its getting pretty thick in my house, at the moment. all i need is a damned pair of longwings and instead i find everything else ever manufactured, and bring it home, where it has started to lend my dwelling the atmosphere of a thrift shop . sale! sale! sale! everything must go! (besides the gant, that ones full price hahaha)

Yeah did all the Large people move to the windy city or are we missing something? 

here we go...

HALF OFF sale on suits and sportcoats at st. vincent depaul society. all manner of grey and brown harris/herringbone 2 button sacks from 38 reg to about 46 l.

brooksblend charcoal chalkstripe sack, 3/2, pants missing, 42 reg.

3 button green herringbone sack (might be 3/2, couldnt tell from way lapel was sitting), very thin lapel, about 38 or 40 reg. ( Im about 42-43 and it was skin tight on me). 60s-70s  era label of some custom tailor in Honk Kong.

most interesting find was a dk. slate blue/lt. navy/cobalt/ 3/2 hook vent sack with a lt. olive windowpane pattern. heavy wool like tweed but not colored like tweed. about a 44 reg. id say. pre 76, made by marshall fields (chicagos premier dept. store until it was swallowed by the evil, down-market macys). fascinating coat except for smudges all over the bottom, which looked like theyd come out, but im no laundry expert.

"SERO for Jim Haddon" 100% pima cotton plaid BD, main color white with black and red. L but a small one....id say more like a modern medium.  placket warped from over-enthusiastic laundering but nothing an iron wont take care of.

HATHAWAY red "biddeford plaid" ( a madras-type rather than scotch plaid) blend SS BD, 3 button collar. "M", sri lanka ( but definitely older).

black modern lacoste polo, sz. 6, good shape.

yesterday i fetched two pairs of vintage tan scotchgrain plain bluchers (nettletons and 'british walkers made in usa') from me post office, courtesy of mr. shamrockmonkmonkey. GREAT shoes, both. bought with a VERY decent price + great friendly service.

cheers dennis, THANKS.

)blush( all in a days work.

will do.  you, moose, and aljazz are on my mind as i go about my travels...

one of you mentioned on some post or another taking the largest boys size interchangeably with a 36s. ive seen some brooks and L.L. Bean in a size 20......will that work if they show up again?

Almost brand new 9.5 C (and a narrow-looking C) cordo beefrolls. leather needs a little hydration but barely worn.scallopped/pinking-sheared tongue. most of sole still shiny. "handsewn genuine leather" in gold leaf on sole. unlined and the insides are spotless. only real wear other than a little ding or 2 by the toes seems to be where the brand label was....cant make it out at all, but id give excellent odds that theyre florsheim imperials or better (nettleton, alden even).

made in ireland wallabees, 11 D. reddish-brown smooth leather. minor scuffing and discoloration on toes, will buff/polish out im sure. bottoms of soles coated in sticky tarlike substance, seems to come off easily.
