The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 2057

Yep, the best they had to offer at the time. Resale is probably going to get you a hundo at most now, but try some good old fashioned mannequin pinned shots to help you out

Hope you are an American hustler who conned his way into the most exclusive university in England to pursue the girl of his dreams. Those are the only guys allowed to wear varsity coats at Oxford.

Sp here's my haul for the morning, no mind blowing stuff like some of you guy's post on the regular but interesting none the less in my opinion.

Floresheim old wingtips, sz 10.5 In great shape.

Some Ferragamo captoes that are going to be my test subjects for the stripping method mentioned a few posts back.

Hand rolled silk squares.

Wax cotton driver's cap by Dale's, made in England and with a cool plaid liner to boot!

Trafalgar red and green (Christmas?) braces.

Hand-rolled scarfs for my wife.

Silk scarf for myself, good for a night on the town:D

Pretty cool leather bound travel tie holder.

Brooks Brothers golden fleece polo made in the USA, size large for trade if anybody wants it.

PRL cotton windbreaker with a plaid collar, made in the USA

Fuck ugly Brioni silk shirt that I'm going to harvest the buttons off of unless somebody objects.

This:
Pattern matching is not that bad.

 

i am distraught. i finally decided to got to a record shop in town and get a professional opinion on the value of a neat 5 piece vinyl collection from the 40's that i picked up from a thrift for $2. while walking down the stairs, it slipped from my hand, and the entire leather binding ripped apart. i have seen similar collections sell for upwards of $600. whatever this was worth, it's now a fraction of that. 

 

appreciate the recommendation though. i may peel myself off the couch and give it a shot.

 

For a second I thought you were going to reference The Talented Mr. Ripley

 

Fuck! Held for moderation.

Good morning sunshine! Where have you been. BTW a free thrifted tie of a decent brand to the person that outs wowniceshirt's (other) SF handle. Bet he is shopping here if not on the board.

I will take my free tie at any time

Is it... catside? When do I get my tie? 

Yesterday picked up a real nice Nordstrom corduroy 2-button, single vent, fully lined jacket, 48R, too big for me, but too nice to leave behind, available:

Also, passed on this brand new 40R Coppley SC today. Would have picked it up and let out the sleeves, but the missus vetoed (apparently too "Don Cherry-like" for her taste). I can pick it up for a proxy if anyone's interested and it's still there. FYI - it was selling for $40CAD, and is half-canvassed.

 

I have nothing against the guy. Glory to him. Do not, though, try to buy something from me to sell and act as if you are asking a good price for a thrifting brother.
offer consignment and let me think about it. that is the honest way to go.
