You have fertile ground in the Boston area to find some great threads at fantastic prices. Not so much here in FL, but we do get from time to time transplates from the north - and the sell their really nice stuff at yard sales here. I'll check your blog often. Thanks - and good luck! =PaulPaulhttp://sorrentolens.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-86075279168931985632008-09-19T19:52:00.000-07:002008-09-19T19:52:00.000-07:00Charles, I know what you mean about too much stuff...Charles, I know what you mean about too much stuff. To my credit, though, I fell I've gotten over it. I no longer buy anything that has any significant defects( a problem I was had) or that fits so badly that it requires extensive alteration( another problem I once had). The hoarding habit was almost as hard for me to break as the smoking habit.<BR/><BR/>Now, when my wardrobe extends beyond the confines of my closet, I take a long hard llok at everything, strip it to the bones and donate the rest.<BR/><BR/>Not surprisingly the ame items always tend to make the cut.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-77148483333234436382008-09-19T14:57:00.000-07:002008-09-19T14:57:00.000-07:00Gus, nice blog. I once had a trad blog and it was ...Gus, nice blog. I once had a trad blog and it was the absolute worst.<BR/><BR/>I buy my clothes new because I am an irregular size. But I try to keep the old wardrobe simple. My pants are gray or tan. My jackets are navy or a few herringbone tweeds. Been sticking to oxfords. I have expensive shoes, but not as many as you.<BR/><BR/>Which brings me to a point: Thrifters have too much shit. You get used to not getting exactly what you want so you tend to buy everything that even comes close. <BR/><BR/>That's my story and I'm sticking to it.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037319798873706088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-36031346678342912142008-09-17T13:46:00.000-07:002008-09-17T13:46:00.000-07:00a man can only garden for a few months, but he can...a man can only garden for a few months, but he can dress sharp 200% of the time.<BR/><BR/>nice one, Giuseppe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-11849240424868651792008-09-17T04:11:00.000-07:002008-09-17T04:11:00.000-07:00this blog is pretty much my way of thinking, and i...this blog is pretty much my way of thinking, and is the route I've decided to go now that I'm building my post-undergrad wardrobe. <BR/>Since the US has overproduced for so many decades, I think it's entirely possible to build a warbrobe on used/deadstock items. As you said, the older stuff is made far better, and it's less costly. <BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing where this blog will go.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647378471803732502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-38312915201150011642008-09-16T10:41:00.000-07:002008-09-16T10:41:00.000-07:00I like the concept of your blog and you comments a...I like the concept of your blog and you comments about the Trad blogs.
