I bought some NWT raw denim "Slim's Resin" 31 waist West Is Dead jeans from buffalo exchange, but want to get rid of them because I found some 30s at another store. They were $35.50 and have a total length of about 42.5". And inseam of about 32.5". They are not selvedge.

So, unfortunately, my own thrifting was looking a lot like this lately...



Or — even worse — this... (because "Lanvyn" is at least good for a three second grin)...

but

But then I came across this shirt in an awesome fabric that fit me!

and then these sweet handmade Antica Cuoieria shoes in my size...



Happy with the shirt and shoes! Maybe I'll muster up the courage to finally upload a fit pic.

Had to pass on some sick Donegal Tweed and Harris tweed sportcoats, both had small moth holes. Did pick up a PRL by Corneliani navy blazer size 42R.

It happened a second time! I just checked the pockets in the Patagonia shorts I thrifted this morning. There was a $1 bill in there. I guess they only cost me $1.50.

Lolz. Same coat poasted here and returned by yours truly. Please please please tell me you didn't find the Barbour/all those shirts in the same place? I know the Prada's are from there, looks like they cleaned up nicely!

Little miss LNWOT decided to end things before they began, tis the season it appears.

shell baby! florsheim imperials in my size. they need some polishing and some color loving but i should be able to clean them up

NO POLISH. NO COLOR. BRUSH. THEN KEEP BRUSHING.
Carry on.

Also found an awesome Cheaney's boot... No match anywhere! More to follow.

Did you ask at the checkout? Some of my stores split up pairs and hold one behind the counter to deter theft.

Here is the London Fog coat I picked up on Friday for almost nothing. Is a size 42 and I am closer to 46 so will be putting it up for sale or trade soon. 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (because I'm neck deep in this stuff at nearly every store) but this is not the outerwear you're looking for. Mackintosh. Barbour. Many more names if you're talking camp gear. But none of them is London Fog.


Laid up with the stomach flu this weekend. Your enterprise has made me jealous. I think I shall have to play catchup this week....

Hope the interview went well. I love telling my wife how much my outfit would have cost had it been new. "All of this including the watch cost me $25 when it was over $2500 new..." Is that a role reversal or what? Thank you, Thrifty Gent!

My thrift attire, interview today, my second. Whole thing ran me about 50 or so plus a little more for tailoring.

Quote:

I talked to three different employees; and searched the entire salesfloor. I'm wondering if someone else had the other one in their cart the whole time... I was in the store for over 1.5 hours. Oh well, maybe next time!

On a side note... I found a Sir Pendleton shirt in an XL tonight. Anyone interested before I throw it up on the Bay? It's blackwatch tartan...

Whats the deal with Thomas Mason shirts? I found one in my size today and it was cheap, so i snagged it. Any good?

They make pretty good fabric. If cheap, cop. My local tailor carry their fabric. Look and feels nice enough.

How come? Condition issues?

How come? Condition issues?

Apparently LNWOT wasn't ready for a long term purchase. So with that, she's off to the 'bay. It's a shame really, the details/handwork were exceptional.

Oh, you meant the coat. It had a few moth holes in the sleeve that I found after the fact.

Son of a bee sting! Strange, I just re-inspected the whole thing and could not find any evidence of moth mastication. Could be there, I was pretty giddy when I found it in the women's section, especially since it is s perfect fit.

And not to worry, nothing other than the BB camel hair was found at that location (not even the Prada shoes actually).

Forgot to mention - picked up a pair of PRL charcoal flannels (flat front, coin pocket, button fly), marked 32x32 and available.
