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

I thought I'd share this shirt I came across yesterday, just in case anyone can tell where it came from... The picture on the shirt is from DC Talk's 1990 Album 'Nu Thang'. Any fans out there?

DC Talk: for people who think Imagine Dragons and Incubus are too edgy.

Just by way of a heads up, and I figure most of us know this, but 90-95% of the exotic skinned belts I've found have been labeled as such. Most of the shoes as well, though, admittedly, less than the belts. If it says "leather" or "calfskin" on the back, that means it's made from a cow and embossed.

Oh boy, I remember those guys. Christian h****y rap. Yuck.

Depends on price and what the tag inside was. Under two Jacksons Attolini tag in a 52R EU, hit me on the PM.

The grillux spa tag. I think youve sold one under the idra it was caraceni.

Yeah, I grew up listening to Christian Rock, and I thought these guys were a bit hokey. But I see a market for their stuff online...

Really liked DC talk until they broke up a while back. Michael Tate is the singer for the Newsboys and TobyMac is doing just fine as well. Not sure where the other member is at though. My parents went to college with them, so I listen(ed) to their music sometimes.

Found these New Holland & Sherry "Antique Silver" Plated Celtic Cross buttons in the pocket of a jacket today.

These are sold new on various sites for $20 per button.

Spoiler: The following rides the line between flip talk and non. I think it's relevant generally, but if you disagree, just move along and don't unspoiler

I usually say that "some people say" because some people say. There's no way to tell, AFAIK, which are and which aren't. I have one that I'm stock certain is, and it has Grilux (which, btw, is just the Barbera corporate tag). But I'm basing that on the crap ton of handwork and super human drape and lapel roll despite being so thin it might as well be made out of gauze. (I'd put on weight just to be able to wear that jacket again) :/

Appreciate it, this suit has aome hand stiched shoulders that i dont usually see. Is there usually more indicators on who made it? Are there attolini tags / caraceni tags?

Edit: looks like a whole bunch of people make lb, partenopea, st andrews

Bunch o trafalgars

Canali wool silk puppy tooth

Cool textured tweedy varvatos MII 48

I thought these were incotex for sure at first

Fancy old lady gear - 330 says I hit pay dirt with these

Pop!

First Hermes scarf - legit?

This got the blood pumping. Arnys sizing is wild, this fits better than the Sz 40 veste forestiere.

Thriftening ain't over. That thing is gorgeous.
