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

Found this and couldn't pass it up. Vintage embossed full grain leather Boy Scout belt. 60s or earlier I'm guessing.

Size 36, available.

Also, a really neat vintage Banana Republic shirt. XS, also available.

This is the Black Fleece coat I got a few weeks back. Came in at just a hair above 10% rule so I'm happy with it.

Took me a bit of google digging but finally found it was from fall/winter 2013.

Damn my phone camera is so bad. Was going to post today's haul as well, but think I'll hold off on that.

SD is San Diego and not South Dakota, right? Otherwise I'm heading to Sioux Falls pronto.

someone there is catching on

Not necessarily. If it's NWT, Value Village tends to spike the prices. They probably have no idea what that brand is, and if it had no tag, would have priced it at $7.99.

Past two days have been pretty damn good..

Egg ties. Trafalgar fireworks.

Patagonia board shorts. Orgy cleanup kit.

W&G Sweatshirt. Smartwool

This is the St. John you're looking for. Right one has remove able cuffs and collar. Santana knit

Alden full strap penny and tassel. Park Ave.

Tweedish V2. Dope Canali w/patch pockets. 50/50 cotton/linen

Now these two beautiful SCs. Recent as ****

marital aid duo in a wool/ca$h tweed type. Sammy lambswool quarter lined.

All the coats were marked as womens Blazers at a store that rarely gets anything so I don't go. They made it to half off week. 3.49 each.
Most NA unless it must be had.

Yes San Diego

Probably the main reason why it lasted long enough to be marked down. We don't really need thigh length or longer coats here, but it's a thinner wool and I think it could be put to use here in winter without being over the top.

Rule of thumb is the uglier/more colorful, the better. Don't see them much in my neck of the woods but passed on the first 5 or so I saw until I found one skeety enough.

They're basically just free money. The dumber they look, the better they are.

Found my first one a couple months ago, it was UGLY AF.

Sold within an hour of listing it for a Benjamin.

maybe your right but I'm guessing the way that top button hole is opened up from use it's used. I'm pretty sure they knew. It will sit there till half off or if those so called slashers don't #$@& it up first. But 30 ain't bad for a personal purchase either.

I believe these were Timberline, and I didn't buy them even though I was intrigued by them.

Can anyone explain the idea of these boots to me? I've seen a lot of men's boots, but never anything like this. The toe cover area attaches to the lace-up portion about 2" from the cut edge. They look military, but again, the odd leather cap confuses me. There didn't seem to be a steel toecap inside.
