Is there anything better than a towel warmed on a radiator after taking a shower?
No.

I spent the weekend helping my dad with his annual RazorMeeting. A meeting of safety razor collectors and other shaving collectibles. A wonderful gathering of extraordinary people from all over the globe.

While in Ohio for the meeting, I did some collecting of my own. I brought back about 100 truly amazing vintage t shirts and they will be making an appearance in my Ebay listings over the next couple of weeks.

Got back to listing some items last night after a couple of days off to thrift and readjust to Chicago.
Here are a few (jump to all listings):

Orvis Simoom Sweatshirt

Orvis Malpai Shirt

Photographers Adventure Vest

Woolrich Utility Vest

Tonight I've added two wonderful items for the truly dapper gentleman. First is a Glaser Designs Flaptop bag and the other is a Filson hat. Both are wonderful companies. Glaser Designs is a very small, San Francisco based maker of wonderful leather goods. Filson is one my favorite outdoor goods companies. The Glaser bags retail for about $1000, but here is a chance to get one for MUCH less and a distinctive look that is no longer available.

Good morning! It the day after Columbus Day and time to discover some things that have been around a while and were owned by others, but now YOU have a chance to call YOUR own.
Mornings are never quite right with me until I have my coffee, brewed lovingly in a Chemex coffeemaker. I just bought a new one and the next day my old Chemex leaped off the kitchen counter to its spectacular death. All that remains is its wood collar and leather tie.

Things I LIKE to watch fall:

The Kindness of Strangers...on Bikes.

Spent 3 hours thrifting, stopped to buy some soda and found my wallet missing....great.

So I retraced my tire tracks and found nothing, asked at the thrift store and still nothing. When I arrived home I had resigned myself to the fact that it was gone and I was about to call the credit card companies when my phone rang. My landlord said that some guy on a bike just rang her apartment and dropped off my wallet...amazing! So a world of thanks to the selfless act of a total stranger.

In the bag today is another Marmot Vest, a Nike Livestrong Shirt, a Polo Sport Hoodie, a Dick Van Dyke Sweater, and a University of Illinois Sweater from 1985.

As for the newly listed finds...here we go!
