Most likely. I never actually thing the BNWOT is really brand new, but if it's in good shape, I'm happy.

I've used BNWOT a few time when I've seen the shirt packaging creases. My catholic soul won't permit me to fib.

Trends:
1. Thrift stores are getting busier.
2. People of both sexes are getting more clued up to the flipping avenue.
3. There has been a radical increase in young people thrifting (college age to low 30's).
4. Woman used to outnumber men around 2/1, now it is getting closer to even.
5. The vehicles have improved in the parking lot. See lots of trucks / BMW's now!

How old are all of you......

Oh I know, I appreciate the feedback. 

The only time I'll believe something is new is if the tags are still on it and there's still creases from where it was folded. I just assume when people say BNWOT, they're saying it's basically new, but might have been tried on or worn once.

Found this dope assss sweater yesterday. Thick -

Left an Oxxford jacket and vest, no pants. Also left a sweet LL Bean sweater made in Scotland. It had a HUGE hole in the elbow, no way to fix
