The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[Ace_Face]

"Do you know how to use a skeet rag?"

 

[mexicutioner]

^ too subtle

 

[acosbysweater]

"Yo girl, you like the Dior I'm looking for"

 

[GM-H]

Most of the album was pretty much crap (except LVL and ghetto symphony) however fashion killer is hands down the worst song

 

[DeadBoy]

I was wondering how long it would be until someone posted that.

I was personally holding off until the next DM7 haul.

Enjoy your gunboats, nephew.

Err, sorry, that belongs in the Alden appreciation thread, lol.

 

[MartiniGirl]

I like where this thread is going.

"can i check you for moth holes?"

"Ill show you fully canvassed"




Apologies in advance to Martini Girl.

Hahaha!! No need to apologize, Spoo! I wanna get in on this! .. But mine would be more of... "Hey guy, why don't you get out of those clothes and put on this Kiton suit"

I wish I had a guy to go thrifting with me sometimes. Some of the stores have creepy guys! Especially when I'm walking around with an arm full of suits and sportcoats. I enjoy taking my time when it comes to thrifting and won't put up with crap about wanting to leave early!

Explain DIY cufflinks, I am intrigued.

I make my own links. Usually from coins, buttons or other odds and ends, and backs I buy on Ebay. So far, Gorilla glue and/or epoxy has sufficed, but eventually I know I will have to step up to soldering. I made a post a while back with my collection, including my gentleman's case, in which I store my link collection and collar stays. Probably almost a year ago now. I will try to find it if I can.

Do reverse orphans ever flip?
Paul Stuart flannel. $1.49 grey chalk stripe

Might get lucky with someone trying to match an orphan. I did that once with a PRL double breast/dual vent seersucker orphan.

Looks good (though possibly a bit big in the shoulders?), although once again I submit it would look much better without the square. Especially considering how dark this one is and how nothing-y the fold is.

It's the pose. Jacket open and swept back and it bunches. This is very tight in the shoulders. I 've tried the holding down at my chest pose, but it just covers the tie. Intractable. I can't help think that getting a tripod and a remote activator crosses some line into the inexorable slide toward utter vanity, as there is literally no other function for either.

And as for the square, I literally can't put a jacket on without one now. I actually put a lot of thought into this one. The yellows and greens picked up the tie and the shirt (there's a subtle yellow overcheck in the shirt). And the blues kept it more muted, since I've gotten hell for my loud squares lately. The fold did have a bit of dimensionality to it, but it may not have come through in the pictures.

I once took a girl to Value Village on a first date. It ended up a beautiful, but ultimately doomed, relationship. She was f-r-e-a-k-y.

And you said Dig had problems.

SPOO: Even when I'm alone, I can't keep the pressure under check. I'm always thinking "If I hit this store in less than 10 minutes, I can make it to 2 more stores before [they close/I have to be at my next meeting/I told my wife I'd be home]." So I'm always flying through the racks.

As for pickup lines, I'll add my contribution: Why, yes, my suit DOES have an impressively long rise. And thank YOU for noticing.

Burberry suit. Couple of Italian silk squares. Aquascutum double breasted half trench that's in MUCH worse shape than I thought in the store. And an aaaaaaaaawesome Orvis rainbow checkerboard flannel.

Making the moves, first date in thrift store, guy says to girl:

"That guy over there is weird, let me hold your hand so that he thinks you have a boyfriend and quits following you around".

"Yes, yellow tags today is 50% off. Now be a good girl and find me all the tags that are yellow so that I can swtich with these pricey blue ones".

"Thrifting is just like a ******* love. You need to have good skills to handle the meat out here".

"Think of thrifting like giving a **. Use your head well and make best use of your hands. Build your energy up, focus, be diligent, and when the climax is reached, you will be wearing the results of your hard work".

GMMcL insinuated that I had problems.

And another thrift-store pickup line that never fails: "Hey, little girl, get in line with me and I can get us the senior discount."

 

[LeSacre]

I bet we've already scared off the one female poster. Dang, and she started off with such a great brag.

 

[Klobber]

"Hey love, check out this brand new fishing pole. You got the bait and I got the tackle"

"Check out this Massage Kit for 3 bucks. Now what did St. Jerome say about Idle Hands?"

"Thrifting is a cock tease, promises much but delivers little. However I have a feeling you are going to change all that".

"I know you want to go, please just give me a few more minutes. My doctor recommended thrifting to combat my OCD, I am certain this therapy is helping me out."
