Examples include pieces from H&M, Forever 21, Gap, Old Navy, Express, American Apparel (this is not an exhaustive list).

2. Pricing guidelines: Don't ask for more than you paid. If it's a current season item, I usually offer at least a 30% discount. Any posts that seem profit-motivated will be deleted. If it's obviously worn or more than 1 year old, I offer at least 50-60% discount of the paid price (not the original price).

3. Do not list more than 3 items a day. You can easily schedule a post for the next day.

4. Anyone who reposts an item within a week ('reducing' the price if no one has posted a comment) or ends an auction early won't be able to post any longer.

Thomas Sires Black Wool Peacoat - Size Medium

*posted on behalf of Kay*

Sorry for the super blown out photo, but it's the best I could do with my phone to show the detail on the black. Beautiful wool coat from Thomas Sires, with details throughout: very slight ruching on shoulders, slim notched deep v lapel, front pockets, and back attached sash. A great menswear inspired coat but made with surprise details, signature of TS' style. Worn maybe five times ever, it's in perfect condition.

Asking: $100 plus US shipping

For any questions and/or offers, please email kayw13 (at) gmail. Thanks!

manual for using

the rules are simple:
1. this is not a blog about making a profit. it is NOT intended as a site for recycling fast fashion. it is a place where you can buy and sell (and share) clothing by independent designers as well as classic, high quality pieces of both contemporary and vintage make.
2. if you're selling, include pertinent information like measurements, imperfections or fit issues, and the best photographs you can manage. only list the designer or time period (e.g. 1940's) in the label section. don't forget to close the listing (include winner's name)
listings must last a minimum of 1 week. 'first come first served' is no longer an option since the spirit of the blog is to give everyone a fair chance.
3. if you want the item, leave your name and contact information in the comments. if you do not leave your email, you will not be included in the drawing. each listing will be active for 7-28 days. at the end of this period, a name will be randomly drawn by the seller. the buyer has 2 business days to pay or make an arrangement.
4. if you are on the receiving end, it is always nice to offer something so other people can have the opportunity to have it.
5. if you have not posted any items in the previous 2 months, i will contact you about giving up your spot as a blog author to someone on the waiting list.
6. i have created an OPEN ID for previous blog authors who would like to continue to post occasionally. please EMAIL me for the username and password.

suggestions are always welcome.
