The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

Worked late every day this week on a huge project, only had a few minutes each day to thrift. How'd I do?


A few things for me - Aquascutum argyle sweater tagged medium, fits like a large. A couple of Brooks 346 merino polos.




Not thrifted, but just came in the mail today - my Florsheim shells are going to get the TLC they deserve:



A Goodwill close to my work has been turning up Italian sportcoats of late. Quite a surprise, given that its in the middle of nowhere. Zanella, Canali, and Luigi Bianci Mantova. All picked up today in a 10 minute stop on my birthday. Thanks thrift gods.










And the best piece of all....



Thrifted for the white elephant gift exchange. Great gag for 99 cents.

I had to run 20 miles south today and stopped by one of my first ever thrift locations for the first time in weeks. As I continue to search for raw denim, I keep finding more and more unusual Levis.
Are these the Levis for which I am looking? (Not Big E, though)

But I think the XX means they are STF. If they are made in USA and have a button fly they are a nicer pair of department store jeans. Not the worst.

Picked up this PRL cardigan for myself. Lambswool with nice leather knot buttons. There is some fraying on one cuff of the sweater, any way to hem or crop that into a shorter cuff?
