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

Not really thrift-related since I don't think anybody here thrifts TM Lewin but I didn't know where to post...

 

[FlorianQC]

ALLRIGHT ALLRIGHT. You're the exception that proves the rule, Sir

 

[FlorianQC]

I have 2-3 TM Lewin shirts that I've thrifted. Mine (15.5) fit very similar to the PRL Custom Fit shirts I have. Slightly slim, but not SLIM slim. I assume they have different fits and I don't recall if mine have their fits listed on the label. I got the vibe that mine were a standard fit though. #notveryhelpful

No, everything is actually helpful , but on their website, they do have the fit on the label, Any opinion of the quality of the cotton, shrinkage, etc?

I would actually be super happy with the fit of their 17 shirts but with the collar of their 17.5 or 18 lol... #bigassneck

Well, there's this guy too....

Yeah but does he thrift TM Lewin tho?

He bragged it, so it must have been thrifted. At least that's how the thread is supposed to work.

Huhu I got it, it's made in UK ^^ They do most (all?) their **** in third world countries now #outsourcing #globalization

Hey guys, since it's the 2.0 thread, we should put ashtags in all our posts

Grenadine or not, that is the question. (I swear I need to find a Grenadine tie just so I can stop asking this )

I would be happy to thrift their shirts. I just never find them. Of course, I'm in the middle of Kansas. Things from those "fur in" countries is sometimes distrusted. But, I could thrift LOADS AND LOADS of John Deere shirts and I have lots of Trucker hats.

@cpmac7

Unfortunately, not grenadine.

Some recent finds I haven't posted but now I have some time. Nothing too amazing like we've been seeing, but thrift finds nonetheless...

Spoiler

A&B sport coat and an old HF wool/silk blend

Took a little risk on this one, the texture is crazy.

Eh... Half off clearance price, Ok.

I will be checking back often for this orphan's pants...

Every so often I like to take a look back at what was posted a year, three years, or five years ago. This was close to 2 years ago and an incredible find. Since it's a new thread, I thought I'd post it here. Lots of photos spoilered, but great haul @Nataku! Fun to revisit! If anyone would like to see the original post (and part 2), click here. Since our original thread is locked, you can no longer quote it directly, but have to copy/paste image URLs. If there's an easier way, someone let me know.


[quote name = "Nataku"]Wow - pretty dead on here. Everyone off getting ready for Memorial Day vacations/get-togethers or something?

Easye and Suited generated some thrift synergy that made it's way up to Minnesota.

Easily broke my record for total spending at a thrift store today. Also, I've never needed boxes over bags for clothing that I've bought from a thrift store. I can now honestly say I know what it feels like to walk in DM7's shoes for a day.

I'll leave you with this as I run these through the dryer to freshen them up and snap photos.

So in close to 15 years of hitting thrift stores, this is my best haul to date. Seriously. Never seen this much amazing stuff in a thrift store. And this wasn't all of it. I guess there was more earlier this week that went within 15 minutes of it being put out. Not sure what but the workers said it was the same donor's stuff. Anyway, point being all this stuff doesn't deserve to be spoilered. It also took me a lot of time to photograph it and upload them. I know some on here don't care for SW&D stuff but I know a lot who do. So, if you don't like it - please just scroll past. Also, if you want to quote this, please spoiler it. Thank you. smile.gif

To those asking, the Dior pants are all tagged Eu 50. The rest of this stuff measures like a slim to regular 42 R.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!
