Not to derail, but I recently consigned a couple of items with Spoo and I was overly joyed and excited with outcome. I think if it was anyone else, I would have made significantly less.

Even if it is a formal jacket, it looks pretty darn cool.

The buttons engraved with these words " American yatch Club"

Braved the Halloween crowds yesterday, only to discover there weren't really any Halloween crowds. Managed to find all the necessary ingredients for a pretty decent Han Solo costume. Also passed on a wicked recent Gucci overcoat that had a small hole in the back, but which they still wanted $40 for.

EDIT: In other news, I have not been able to thrift, list or post here as much as I would have liked to, as I just started an internship. But not thrifting because you're in your dream job (albeit not being paid) is a trade I'll gladly take.

probably about $50-60 for everything

I like it until the shoes. Would prefer to see some oxfords or even derbies there. Hope you knocked whoever you were meeting on their asses though.

Sorry Nat. I kept checking my phone in the minutes leading up to the end, expecting each time to see the huge jump that just never came.

Like you Mr. Pug, I wonder if the storm had something to do with it. I know I was checking eBay auctions for steals tonight in hopes that many people would be too afraid of not having a house in the next couple of days to buy some shell shoes.

Heh, I assumed he meant to post in the eBay thread and just goofed up.

Being from a smaller community than most of you guys are I always feel a bit elated when I see the name of a recently deceased local bigtimer inside a suit followed by guilt because my first thought is 'how many days will it take them to get the whole donation out on the floor?'
I also left an Alexandre saville row shirt on the rack, should I go back for it?

No, leave that on the rack for the next poor fellow who gets excited seeing it. Speaking of getting excited, I left a BB Camel hair jacket. It was made in Mexico and priced at $25. I'm pretty sure they lowered it from $50 after 2 weeks or so on the rack. Some guy got super excited and told a young man to kop to sell it on the interweb.

My favorite thrifted item is my Bissell vacuum cleaner which I've thrifted from my neighbor for zip.

My favorite hand me down is my 2002 Hyundai Accent I got in 2007. It's still running strong just under 200,000.

this overcoat, for which the thrift wants $60




i think it is tagged 46
these bespoke (i assume) suits, most were 3 piece, odd since the vests fit me, but the jackets don't (they fit more like 40r or 40s), from guatemala. tons of handwork, fully canvassed, etc. there were about 5 of them.

exemplary piece

maker tag


there was another one i didn't get a pic of that was a fine navy polka dot pattern. pretty cool. would proxy if anyone wants to gamble on fit.
also reminds me i need to start thriftin with a tape measure in hand.
HF "flight coat" my size, fit like a glove out the box, worth it for 25 bones in decent used condition?


baller status suede (pretty sure real quede, though no materials tag) casual jackets one in navy, other in cream from saks fifth avenue, both real clean, thrift wants $15 each, tagged size 43R, would try to pick up for someone if interested

also, this may be a dumb question, but i can't find the answer myself for the life of me. i often see fairly high quality garments with this tag (from suits to ties) and don't know what it is. anyone care to enlighten me?

Syms department store??
