ran23 10,766 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Looking at the discount Tie rack, I saw a nice red paisley. No label, so I check the back blade, a stitch was missing, so maybe that is why it was on sale. Further up the back blade, I found the label 'Burberry' $2.00 1 adiantum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ran23 10,766 Report post Posted June 19, 2018 I bought a Lord & Taylor Blue sport coat off ebay. Fit was good except shoulders. Guys at my Men's Store assured me I was being picky, good fit overall. two button, dual vent, take off all the new tags. it's a keeper. First time to fit in a 'slim fit' jacket. 1 adiantum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ran23 10,766 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 Picked out a grey strip suit on special discount. they offered me a few tie to go with it. I know the ties in the backroom, not put out yet. They brought out about 12 to put out for sale. I picked a nice Navy pattern tie. It turned out to be a $195 Turnbull & Asser. that is worth more than the basic suit. yes, I got it. 2 meyery2k and adiantum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ran23 10,766 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 On ebay if you total up $100 in your cart, enter 'Pregame15' for a 15% discount. Needed 8.00 for make that, found a Nordstrum shirt to bring up the total. I think that code is good for tonight only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trim fit, this is Japanese sizing. On the 'bay, I saw a Uniqlo Cashmere cardigan-- entry bid $3.90 Canadian. With hours left, I got that coming. ready for Fall. 1 adiantum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adiantum 36,028 Report post Posted September 17, 2018 Ran, you make me feel permanently dressed down but I do enjoy reading of your wardrobe additions & the bargains you get them at. I bought Merrell shoes online for $22 & was incredibly excited until they arrived. The measurements given were wrong by 1cm about 1/2 inch & they are too small. 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always seemed that there was someone with some tricky last-second software that outbid me every time. From then on...the first filter I clicked on was Buy It Now. All the time I would have spent bidding...that puppy coulda been on a truck headin' my way. 2 TX_Clint and ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adiantum 36,028 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 I wait until the last 5 seconds to place my bid on an ebay auction. I make just one bid & its the highest I intend to go. Very rarely do I miss out. I dont like early bidding as theres too many sellers upping the increments. 1 ran23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ran23 10,766 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 New with tags, a Uniqlo Yellow Merino Wool V-neck sweater.

So now I can duplicate that. ebay purchase. 1 adiantum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
