Manually–Curated 15
I troll through the internet’s secondhand chaos for deals so you don’t have to. Buy this stuff so I don’t go broke.
Here’s how it works: every week I’ll post a refreshed list of scores I’d personally recommend to friends—or buy myself, if I had less restraint. Prices are for real-world budgets, the sellers are strangers, and the thrill of the find is all yours to claim. If you’re quick enough.
I don’t know these sellers. I just like their wares. Please check the condition of the items, description, and measurements carefully for yourself beyond just simply price and brand name to ensure fit.
Paid subscribers get the full list every week + my brand lists, shopping recaps, live shopping chat access, and more—for $5/month, $55/year, or with a free 7-day trial. This week’s list is completely free to view.
Good luck and move quick. Someone else might grab it first.
Items that sold before this came out that I still want to share:
Soon, these will be shared as I find them in the Paid Subscribers chat, where you don’t have to wait until the weekend to see my suggestions in Manually-Curated.

OrSlow Chambray L/S Shirt sz 2 $75 or sz 3 $10 (auction)
I just picked up a similar repro shirt from Fleurs de Bagne this week secondhand so this is hot on my mind. Chambray is nothing new to menswear. One should be a staple in every man’s closet, period. They are breathable, layer with nearly everything, have visual interest (texture), and can stand alone with sleeves rolled up on a warmer day. If you’re just hearing about it, that’s what i’m here for. You have a plethora of options across many brands and price points, with no shortage on secondhand wares online.
New Sabah’s in Forth Worth Brown EU44 $56
The weather is teasing us in NYC this weekend with 40’s and sun. My mind drifts to springtime. We haven’t been through warm weather together yet, but Sabahs are my go-to warm weather shoe. Sabah is one of the few brands I loyally rep. I just bought a new pair in forth worth brown myself after three hard walking years around the world. They last, go with anything, and come in a million colors. People will question you as they are not typical mens shoes, especially in America. Don’t fret them, you’re vibing. Bonus: If you are in NYC, they are having a warehouse sale 2/20-3/1 at 294 Grand St, 10002. Last year I snagged 3 pairs for ~110 each, 50% off retail. Go try ‘em on and see their offerings. They also have a store in Williamsburg now (sigh). You can also check them out at Imogene + Willie in Austin, Texas and surely a few other places.
Lightweight Poplin Hunting/Field Jacket sz S $75
This is a ‘lil expensive and a ‘lil on the smaller side, but it is a banger if you do fit the bill. These should always be two-toned IMO, no exceptions. ‘These’ being field jackets, barn coats, and hunting jackets. They are abundant- it’s important you discern. It’s gotta have a lined collar, contrast stitching, corduroy wrists or pocket flaps, etc, etc for starters. Pocket layout, simple paneling, lined vs. unlined, length, closure preference are all to consider.
Vintage Eddie Bauer Patterned Rollneck Sweater Women’s M $25
Another small option as this is tagged as a women’s medium, but my goodness this is good lookin’. There are measurements in the listing. Y’all know I am weak for rollnecks, add in this color scheme….I am smitten. I’m writing this on Valentine’s Day just let me have it please. At $25 if you don’t i’m buying it just to give to one of my friends, so maybe you should take the brownie points.
Vintage Tan Goose Down Jacket sz M $45
The tail end of winter is thankfully approaching, but there is never a bad time to pick up a good piece. Next winter will be comin’ round the corner. For $45 you are getting 80% goose filling. Go ask Zara what you can get for $45. I’m a fan of the two large dump pockets combined with higher hand warmer pockets. This is my cue to nudge you to start paying attention to pocket layouts, sizes, combinations. You’re buying more than color, fit, material. It also needs to function. Crazy, I know. This looks like a removable hood. I am not a hood-on-jacket person in the slightest outside of a rain jacket, I find them tacky. Save it for technical gear. Pop your jacket collar, wear a scarf and beanie like we did long before hoods entered the silly picture.
3Sixteen Brown Cardigan sz M $84 ($76 with code PGHSPRING26)
I’ve been sharing quite a bit of 3Sixteen lately on here. They do things right. This pima cotton cardigan in brown would be versatile to dress up with trousers, or down with jeans. It would serve as a great mid layer in winter or top layer as spring nears.
3Sixteen Brown Fishtail Parka sz S $140 or sz M $235 or sz XL $225
What was I just saying about 3Sixteen? I love brown and I love distinct. This is both. 1+1=2. In December I bought a fishtail parka from my friend Nate and am so high on it. Here’s an opportunity to elevate yourself with a detail most men won’t. Just throw this sh*t on over whatever you got. It’s like the military M65 jackets which did just that, but like…more stylish. I couldn’t find this through 3Sixteen to confirm, but in atleast one of the linked listings they described it as crinkly. I have no doubt the material choice from those folks is a notch up as well. Don’t wear this if you’re wearing slim pants- thats your choice but this cut won’t work with ‘em.
Imogene + Willie Lounge Pant sz L $56 OBO
Last one, phew. I am writing this on a barstool at a local coffee shop and my giraffe neck is absolutely cranked. Ok, you don’t care, anyways. I+W is another of the few brands I rep proudly and loudly, even paying retail for. These are a bit of a wildcard with the color, but even if I just put you onto some other great items they make, and you start looking out for the lounge pant in a more moderate color- that’s a win. Ditch the Lululemon and ill sweatpants and grab something you can vibe in just as hard on your next vacation as to your couch. Cool.
