The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[GMMcL]



Picked up a pair of these bad boys at Buffalo Exchange this afternoon, despite being a half size bigger than my usual size they fit just about perfect. Now I'm trying to decide whether they make my (also thrifted) chocolate suede John Lobb Chesters irrelevant.

I have just two questions. 1. Are those PRL? 2. What size are you? Dibs 10.5-11D.

PRL old timey shirt with bib front and detachable reversible collar. XL.













Super cool PRL workshirt. L






Vintage PRL button front polo w/ MOP. XL







Paul Smith London. 16.5





Old timey pyjama type shirt from PRL, MOP buttons. M

Nice Lorenzini, they always have thick ass MOP buttons.





Minty Borrelli button-down, just in time for spring. Gasped when I saw it. Medium.









Bill's M2s 40











My first nice denim find. Earnest Sewn half-selvedge with button fly, hidden rivets, selvedge on the waistband and belt loops. Nice raw (I think) denim. This thread has been really helpful as I've been getting into denim: http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php?/topic/79002-so-im-having-a-pair-of-jeans-made/

















Hickey Freeman FF flannels, for a small dude. 32 waist.






Incotex chino linos. 34 waist.







Ferragamo tassel loafers, very good condition. 12D.










BB Italian cashmere cable knit. L.





BB extrafine merino. XL.







Boss cashmere/silk/wool.




Lands End CHUNKY cable knit cardigan. XL





Canali rayon/linen jacket. size 40.













NWT J. Crew chino jacket. XL.







Ted Baker sweater, size 5 (whatever that means).






Vintage corduroy jacket with wool plaid lining and quilted sleeves. 38.












These pictures don't do this thing justice. It's amazing, and it's 97 years old and in basically perfect condition. The softest silk lining, perfectly restrained and tasteful tailoring. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it.

Sweet jacket. Definitely early-mid 1970s.

Very impressive (unbelievable to an amateur like me, really) what you guys are able to find. I was pretty pleased with myself for getting this Oxxford SC for $30 recently

^^^^^^ That tailcoat belongs in the official vintage clothing thread!

Thats the oldest HF tag, at least that I've ever come across and the lapels scream 70's, nice score! I'd rock it.

Lol, I get it! But seriously though, I'd like to take something my boy, Troika, who is a major denim head, has said, "Who cares! They are just jeans. Wash them!" Lol, I think most advocates of never washing raw denim or only soaking them are trying to get those high contrast fading to the best of their ability. I think, as long as you don't wash them constantly, and soak or wash them in cold water when they start to smell, you should be ok, as long as you hang dry them.

Sensible advice. We do have a cold water hand wash setting on our washer. It basically just gently turns clothing over in cold water, so I'll give that a try at some point.

What a haul!!!!!!!! Size 5 is between a M and a L. That tailcoat belongs in a museum!

If any of you gents are looking for a pair of grey selvedge, UO are having a sale on their Unbranded for $49.99. Just need a penny to get free shipping.

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19140920&parentid=SALE_M_BOTTOMS

They also have the skinny version but from the pics, it looks to be the slim/straight model. Just click on the sale tab and you should see them fairly easily.

I coped a pair of the tapered leg ones. They are brought to you by the same folks behind NnF. Not the best quality but it's hard to find a pair in grey that's under $50.

 

[barrelntrigger]

Opps, forgot to add these Dockers selvedge chinos!

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=26402347&parentid=SALE_M_BOTTOMS

Almost coped these, too but too many pants, I have!

Here is the Knox hat I picked up yesterday.

dexconstruct: I'm blown away by those tails. I think that's the oldest confirmed piece we've seen here. Thrifted?
