The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3533

Thank you.

The gifts that LA has to offer.

I'm so Happy!!!!! and very Grateful to DM7.

Had an insane day yesterday. The thrift gods were smiling down on me after a slow two weeks. It will likely take me all weekend to go through and photo everything...potentially longer.

 

But first..a question.

 

Are these bow ties or something else? They are obviously masculine patterns. 

Non adjustable, 44.5" long and 2.25" wide. Seem to large for my 17.5" neck. If they are bowties, is there some sort of accessory needed to reduce the length or do you just wrap it a few extra times?

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome back, Wes! Dibs on anything 40S!!!

 

 

Holy shite! It's about time somebody robbed DM7!

 

Dibs on 40S! Yes?

Cravats?

Jeez, that's a nice haul of Brioni suits and SC.

My paper had an article about a local ski shop having it's 50 year anniversary and it was a bit of a time capsule of outdoor/ski wear.

I'm sure none of these are on Nataku's list of outdoor wear to keep an eye out but this might be a trip down memory lane for some of the older skiers who may be on this forum.

Manufacturers mentioned include:

• David S. Reid
• SunIce
• Decente
• Anba
• Bogner
• Ditrani
• Nevica

I see the odd piece turn up in thrifts but I'm sure most of it was used hard and put away wet so completely beat to hell at the end of it's life, or when fashions began to change.

Though I do remember with fondness the craze for "Stretchies" in the early 80s. Think the precursor of yoga pants.

I suppose they could be cravats, but I think they are a bit thin for that.

Gad dayum, Greek.

Dat purple windowpane Brioni

Maybe a variation on a string/western bow tie?

Batwings, I believe.

Are these the combat boots I've been looking for?


Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

dudes:
Vintage Corbin tweed sc. Free. Real horn buttons. Roughly 40-41R. Button harvest/re-thrift or is someone here interested? Need to know asap.

If no one else wants it, I'd love to have the buttons only! First dibs to anyone that would actually wear it or if you'd prefer to re-donate it!

If they don't fit, I'd be very interested! 

Haha! I guess I should have been clearer: if the jacket is worth nothing, I was going to keep the buttons for myself (though I'd be happy to do someone a solid if they have an immediare need for them). I was just trying to determine if I hold onto the whole jacket, or jyst the buttons.
For now I will hold the whole. If no one else claims the buttons, I will let you know.
