sneakers do, and the insole is made of leather, so they won't fall apart. Really impressive construction; unfortunately I only really wear dress shoes these days and I never really dug the look of high-top sneakers to begin with, so I only wore these out twice, and very briefly. They're really practically new.

$180 shipped.

Tom Ford 'Cary' sunglasses

Near-new condition, with original Tom Ford velvet case, cleaning cloth, box and authenticity card. Wore them a few times and then decided they were too big for my face, so I put them back in the case and let them sit in my drawer. (Note: the velvet case got linty from sitting around for a while and when I tried to clean it I scratched up the velvet a bit. Not that it should matter; the glasses are totally A+.)

These retail for around $250. Yours for $160 shipped.
