    In case i win on ebay...

    Does anyone know about this store: the-original-thrift-shop?

    I am bidding on a vintage kilt jacket, it will be my first jacket, so please, please, please don't outbid me. Just wondering if anyone here has bought stuff from them before.

    Let me know either way (and soon, since the bidding ends on 4/23!)

    I'm fairly sure I bought a jacket from them just over a year ago. The jacket was a little small (my hpoing it would fit and getting a good deal, not their fault), but in very good shape. I re sold it.

    It seems fairly consistent in my experience, limited though it may be, that the same sizes are smaller in British menswear than American.

    feedback is 99.9% positive. Now I'm worried that a 38 will be too small.....urp. Don't their inches match ours?!? And furthermore, if this sizing thing is really true how come I wear a Dr. Marten's size 7 and a US size 8.5 in shoes? What is this world coming to?

    You'd think that an inch is an inch...but apparently not so. I've been advised to go two inches up on jackets from the UK and I'm taking that as gospel truth.
