The official SW&D thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 11

Dang - that's a good deal! Never would have thought Orvis would have LVC and The Stronghold!

Wild right? They're trying to get in on the made in America bandwagon but for a lack of manufacturing presence just carry other brands. They carry a lot of Barbour too, and their footwear selection is good for Wolverines or Eastland Made in Maine. I'm hoping to come across one of these at discount some day: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=6H1P&dir_id=885&group_id=22497&cat_id=22498&subcat_id=22499

Stronghold shirts have always fit strangely to me: big and blousy in the chest, short in the arms. I think they're going for an "authentic" fit, but it's incongruous with their skinny venice hipster population. I have a medium build and still find their gear to fit super awkwardly.

Burberry black label is diffusion label in Japan made on license. It's very mid-range. That jacket is legit BBL, though - must've been donated by either a Japanese guy or a world-hopping men's fashunz type.

A fieldjacket I picked up not too long ago. I've waxed it with a bit of fjall raven greenland wax.

I'm not sure whether my post is appropriate here or not....but if anyone saw these vintage adidas (Shooting Star) Could you please pm or contact me??

I've been searching it everywhere, but never ever be able to find one.....




Thanks,

what the fuck thrift stores are you guys going to? I llve in LA and see crap at my local ones.

I don't really get the crazy shirt thing myself, so I've never really looked into it. Anyway, I recognized TM Lewin - is this anything any of you would want? I can go back for it if so.

j crew selvage and birkenstocks

 

 

 

 

Others may disagree, but I doubt it. Lewin is the bottom rung on Jermyn Street -- fine for personal use if you like it and it fits well, but not earthshatteringly rare or valuable. I would imagine any "designer" line they paired with would be about the same.

DarkMatter.....you found those Roys at a thrift store??  If so, that's amazing!!!

 

Thrift stores around here are use than shopping at Kmart :(

Ugh why did you wax this

 

 

I don't know, maybe he wants not to get wet when it rains? What's the point of a tough-looking field jacket if you can only wear it when the sun is out...?
