The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I swear I see more and more thrifters from Minneapolis here on SF!

@ Tony-

That sweater looks like a most unique find. Do you have more pictures of it? How's the fit? Does it tend to tug or bind anywhere?

One store yesterday, had an interesting though small find:

Lacoste to keep for myself for spring
Psycho Bunny that's a tad too small - first Psycho Bunny I've seen in the wild. Actually pretty nice, I would keep it if it fit me. I wasn't impressed by a couple of ties I saw at discount, but I would definitely wear the polos or I'm guessing shirts if anyone runs across any in XL-XXL. Anyway, this one is available - size 7 so I guess it's a slightly slim L-XL.

Good God, man... details! Shall we start a pool on how much this LP coat goes for on the bay?

 

[noob in 89]

Not really...it doesn't have sleeves.

Can't decide whether I'm going to keep it.

EDIT: nvm. WTF?

That is a score! Wow!

Haha, there are indeed quite a few of us on here.

we need a secret hand signal so I'm not just staring at everyone in the men's section trying to determine if they post on here

It will be obvious when they laugh at newbies grabbing designer brands and passing on the off brands that SF loves

Oh, and don't forget the secret SF code

Yeah. You'd probably never notice me except for how quick I flip through stuff. I dress pretty normal when out at thrift stores (jeans & t-shirt).

Today I found a couple cool things.

Prada jacket. Not sure if its real or not but it fits well.


Roots wool sweater size medium. I have the LL Bean version of this sweater in size small and it still feels kinda big on me. This Roots one fits perfectly and only cost me $4


Ermenegildo Zegna wool sweater. There is no size tag on this but it was marked as large in the store. It looks to be around XL size. If anyone happens to be interested in buying it PM me and I can take measurements for you.

Popped into a store on the way to work - not much, a great velvet-collar wool coat for my daughter and a T&A silk weave in dark blue (almost a grenadine but not quite). Left an orphaned Brioni jacket and a rather funky Interno8 SB peak lapel jacket.

That roots sweater is great. Love the design. In the words of Jack Black, though, that EZ is a "Cosby sweater! A Cosby sweata!"

The Roots sweater is definitely the highlight of the day. It looks and feels exactly like the LL Bean sweater I got a few years ago only it fits way better. The EZ looks a little less cosbyish in real life. I would totally wear it if it fit me.
