It’s On eBay J. Press Peacoat I’ve long been an advocate for actual vintage naval peacoats, rather than designer knock-offs, but this is a beautiful jacket. The fit’s about a 42R, I’d say. Starts at $100, Ends Monday

It’s On eBay Benjamin Bixby Polo Shirts I’ve written already about how much I already miss Benjamin Bixby, Andre Benjamin’s wonderful Gatsby-esque clothing line. I bought a huge amount of stuff on clearance at a store in San Francisco, including a bunch of these polos, which have a great slim fit. There are currently a number of models on eBay at $10 each. $9.99 plus $3.95 Shipping

It’s On eBay Henry Poole & Co. Tuxedo I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this coat on the rack. Henry Poole? Really? But there were no trousers. That meant an absolutely frantic search through the pants rack… and paydirt. Henry Poole & Co. invented the tuxedo in the late 19th century as a more casual dinner suiting for their client the Prince of Wales. After an American saw it and ordered one for himself, which he wore for dinner in the Tuxedo Club in New York, the tuxedo was born. This thing is in perfect shape and it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s a couple inches short for my 42L frame, but if you’re a 42R or maybe even a 42S, you could have a piece which cost $3000-4000 for a tenth of that. It’s a piece you can genuinely wear for life. Starts at $390 on eBay

It’s On eBay Joseph Cheaney Shoes - Sz 11 1/2 / 12 US Still preparing to move, and I bit the bullet and listed the Cheaneys that were featured in Episode Two. Unfortunately they just don’t fit my feet - specifically my weirdly shaped right heel. If you wear an 11 1/2 or 12, though, my loss is your gain, as I’ve only worn them half a dozen or so times. Put up a suit I don’t wear much, too. Also: tiestravaganza continues apace. In response to several questions: I will gladly ship to Australia (eBay Power Lister won’t let me put that in for some reason.) Start at $99, end next Sunday
