Not a sale of my own, rather a heads up to anyone London-based.

Blackman's off Brick Lane will be getting a whole load of Sanders playboy boots in, roughly sometime next week. Not sure what they're getting, but the deal you can get it is well well worth heading down!

I picked up a pair the other day, sadly which I've realised are just too big. They're size 12 - and I picked them up as they were at a price which you absolutely not turn down (£25). I'll post them up for sale at the price I got them soon.

If someone was to head down, could they send me a PM if you were able to pick up a pair of size 11 brown suede Sanders and I would pay you back?
Cheers

Yeah, I'd pay that as well.

I spoke to the guy in there for a while, nice bloke. And the shoes are top quality. Just wise I could have got some 11s when I was there.

Hi folks:

I'm fairly new here, but here's a great, very traditional, ivy number. Vintage Brooks Brothers Makers heavy weight tweed suit, in brown and tan weave, size 42L. The label is the older BB one, just on the inside of the collar, with the text in bold capital letters, rather than the more recent (though not too recent) cursive.

I'm thinking the suit might be early 1960s, but is in extraordinary condition for its age. It looks to have been worn very little, and the pocket linings in the pants don't even show any pilling or evidence of abuse from washing. I am tempted to call this pretty near NOS condition, worn a few times, then languished in a suit bag for many years...

The jacket is a 3 roll 2 button sack, natural shoulder, fully canvassed, patch flap pockets, two button cuff, 1/4 lined, and hook vented. The pants are flat front, with one button back pocket, and one slit back pocket. The pants have some nice details, like a loop in the front for the prong of your belt buckle to slip through.

There is no size label, but I'd say it's about a 42L, here are the measurements:

shoulders: 19"
sleeve from shoulder to cuff: 26"
chest: 22"
length from bottom of collar: 32"

pant waist across top: 19"
inseam: 33" with a 2" cuff

I'm asking $60 shipped within the U.S. I will happily ship to the UK, but will do so at cost--I'm guessing it will be between $30-5 for int'l priority mail, but will check if there is interest.

If interested please email me at: jason94708(at)gmail(dot)com rather than message me here. I check that much more frequently. Also, please email me if you are interested in pictures of this lovely suit. I have not sold anything here before, but have on Styleforvm, and please check my 100% feedback on ebay under the seller name: jchosko

Thanks!

All best,

Jason
