The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3551

Whyred leather jacket

Beretta safari jacket

Semi-ugly Asolo hiking boots, but good for going to the store in when it's wet/snowy outside i guess

Some bags, bottom one from The Bridge

And my most expensive purchase from a "normal" thriftstore, from the swedish SA. It cost like 95$, but i really wanted it...Thrift prices in sweden are very high though, a burberry trench usually go for between 150-200$, sometimes more

Capnwes - that's 27 some-odd items you posted right there! Incredible.

I aspire to be that fluent in the future. Well done.

From my experience, they don't do that well on Ebay. But those are pretty uncommon though. Do you mind taking some measurements and maybe proxy it?

Yeah, but Wes is one of the hardest working man in the world of thrift. He usually puts about few hundred miles a week. I doubt there are many people who are willing to go that far. Yeah, I'd say he has a problem...I wish I had his problem...

So the good news is I ruined nothing better than an old-ass Burberry and a few very wide vintage Brooks Brothers. They were very classic patterns, though, and would have done well in my rotation. Alas, they are no more.
Thesis: Can ties be cleaned via the Oxy method?
Results: In a word: no.
Materials and method: Soak process previously described by JESSE, P.T.O., found here: http://putthison.com/post/441812762/cleaningshirts
Results: WTF do you want me to say? Every red tie ran like a mother and nearly ruined the shirts I was soaking. Jesus, the whole bath turned pink in SECONDS. Don't. Just don't. K?
Like all scientific failures, I plan to accept the results with quiet dignity and grace. QUIET!! DIGNITY AND GRACE GOING ON OVER HERE! (Click to show)

Wait, so what is Catside's magic method?
