     Maybe this was missed because it was edited after being paged, but just wanted to say it made for a good laugh over here. Yikes...

     Damn! I understand this is only 2/3 of the full piece, but damn. I found a Lands End Charter Collection herringbone tweed jacket the other day that is in great condition and fits me (no that's not really a brag). But I wish I had found something like this!

    Question: I found this HF shirt a couple weeks ago. It's a L and too big for me. After getting it home I realized the collar is well-worn. I grabbed it for probably $3. Is this at all flippable/trade-worthy or should I just re-donate?

    Damn, great weekend hauls all around. So much good stuff. I like to see those non-clothing items, too, like the MCM furniture. Whoa. If any of you, for whatever reason, find yourselves out in good ol' Kalamazoo, Michigan, don't bother with thrifting. I went to two of the worst Goodwills I've...

    Thanks! And thanks to others who have PMed me with additional tips. Pretty much what I expected, and good to know going forward. Dang, you're all just so damned nice. I'm headed over to the west side of Michigan for the weekend and will be hitting some stores out there to see what I can dig up...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    After some low-level "thrills" on my first few hunts, I'm definitely realizing that I would rather look for nice stuff that fits me and looks good rather than always hunting down those BRANDS (unless I see something really, really good) and then worrying about trading/flipping/etc.. That being...

    This! I fixed my first thread snag on a nice tie the other day and even something as dumb as that felt great! Also, yeah those shoes look awesome. I wish I could find nice shoes around here (Detroit area). Everything I've seen so far has been so well-worn it's falling apart. Including the only...

    Yo, I'm another new guy around here. I just wanted to reiterate that this is a great resource and it is worth it for the most part to crawl back through old posts. People could probably PM you some of their top tips but inevitably you're going to run into things out in the field that you'll end...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi everybody. Another new guy here. I'm a 28 year old freelance graphic designer and illustrator in the Detroit area. Since I work from home, I don't often need to worry about how I dress. But I am interested in classic menswear and slowly building a wardrobe of quality pieces, for when I do...

     Oh yeah, I guess I should say these are all "available" although I don't know much about trading around here. Also, when I was thrifting I passed a couple of Hickey Freeman sport coats, the label indicated they were made for department stores. I assumed this meant they weren't that nice...

    Hope it's not too terrible I'm resurrecting this old thread. I found this yesterday and hadn't seen a tag like it in here yet. It must be old but any idea how old?

    Hi everyone. First-time poster here. I found this thread about a week ago and decided to go out for a big day of thrifting here in the Detroit area today. I found a few items from brands I've read mentioned here so I picked them up, even though they're too big for me. Don't really know much...
