The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

First off, from here on out, I'll just do the simple folded shirt picture, so please excuse the mess this time around... And my button detail shots haha. I can measure any of these if any of you are interested. PM me for details.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Standard cuffs, but lists a french cuff length?


Rich buttons on this one.

first, that shirt is PURE SEX.

second, i don't think the 44 is a sleeve length. from what i've read, italian shirts all come in one standard sleeve length, and it's up to the shirtmaker or whoever to adjust it to your correct length. the "44" is just "17.5" in centimetros.

Hey all, I join Mainy and AlanC as proud KC thrifters. I've never made a true brag post but just had a fantastic haul and thought I would share!

First:

Thresher & Glenny bespoke (MtM?) exactly in my size. Both are double vented, slim fit, flat front pants. First is medium grey herringbone with powder-blue windowpane, second is dark grey 3-piece with medium blue pinstripes.







Next, two Brioni double breasted unvented in my size although the waist needs to be let out a bit. First is grey pinstripe, second is navy pinstripe







Finally, two more suits from the same guy which I can't identify. The quality is extremely high, easily on par with the Brionis but I don't recognize the tag. First is a cashmere/wool blend flannel double breasted grey with red pinstripes. Second is single breasted grey pinstripes.











Any help with identification would be greatly appreciated!

Good work. I guess "we are not in Kansas any more" and more like "Kansas City, here I come". Are Brionis suit or mforphans?

lol ironically i got the rest of this guys suits at the school sale

idk who made the giuseppe ones but i got one too. check those for moth damage though cuz the one of those i grabbed had the pants ravaged. really nice though

This was my day :

All of them are suits and as far as I can tell there is no moth damage. There is a little damage to the dark grey Thresher but it should cost less than $50 to repair

Here's the stuff I found today. The Aquascutum suit










Unfortunate damage I missed in the store... The pocket is fine but the lining is ripped up.


Shoulder to shoulder: 17"
Back from the bottom of the collar: 30.5"
Pit to pit: 20.5"
Waist at top button: 19.5"
Sleeve from the top of the shoulder: 23.25" with 1" to be let out

Pants: uncuffed and flat front
Waist: 18" side to side with no room to let out
Inseam: 28" with 2.25" to be let out

Here's the Bobby Jones. It actually fits me and I'm thinking about keeping it because I'm an outerwear addict













Shoulders: 19"
Back from bottom of collar: 26"
Pit to pit: 23.5"
Waist: 17" (plus elastic)
Sleeve from the shoulder: 24.5"

Definitely correct. 44 sleeve length would be crazy long. Going to need to measure those sleeves. My guess is your looking at 36 - 37 inches unless they were altered.
