The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3086

Tell me about it. I live in the land of ice and snow and I've never found a Canada Goose garment. I'd also settle for any Crescent Down Works piece.

It was 50% off @ Savers and 25% off at Salvy today.  I got a couple of decent things, but wish I'd found more.  Did find a couple of BBGF suits, but one was dry-cleaned to death and the other was an orphan. 

 

T&A - fits like 17x35 (AVAILABLE)

 

NWT Rugby RL cords - tagged 28x32 (AVAILABLE)

 

T&A - N/A

 

 

Anyone know about this one?  Seemed nice & my first 7-fold (?) (N/A)

 

Found 2x Ascot Chang white w/ black & grey check.  Fits around a 15.5x33.  I'm keeping one, so the other's AVAILABLE.  (NOTE: They have a monogram "LA", which I've taken off w/ a seam ripper on my shirt.)

 

 

 

Ferragamo Linen/Cotton S/S (N/A)

So ... my wife just told me I'll have five free hours in Vancouver BC next Friday. Thifting thoughts? (We get there Tuesday night and leave Sunday at 6, so it's not like I'll be spending my entire time thrifting -- just a little bit.)

Spoo, care to throw up a green cord thrift pic so I know how I should rock these out in the fall? PM sent obviously

Hells to the yeah. That ought to do well.

Is the shirt TF? Like how 'long' the collars are. and random but nice rug in the last picture...

Spoo, what say you on those shoooes? Who made them, diggin that perf pattern on the toe.

Thanks, that shirt was Finamore. Rug is Versace.

Loved those shoes. Just a bit too big so I had to sell them. John Lobb, "Towcester".

Damn, I never thought I'd see anyone look awesome in a corduroy suit, but you did it. Nice watch too!

Agreed. So that's how it's done, huh.

 

I actually picked up a very slim vintage military peacoat which only needed the arms let out an inch or so.  Fits beautifully and will never wear out.  Thanks though.

Re: Buying things from a store with a physical and online presence. Try shopping online rather than going into the store.  Generally only LA and NYC are going to get the high end, low margin brands in store.  Urban Outfitters and J Crew, for example, sell high end boutique brands only online or in the case of J Crew, both online and at ONE specialty J Crew in NYC.  Nothing beats kopping deals in your underwear.

Wear with just about any odd jacket, or sweaters. Or an oxford with the sleeves rolled up. Think of them as a cross between chinos and olive trousers- both pretty easy things to wear IMO.

Oh, and just about any saturated hue matches. And earthtones.

I brought a few things home today and I only took a few photos. The photos are especially low quality as I'm in a hotel room with terrible lighting and I took about 5 minutes to do them.

Anyway...

Bill's Khakis. Size 34, double pleats NWT and unhemmed. Available.

This thing is awesome and I would wear it all fall/winter if it fit. PRL made in Italy by Corneliani. Working cuffs, 39R. Unavailable for the moment, but will make it available for the right price to avoid eBay.

Burberry Golf sweater vest. Is Burberry Golf a thing? It's wool, made in Italy and a size L. It's navy, not cobalt or whatever blue the first washed out photo appears. Available.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) I found my first RLPL out in the wild and I have to say that it's a fun feeling. Unavailable at the moment because of this. Spoo, PM is on its way!

This one was a bit pricey as far as ties go, but it looks to be NWT. Any thoughts?

Finally, another gamble. It's a ski jacket by Descente. It's well constructed and was made in Japan. I see that the retro ski suits do well, but any ideas on the jackets? Several were listed with decent BIN prices, but didn't sell. Is that because there is no market or that the ski season is still a little ways away? I have great ski stuff, so I don't need it. I ski only about once a year and the rest of the time my pants/jacket is used to take the dog to fields or the park to run in the snow. Any ideas from skiers?
