From last weekend's thrift store run: A '30s(?) tie from Saks in New York, red with a printed blue and cream all-over diamond pattern. If I wore vintage ties, this would definitely be a keeper! But I don't, so you get to enjoy it instead. $5 shipped in the US. PM me if interested.
Modern jackets tend to be 3-4" larger than the tagged size. If the guy didn't have any experience with vintage stuff, he might have been expecting more room than the jacket actually had.
This may be tangential, but the French government opened 50 years' worth of files on UFO sightings today: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070322143210.oy201j5u&show_article=1
Keep in mind, too, that (as has already been pointed out) American and Aussie definitions of a cowboy hat undoubtedly differ. Perhaps significantly.
Maybe all Bernstein means is that it's a country/casual/outback hat ("cowboy"), not a city/dress ("fedora") hat.
My first DB suit (since I was a kid, anyway) is on its way to me. After hanging out here and seeing so many great vintage suits, the modern standard 2-piece, SB, notch-lapel suit seems so boring to me now. That's all that's in my wardrobe at the moment, but I'm working to correct that.
