Google search reveals not much except some info that Baskins was a clothes store in Joliet, Illinois. It's now called Mark Shale.

Our fine young Harpo tipped me off the other day over a grey Shaggy Dog. 13 bids so far on a secondhand jumper. Only two of them are mine, though.

Must say the Brooks covert cloth suit is truly beautiful.

It's lovely, isn't it? Lucky old Harpo, having such a slender figure.

Dry-cleaning ought to do it. Perhaps Harpo hadn't thought of that.
Then again...

Now Ebay are about to open a shop near Oxford Street. But no-one will be allowed to take anything away with them and there will be no tills. And I thought Subway were weird.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
Yes, dry cleaning will eventually fuck-up your clothes - once or twice might be alright if absolutely required.
Sunlight (seriously), air, steam, stain remover/and or Fabreze where necessary, are the answers in the long term.

Dry-cleaning certainly messed up the lining of one of my Burberrys' macs. Nothing ominous to report otherwise, but I prefer handwashing anything I'm iffy about in Stergene. My wife ruined a nice cardie about twelve years ago by chucking it into the machine.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
I started buying vintage on ebay this summer:
1 shirt - almost falling apart, I should have returned it
1 suit - advertised as one minor repair needed, actually numerous repairs required but too nice to return, however if all repairs had been mentioned the price would have been lower
1 coat - for some reason the sleeves were ridiculously short, returned successfully but I got stung by customs on this one when it arrived so it has cost me
1 shirt - advertised as new condition but has a tear on it, just messaged them requesting a refund
Am I unlucky, or is this normal?
some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
I won a "sears fraternity prep" jacket a few weeks ago. Needs some altering in the sleeve department but otherwise a fun jacket. The fabric is similar to a pendleton shirt and it almost feels like one when worn, remarkably soft. Anyone else own this make?
