That... That has got to be one of the most beautiful patterns of Madras I have EVER seen. Great catch, Lee. Wear it well.
Where did you get those? I should have got some instead of the Huntington tan summer suit I got which, whilst being very good, has taken a hell of a lot of alterations to make it decent (particularly getting the excessive lining removed). And it's not even a 3-2.
Nice. I need to get on there more frequently.
Well done Stan and Sid, lovely finds.
Lovely NOS Dexter's, he is a lucky Boy and you are a great uncle Woof..
I do hope he doesn't wear them with the drainpipes he favors.

All of these finds were in mint to excellent condition ....
I found them in the attic and hadn't seen any of these things for at least five years ....
the tuxedo still fits me and it's a keeper ..... also keeping the baseball cap, Birdwells, and the Press shorts and pencil-stripe shirt
everything else however is slated to be traded for chili dogs, cheeseburgers, french fries, and frozen citrusy beverages
----------------------
also located was an excellent Late '70s Prep ski jacket in navy/royal/yellow/white from '78 and a classic navy blue Eddie Bauer down jacket with navy corduroy collar, those are earmarked for some little rats in the west ....
did locate a monster box of minty sneakers for discussion on another thread but yeah Incontinence pants, Vans, Converse, Saucony, N!ke, all present and accounted for ....
the only casualty was a pair of Half Cabs that went the way of all flesh ....
I look at my old stuff, see Medium or some 15½ or 16 or 40R evilness on the label, and then I weep because ... you know .... it doesn't fit me anymore and I've got to let it go but this blast from my past .... I was a little Ivy Prep brat, what can I say ....
can't wait to locate the old Patagucc'
/\ I'll find you some stuff kid, I got ya ....
