The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 70

I'm sure this has been asked before, and I did attempt search, but I'm coming out of my lurking to ask my question, as I couldn't find anything on it via my search. Can anyone recommend the best thrift stores in the greater chicago area, at least for this sort of thing? Provided it's not a well-guarded secret society that requires initiation fees... Thanks

People are pretty secretive about these things. Just go out some day and look around. That is how we all find them.

I found my first ever thrifted Drake's tie today for about $1.50. I recently sold off a couple of Drake's I have so this will help fill the Drake's void in my tie wardrobe:

Here's a pic....they were size 10.5 B/D...sold already for around $150.

New to the thrifting scene but have decided to actually build my non streetwear wardrobe out of thrift finds... First 2 visits have netted me some wicked alden cap toe boots for $20, a very nice casual zegna shirt and a Zanone long sleeve polo shirt for $5.

This is addicting. I'm actually gonna start going 2-3 times a week...

What size are those boots and are they for sale?

Not every purchase is dramatic; all of these will serve as a building block in the everyday wardrobe, though. Picked up thrifting are an as-new J Crew barn jacket, a pair of Polo plain front chinos, a no-name ribbon belt and a vintage Brooks Brothers bowtie. Nothing in it would be considered luxury by any means, but it all gets the job done and fits in with the wardrobe as a whole.

Total: ~$15. Retail would be $200 or so for all of it, I'd guess.

I have been quite lucky here in nashville, just been too lazy to post the pics, but I found these brooks brother Irish linen shirts today and they were half off ,






they are in perfect condition!

I just had a ridiculous haul at the thrift shop. 3 x NOS deadstock florsheim imperials and oxxford sportcoat. pics coming

Well done! If they were larger and if I had seen them first, I would have bought them!

These must have come to the store in the boxes, and the boxes tossed

Wow nice finds! They look like brand new Old Stock.

Oh, what a couple days thrifting.

Found a pair of J&M Aristrocraft wings (Made in USA) -$3.99
2 pairs of Zanellas $3.00 each
1 pair of Zanella Platinum $3.75
Canali wool and silk sportcoat-$4.75
Canali Suit-$1.00 (yes, ONE Dollar)

I am so happy....
