Picked up some stuff last night:

 

Issey Miyake Metallic Blazer

Etro Corduroy Suit

Chester Barrie Bright Red Cashmere Blazer

Velvet Gucci Blazer

Raf Simons grey suit

Comme Des Garcons Shirt

 

I've got a ton of backlog to brag about (mostly from that car load that I posted), but haven't had the time to take pictures of 350+ items.

got these two brooks brothers jackets:

The first is available (sadly doesn't fit) 44R tweed, leather patches. leather under collar. working cuff buttons, throat latch






bb made in italy NA

Tell me more about this velvet Gucci. Is it a shawl collar smoking jacket?

Did any of you purchase this?

+1. I gotta get my post in so it doesn't get completely blown outta the water.

All the good fortune in this thread made me decide to go out again to the one place I'd found anything so far (very nice RLPL grey pants). And I had luck! Finally something I'd come close to calling a 'haul'.

First, not really thrifted, but my dad gave me this Charvet tie he doesn't wear anymore that his cat had... had a "reversal of fortune" on (to use Major League Eating lingo). Got it back from the dry cleaners today, looks like new. So in my book it cost me the dry cleaning costs, essentially thrift prices. Not available, since it was a gift.

Then three ties, PRL, RLPL, and HF. I was a bit uncertain on whether to pick up the HF, what's the general wisdom of all you thrifting veterans? I did a quick read on my phone of some SF threads about them and went looking for completed eBay auctions, the consensus seems to be that they're at least decent quality yeah? I didn't have a brown tie anyways, so worst case I keep it. I absolutely adore the two RL (especially the PRL) ties, so while all 3 are available those 2 will be tougher to pry outta my hands.

Then two pairs of like-new 32 Zanellas (one pair olive, one pair brown). Seriously look unworn, I'd call it NWOT. The olive pair has one busted stitch on one cuff, but it'd be a super easy fix and is essentially unnoticeable. Both available.

And lastly a pair of dark brown Zegna cords. Another (two) favor(s) to ask of those more experienced than I. (1) Since the tag has a drop on it are these orphaned from a suit? Nothing matched em in the store. (2) Is there a size, I assume European, on the tag and if so can you translate it into US size? They fit like 38, I'm all but certain. Available.

What do you say guys? Ok for a newbie to thrifting? (basically a month in)

EDIT - Only thing of note I left was a nice looking HF checked shirt. Collar was way too yellowed, no thanks.

Y'all have been killin' it latetly!  I just returned from a week-long school camping trip with 80 6th graders, and all I want to do is sleep.  But, I had to hit a couple of stores first!

 

A few things for me!

 

 

 

This is the Lavin you're looking for . . .

Not shawl collar, notch lapel, don't recall if two or three button, nwt - nwot (the string from tag is still there, so are the buttons in the pocket), vintage (10-15 years), zegna made, don't know if Tom Ford designed, probably 40-42R

Very generous of you, but I was too late to the party.

Also picked up this awesome, Made in England (Vintage?) Brooks Brothers Toggle Coat. $$$$$ Need to get some pics, but anyone help out with an age for this label?

 

 

I'll race you with a full-car-haul 

 

 

Spoiler :D (Click to show)

I'm not sure on the age, but I just sold this one via Typhoid Jones' Etsy shop!  I'm sure he could tell you more.

Thanks, ill send him a PM

 

Ill bite...what do you drive.

 

My guess is this.... (Click to show)

 

 

 

g37s coupe, mt (not thrifted)

Not my picture, but one of these Stolen, not thrifted.

 

Eh, what's the difference... half of my hauls are stolen off the back of Neiman Marcus trucks anyways
