put some regular shoes on and i like it, the rolled up exposed sockless look is pretty contrived/bloggish, rest of the outfit is appropriate though.

Dior/Thom Brown stuff is mind-blowing, well done boys.

Any New Yorkers here? I have absolutely no idea of where to go thrifting, or even what to really look for, most of the items I buy are fresh off the rack. Would love to find some gems and I know they're out there.

Thrifting in NY is a waste of time in my experience. Great stuff but they know how to charge. I have seen used shirts for $150 and they were in terrible condition.

I have had tons of success in the suburbs, but it takes patience and the competition with other flippers is fierce.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's fake Dior man

You can tell by the diagonal stitching only at the corners. The real Dior has stitching all the way around the label...


Just kidding. That's a ridiculous find man.

Saw a purple label, white long sleeve polo at the Polo outlet tonight - 75% off the already discounted price. Upon closer examination, the tags had been removed and then reattached in an incorrect manner, and the collar was filthy. ******* thing had to have been worn at least a few dozen times and then returned. Would have picked it up otherwise.
