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

Sold a nearly brand new RLPL 3 piece solid navy suit 99% wool 1% cashmere by Chester Barrie on eBay 4 months ago. About 3 weeks ago I get contacted by paypal stating the buyer is opening a dispute stating the suit arrived heavily worn in areas and not as described.....over 3 ******* MONTHS LATER.....and then PAYPAL RULES IN HIS FAVOR AND TAKES $480 BUCKS FROM MY ACCOUNT. In a livid state I call and open a case to overturn, meanwhile these people have sent me back the suit. I have my tailor write a note saying it's not in the same condition it was sent in and send it to Paypal as evidence for the case. Just got an email informing me that I just received $480 bucks back into my account....and I also happen to have a nearly unworn RLPL Wool/Cash solid navy 3 piece to sell again.....For all the times they **** the sellers, thank christ for the evidence that things can actually go our way sometimes......and this is probably the wrong thread for this story...

Pretty sure @OolongT has the shoes that the guy wore with this belt.

Matchy matchy

Re: orphans, I will almost always pick up an orphan from a good brand. at $8, there are plenty of people who don't care/don't know enough to differentiate that i can still turn a prophet. Pulled a Tom Ford-era Gucci orphan just this past week, and will do it for lesser brands.

Not Brooks Brothers or anything, but still. Just saying. 99% of the world does not know the difference between sport coat and suit jacket.

Also, looks like Linda is getting a little greedy:

Not on the level on some of these finds lately, but the most useful things I've grabbed.

All All-Clad, half unused, half vintage. All in killer condition. No idea what those two large pans on the back right are, so if anyone had input, I'd appreciate it.

Killer score. Those look like dutch oven type things, used mostly for braising. I'm sure you could do many other things with them, though.

They be Dutch ovens. They also be..

TIL that a Dutch Oven means something besides this:

Nice but not $7K nice.

Didn't one of the guys here received a fake item not awhile back from Linda? Who's Linda? Is she legit?

If this still has the size & content label it will say at the bottom left whether suit or jacket on the newer Zenga labels. Like below, the left is a suit jacket barely see "Suit" the right a cashmere jacket.

Jacket! thanks for this

both my size, my sport coat collection double today

Had no intention of hitting any stores today. Headed to the PO, not realizing that they didn't open until 10, so I had about 15 minutes to kill and decide to hit one store. Good call on my part, as I grabbed these first two items there. The rest of the stuff is from earlier this week.
