Every year after Thanksgiving, our sponsor LuxeSwap lists the best of what they have in their inventory on eBay. They’re an eBay consignor that works with both companies and private individuals to clear out clothes — old stock, second-hand, sample items, etc. Since they only trade in high-end clothing, their listings are better than most. But after Thanksgiving, they list what LuxeSwap founder Matthew Ruiz describes as “the best of the best,” which makes browsing their eBay auctions a real treat.
LuxeSwap normally has over a thousand auctions listed at any given time. This week, however, it has been whittled down to 653 listings, which makes it easier to comb through their page. Included are some recognizable items from one of our favorite retailers, No Man Walks Alone. They have some Formosa tailoring, a Sage de Cret field jacket, Inis Meain knitwear, and handmade G. Inglese shirts. I really like the outerwear from Evan Kinori, Nigel Cabourn, and Barbour x To Ki To (a notable Japanese designer). There’s even a bit of the “summer tweed” fabric I had custom woven last year.
If you’re for a great deal, you can browse LuxeSwap’s listings on eBay. We’ve also listed some highlights here.
