Thrifters: Be on the Lookout

Amb. Joseph V. Reed
Anderson and Sheppard- A Style is Born

One of the wardrobe foundations of any man who lives where cold winters exists should be the classic camelhair polo coat. A Double breasted, patch pocketed, peak lapeled, with or without the half belted back, sleeve cuffs or other geegaws polo, will outlive the first 2 generations of men who own the coat, with the benefit of it never going out of style. New, they cost a bomb.

Global warming be damned, I'm in the hunt for one, but am unwilling and unable to pay retail, or even spring "get rid of 'em" prices. I wanna thrift store find.


Thrifters/Estate salers, if you run across a great one, especially one several generations old, in size 46-52 pick it up for me. Remember, we're thrifting, I've waited this long, so what's a few more years, please don't get carried away. If the label says Jos Banks, run away.
