The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3425

Couple of things picked up, but while I was at one GW, a father and his young daughter were rummaging through the electronics, microwaves, monitors and he was testing a Dell monitor, I went to the register with this, a made in the USA Pendleton gray wool blazer size 44R(available), and the father was buying two monitors.

Leave that Goodwill and head to another on the way to umpire a game and come across a really nice HSM gold trumpeter navy pinstripe suit (was an orphan but found the pants) measures out to a 46R (available), very nice shape, lightweight fabric:

So, I pick up the suit after reuniting the orphan jacket and head over to the electronics, maybe another Moccamaster, Roomba, shoe polisher, but I see the father and daughter and he is testing a Denon receiver with remote! He ends up at the register with the Denon and a microwave.

Might....have to....use....as.......avatar......

Well, Japan, correct?

Pics of the Fay sportcoat. Are these made by someone else, or do they have their own factory? I know the parent company is Tod's.

 

I'm going to double check my measurements and may follow up with you this evening. 

Those shoes are not creepers look up tuk if you want to see some real creepers, look over in swd of up wanna get some ideas about how to wear those those or you could prob sell them to some ninja goth on b&s those kind of soles har been hot the last couple seasons since people have moved away from vibram heritage siles

somebody is hung like a horse??

went to return the trash canali suit I got lectured for picking up.

Found these.



Wasn't sure if last button being held by red was part of shirt or not so left them to prevent getting anything not perfect.



Did find this pristine FC shirt. Available.

Kidding kopped them both and available. Striped shirt is FC, black is not.

green machine, looks like we hit the same thrifts down here in 305. i am usually thrifting in scrubs. if not, i'm a plain white dude (rare in thrifts down here). holler if you spot me.

first up, a couple handrolled ps, no markings anywhere
is the paisley one anything special? (Click to show)
next up, an insanely cool, old BB tux shirt. got some yellowing etc, but no fraying (may try the vinegar/oxyclean trick... unless that is contraindicated or someone wants it and wants to try it themselves) i am posting pix of the details on this shirt because they are so cool looking, but mostly b/c i have no idea what they are all for. tagged 15.5/35, but i measure the neck at 14.5. any knowledge dropped about this tux shirt as to its vintage and to the function of details would be much appreciated

then, these braces

looks like embossed leather to me amirite?, but the buckles are brass, pretty sure. no markings anywhere, weird stain on the elastic, still dope


tie in a very wearable pattern, keeper loop is coming up separated. anyone know how to repair this like a pro, like to factory standards? seems easy enough to do

Is that vented? 

Trying to avoid the Halloween rush I hit a VV I don't usually frequent but I'm glad i did.

 

Willis & Geiger Houndstooth Sportcoat with patches. This may be available.

 

 

 

And this bad boy. BB 100% cashmere Sport coat.3 Button Double vent. Undecided.

nice records..

I'm awfully lazy to take pics.
I found a Zegna Su misura, quite recent looks like a black sportcoat due to basketveawe and tags, will still be looking for pants, a 46 and most likely going to O'Cooney for a debt.
Also found a size 54 recent BB Loro Piana 3/2 sack blazer, will pass it on to a tradly big boy brother.
Finally a size 40 Oxxford suit very nice gray birdseye, gonna go to trading board here hopefully for an even trade up to my size.

Cheers boys, BTW love that song.

If anybody has Allen Edmonds coupons holler at me please. I need to buy a Longbranch boot and they don't have seconds at shoe bank. Much thx
