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

[turkey_sandwich]



SO last night I went to AA to celebrate my 20th sobriety birthday...she went to the local GW and found me a pair of Edward Greens...WTF.
However, they are not my size-these are 9D (as hand written) awesome light brown captoe brogues.
Once I make them pretty they will be available for trade.

Congrats! Sounds like a great night.

It was so hot, I'm surprised I am not even more wrinkled.





I can't remember if I posted this prior thrift pic or not. Its just a better view.

Thanks Koala! She is beautiful. I am not sure what witchcraft helped me land her. But, lets hope the spell doesn't wear off!

Church's Custom Grade captoes.

Ferragamo Tramezza wholecuts (or as autocorrect tried when I mentioned to @TGent87 "holocausts")

Stuff like this give me terrible hard-ons

No pickups, but some interesting stuff I don't see everyday:



Vintage Last Rites kit, anyone?

This has got to be a Thread First. What a Wild thing to find. Were you in a Catholic Thrift Store? You would think whoever had that would donate it to a Catholic store or Church. I see the pamphlet on the Last Rights. But, I suspect that is more geared to Communion. My father brings communion to people at the hospital (because he is retired and old and trying to get into heaven. Just kidding. I think that was his Joke). I wonder if he has something like this.

Went looking for any more new arrivals from Nataku's haul but came out empty handed. Stopped by a consignment shop while I was out and spotted a tiny pair of Levis

but wait

LVC 701s at just about thrift price

Which reminds me...

Did anyone else see this news story and think, "He should sell that on Ebay"?

I saw these today and did not buy them, but I took lots of pictures as I try to learn what Shell Cordovan looks like. These are Florsheims, made in India.

Thank you.If they are not, what denotes that? The one stamp inside says something about 'flexible <illegible> muscle'?

The little creases. Shell does not crease, not even a little.

You can see this clearly in your second picture. As others have said, when you see/feel shell, you'll know.

Alden shell chotii. No creasing not even micro creases

 

[Koala-T]

BOX!!!!! That's strike two. Watch your ass.

Thank you. I haven't seen anything made of shell yet, then. I suspect they're surpassingly rare in my part of the country, for the same reason I never see some of the brands I see bragged on here. I mean *never*. But I probably see brands regularly that some of you never only rarely. Just not carried in local stores.
