The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[hucklecat]

Define 'good'. Good for you to wear, or good to flip? If it's an old American-made Gant shirt in good condition, it'll probably be good to wear (collar looks a bit huge though). Probably won't flip for much though.

Good for flipping since this one didn't fit well. Hopefully I can get $20 for it. You just never know.

 

[Mhmm]

Friend of mine picked up a couch couple days ago for his new apartment. Was cleaning it and found someone's stash savings inside a small rip on the bottom liner... 1500 bucks. Wow. Best part, I helped him pick out the couch.

Thrifting money, this is crazy.

Zegna Made in Italy silk bathrobe

Pimping, nice score.

All thrifted or bought at a discount store by me.
Woolrich Jacket
Zara Shirt
Levi's Matchstick Selvedge
PRL Canvas shoes

Awesome fit, looks really good on you.

This is a really, really nice SC, like BRIANPORE size...pick stitching wherever you look...any one of you in this 38R-minus size need some measurements and feel like a swap?

(Blue Nailhead...check out the details such as the strip connecting the two outside panels in this double vented coat so that when you sit down or bend over the double vent action doesn't make your ass look huge)

I may end up locaitng the pants to go with in the coming week. This particular store is weird that way -- sometimes pans show up in the rack after the fact (be still my heart, I matched a sweet flannel-y Dunhill-Zegna coat with its pants 2 weeks later and now have a suit my tailor made whole for me!)

In trade I'm looking for a classy staple interview suit for a 48R friend in need (he's not on SF) to which I can add something here if the jacket isn't enough.

seriously I wonder if This particular Scott A Webster is the size of the jacket...

Well....if it's Brianpore sized you can always send me the measurements (if you find the pants).

1st Brioni.....what would you guys call this pattern....beside pinstripe? It's 90's looking - Gray with teal pin?

I always wanted my own bowling ball

Non-clothing find. I've been getting back into bowling recently and the 13 pound ball I got when I was 14 wasn't cutting it anymore. So I was pretty excited to find this for $3.

 

[caseyfud]

I left a bunch of Lorenzini shirts in non-staple solid colors, size 17, at the Goodwill near my house. PM me if you want them for cost+shipping.

 

[barrelntrigger]

Been looking for a cord jacket for a while, found this today, my size, soft shoulder, patch pockets, leather buttons. Pictures make it look like ****, but it's quite nice in person.

That is the bossest cords I've seen all year! I would rock that **** out of that!

In the hunt, fake or real?

Looks real. Does it have the shield?

Friend of mine picked up a couch couple days ago for his new apartment. Was cleaning it and found someone's stash savings inside a small rip on the bottom liner... 1500 bucks. Wow. Best part, I helped him pick out the couch.

WTF!!! GOLD!!!

+1 I would love the chance to rock this if it was a 40r.

EazyE - great fits!

Authenticity check. Seems to check out, but I wasn't 100%

Authentic? Seems bad...

I see those all the time. Crap. I bought a mircrofiber jacket by them just to fill the discount quota. I'm gonna donate it back.

Lanvin Camel Hair sport coat... Flipable or keeper? Fits nice...

Also, does anyone recognize this label? Nice ish tassel loafers...

Sorry mate, that's the licensed crap. Keep if fits.

What sucks more? Going out and finding nothing or finding this-





only to find this-

Ahhh man, if it fits, I would get that **** reweaved. The damages doesn't look severe.

Someone in my area who is a size 10D left a ton of decent shoes in good condition at Savers (the one on Parkmoor for locals who might be interested). If I had slightly bigger feet, I could own a full closet of To Boot New York, Mezlan and Allen Edmonds shoes. Why can't the 9.5D's last longer!

 

[Jpmorris]

Oscar, go back and kop that oxxford. I sold an oxxford cashmere with very, very similar holes for like $132 a mont or so ago, it was a cooler pattern, but still.
Fueco- I think thats genuine, genuine GV whatever the hell that is .

Good for flipping since this one didn't fit well. Hopefully I can get $20 for it. You just never know.

There is 0% chance you'll get $20 for that old shirt... sorry. If i could flip old Gant for 20 per i'd be a millionaire at this point.
Edit: as soon as i can find my ******* camera, its ON! Nothing super badass, but a solid holiday haul.

 

[ShayaEXQT]

That doesn't look so bad at all.

What size is it?

Thanks for the feedback... I'm sort of a n00b when it comes to fashion stuff. It fits, is barely worn (if at all).

Is licensed stuff always crap? And what makes it lesser than the "real stuff"?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

+1. I'd pick that up. A small reweaving investment will pay off big.

Multiweave with light blue pinstripe? 1 store today. Just a $2 dress for my daughter. Corneliani DB 6 over 2 orphan, which is too bad because it looked nice.

Well, I've seen suede Lavin licensed SC get sold for a decent price maybe the camel hair will get some attention? Well, crap is a subjective term. But the the licensed Lavin stuff are fused to *****, low end fabric, and shotty workmenship. The real stuff has this woman hold hands with a girl that kinda looks like a sail boat, if that makes sense. Well, I only have a few real Lavin ties and a few real Lavin shirts that says "Lavin" and nothing else, think "Dior". I've yet to see a good Lavin SC. I'm sure DM7 and a few LA guys on here have seen it or handled it.

 

[Mox C]

Those holes look workable to me. The pattern is simple enough, you might want to try it yourself.
