You should put your shop in your signature, TTR! It's not spamming, you know...
A good jacket Chenners, and a much better photo. You look almost normal now, except for that hat, whose provenance was that it was last worn by Fatty Arbuckle in a Hal Roach silent movie.
I have about five jackets with slight fraying on one cuff. i can guarantee that, at least since they have been in my posession, none of them have been within 300 yards of tommy hilfiger, nor chensvold and his enormous hat.
even so, i will not add a provenance surcharge.
pm for more info.
Hey Shamrock, your parcel full of the good thing arrived today. The Campus brand all season overcoat is utterly tremendous, in fact, I'm going upstairs to masturbate all over it again.
and this:

Mosquito landing pad, I believe they call it in the tropics.
orvis shooting jacket, green harris, 44.
Ties, 3BD sport shirts and a cricket jumper/tennis sweater new in the shop. More suits once I get the camera working.
-navy w/chalk stripe 42R/S sack suit, 3/2, plain vent, nat. shoulder, 2 on cuff. great shape. pants about a 34x30, cuffed. great condition. guessing southwick mfg, missing manufacturer tags but next to a southwick suit from same mens store.
-manhattan ultralight poplin, dk. salmon colored BD. excellent roll. missing several buttons. 65/35 blend but fabric soft, pill-less and in excelllent condition. has somewhat of a white irridescent sheen, reminds me of similar green shirt worn by Miles in the well-known photo.
-16.5L workshirt, obscure maker, likely NOS, 2 chest pockets, heavy all-cotton khaki twill.
-NOS all-cotton ocbd, white, 16-2, tapered fit. 3rd button. from small mens store in chicago, has union stamp on front, like gants and a handful of arrows ive seen, so assuming made by one of the two, probably gant. marks from its long storage, will need a cleaning or two.
Also viewed,
camel colored wool trench, 40L. good shape but needs several buttons. essentially a lightweight polo coat, but with the rt. shoulder shield thingy like a trench.
many, many overcoats/raincoats, plaids, tweeds, interesting color schemes, some look to be unworn.
just found 8 mercer shirts. they look to be a factory mixup-30" sleeves instead of 36". as theyre summer fabrics, perfect to convert to short sleeves. appear to be new, washed and unworn. all all-cotton. 15.5s- 4-blue seersucker, 1-red seersucker , 1- dk. blue w/ 3/8" white stripe. 15"- 2 in light/slate blue small plaid. shipping 2 of them overseas runs 12 bucks.

-hunt club (j c penneeeez!) madras, looks to be unworn, L.
-LS madras, 80s cotton, " " " " ".
-mcgregor sportcoat, 40R, teal-ish wool tweed (looks better than it sounds, though still somewhat "unique"), hook,3/2,nat. shoulder,etc. 50s/60s.
-deadstock w/ tags sky blue k-mart/generic sta-prest, 34x30
-Princeton campus store 3/2, lapped seam, turnback-cuff 3/2 brown herringbone sack w/ double vent. showing its age, but only issue is some wear around middle buttonhole/ edge in same place, hidden when buttoned. 50s/60s.
-H.I.S. Sportswear muted navy plaid lightweight 3/2 sack, 60s.
Guy has 1 red and 1 blue in the bag. 1 other member has expressed interest. 3 blue srsucker, 2-15" plaid, and the striped one all still avail.
i keep saying that im going to stop doing this for awhile and clear out the immense pile of shit thats crowding me out of my home, but deals like this can't be passed up. what with the used clothing embargo on GB.
I have a navy blazer, 42S, HSM, 3/2.5 but could be nudged into complete 3/2 with some pressing or steaming, hopsack, minimal lining, a little more padding than the Brooks version. Specs in inches are chest 22.5 x 2 = 45, sleeve length about 23.5, shoulders 18.25, length from the top of the collar a flat 29. I am 5'9", 170, and it looks ridiculous on me. Or Thom Browne, which is, essentially, the same thing.
PM me with interest and I will get you some pix. My machine here at home won't play with Photobucket and I am tired of trying to convince it otherwise.

I've gotten ahold of some new wool and cashmere Kiton fabric. If you want pictures, let me know.
Makers (red tag) bd, mid/lt. green graph check, 16.5x3.
-ex. cond. 41S Norman Hilton gray sack, hook vented, narrow lapel. 3 on cuff. 2.5 roll 3 or 3 button front. dk. horn buttons reeinforced in a way ive never seen before, fabric made in england. possibility the pants may show up later.
-Norman hilton 41s charcoal herringbone sack, 3 button, plain vent, 3 patch pocket (no flaps) chest pocket slants.
L puritan cardy, gray, usa, 70% wool
17.5x34 gant ocbd, blue, hk
17.5x34 gitman bd, pink pinpoint, usa
2 Med. 60s golf/tennis shirts, 4 button long placket style, new or like new, ultra-fine lisle cotton. lt. blue one w/no pocket is usa, says "seminole" , white one w/ pocket is HK, says "pine hill"or something like that (small logos)
in "also viewed" dept, 38 madras jacket w/ hook vent, blue and white, tiny ding on back of arm. weave looks like madras but also says "wash/wear" on label, so may have a small % synthetic.
44R or thereabouts 4 button (2x2) DB sack in grass green, skinny lapel,double vent.
also those khakis are sorted through, theres several pairs of wool tropicals, army, navy, and usmc but all roughly same pattern, in 32 and 34 waists (all longer legs) which would fit a modern 30 or 32. 1 pr. US navy unissued khaki, 60s thru 80s, in all-poly, 32/unhemmed. 1 pair mint deadstock (still the original color) 36L breeches which would convert nicely to shorts. 1 actual pair of cotton WWII chinos in 35 waist (looks to fit true to modern), small stain on leg.
