The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[dukedishin]

Paging @capnwes - did I finally score some shell? (and pls see the PM I sent - condition pics below).

yup, shell

 

[Tradvocate]

Big thanks to @rayxlui for this killer Luciano Barbera linen sports coat, a minty pair of brown Allen Edmonds captoes and a number of excellent grey and brown wool trousers (not featured here). I knew the measurements were right but this sports coat fits like it was bespoke tailored for me.

 

[txwoodworker]

Has anyone washed (hand or machine) dry clean only wool pants without any ill effects? What was your technique?

Yes, used some oxy on a stain that I figured the dry cleaner could never get out, came out fine, took to cleaners to get pressed afterwards. No issues. Don't use hot water, drip dry.

Missed this wtf it keeps getting better

How do you even work with a thread that fine? Amazing.

I wonder what the highest MSRP haul in the thread is. Silver's to be close

Certainly for the new thread, but didn't someone here buy a couple pallets of new BB suits once? The name escapes me, someone who doesn't post anymore.

Awesome jacket man. Really similar to the Barbera the leftofthedial traded me years ago. Still my favorite sport coat and holding up well after a ton of use.

 

[silverwarebandit]

I noticed taking photos these are numbered... The highest I've seen is 28 so I'm missing at least 4 jackets.

Preliminary shout-out to Spoo Poker -- just got word of a mysterious package at my permanent address. All they'll say is that it's from 1988 and that I'll **** egg rolls (my translation) when I see it.

Camp at that store man. I'd be there everyday for the next week at least.

Eddie_vdr or something along those lines. He had some insane connections.

The largest that I have had was last year's tie haul. It was around $55k-60k.
