The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 1506

Went on a thrift store binge today:

Dior button down shirt

Ralph Lauren Purple Label Button Down

2 Gant Button Downs

2 Polo Ralph Lauren Made in USA Polos

2 Le Tigre Made in USA Polos

2 Levis shirts

Spent $30 in total.  How did I do?

Ralph Lauren Purple Label is always a good find - again post pics, if it rocks the house, most here would be interested if it is their size.
I generally leave the other labels staying on the rack. I only pic up if they are cool and for my personal usuage, otherwise .............

The Dior shirt has a small silver label that says "Christian Dior" and a label above it that says "Le Cachet de Dior"

Also forgot to list an Ermenegildo Zegna button down that I bought.

I had actually never thought of selling thrift finds on here, I was just buying for myself.  It's become a fun hobby, and I seem to have enough clothes for myself.  I may begin looking for things to sell.  Is there anything in high demand that I should look out for?

Ermenegildo Zegna is a good score.
You ask an excellent question, I thought I had all the answers until I found people picking up Southwick and Harris Tweeds to flip
You cannot go wrong with (in Styleforum):
Ermenegildo Zegna, Kiton, Hermes, Attolini, Partenopia, Battistoni, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren Purple Label / Black Label, Isaia, Belvest, Luciano Barbera, Bijan, Brioni, Finamore, Charvet, Borrelli, Loro Piana, Cucinelli, Turnbull and Asser, Thomas Pink + so many other brands and sub labels I cant remember but recognize when I see em............
On eBay, fashion brands do well, i.e. Gucci, Prada, Gabbana, YSL, Versace, Zilli, Mcqueen, Dior Homme, Bottega Venetia, Lanvin, Givenchy, Burberry, Stefano Ricci, Thom Browne just to name a few

There was a Turnbull and Asser shirt there that I was about to get... didn't know the brand.  Is it worth anything?

Frustrating afternoon today - four stores, but only the first one produced anything, and only two things:
Nom de Guerre l/s polo collar sweater
Brooks Brothers leather suede jacket, size Small - not super recent, but still. Pics tomorrow, it's actually pretty cool looking IMO.

Dont think the flip is going to be that hard. It is Saint Andrews. Just going to put that Saint Andres and RLPL in the title on ebay which should help. Really nice quality suit and has a nice pattern also. Should get pictures and measurements taken today and listed in my Suit Megathread.

What are the measurements on that BB suede jacket or are you keeping it? Might be interested if its a true small.

If it is a nice looking shirt in near mint condition, I see no reason why it would not be worth up to or past $30. Worth a pickup.

$30 easy. The last two I had where really nice, but went for $60+

36R in top brands are difficult to find sometimes and people will always be interested!
