The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 2528

So I looked at the first jacket. 2 button hickey freeman navy blazer, missing the second button. Eh, normally I would leave this, but it was cheap and despite the lack of fabric tag definitely felt like 100% cashmere. So I pulled it off the rack.

Next was another hickey freeman jacket, this one dual vent and tagged 100% camel hair. Sweet pattern, low price, so I grabbed it.

Now this one intrigued me. I could tell it was well made, and this is where i started to get excited. Sho nuff, saint andrews.


So I quickly yanked it and moved to the next jacket. Oxxford crest! Sweet. Orphaned suit jacket technically, but dual vent and ticket pocket, so should make a great sportcoat. On to the next!


This one got me really excited. Dark green, silk, dual vent, and what brand? Cifonelli? WTF.That was unexpected.


Then I felt something sick. Something so balla that I almost threw down the other jackets I was carrying to inspect it. Could it be... YES



Side vented and in perfect f'ing condition no less! How could this get any better?!?! Oh... like this


100% silk brioni sportcoat, mint and recent? yes please I think I'll take that too. And then there was one last thing at the end of the rack.

A lonely oxxford sovereign cashmere pair of pants and vest, without their comrade jacket. Alas, despite going in the back and looking through the rest of the clothes waiting to come out, I couldn't find it. But maybe it will turn up. Total cost: around 100 bucks.

 

 

 

 

Paul Stuart made in England canvas and leather spectators!!!! 22 nail heel pattern!! Sexy as all hell! My most favorite thrifted shoes so far. These are just a little too big though. Size is marked 11.5 M but must run small because they are only slightly to big for me. Anybody know a good method for shrinking shoes?

O.k fellers, this is what I scored from my short but sweet thrift-down with GMMcl yesterday:

RLPL linen trousers, traded from GMMcl, look forward to an all RLPL-linen-thrift-fit-pic-all-from-other-style-forum-members post

Pretty fugly Gucci, available


You all know by now my affinity for paisley print ties, Talbott hand sewn for Paul Simon

Ancient red wool PRL for Eric Salm's Sussex Shop, with the OG price tag of $27.50. Does anybody else get excited by old labels. No? Just me?



My new favorite tie, E. Marinella, my first! This thing is awesome! N/A


Vintage Florsheim brick sole, suede, saddle shoes. I'm wearing the bitches as I type! N/A


Chester Barrie for Harrod's glen plaid sport coat. Another first! Pattern matching is spot on, unfortunately too big for me and has a couple spots I'm going to try and work some magic on. Styling isn't very dated but the labels look old.Sz 44 maybe, haven't measured it yet. Tentatively not available pending spot removal.





And these!!!!! Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Also, it's amazing how much thrifting ground two guys who know what to look for can cover in such a short time.
