Haven't found anything nice in a while so what's better to cure the not-finding-jack-shit-dry-spell-blues? Why, thrift fit, of course!

 

1000

 

SC: Sammy, my very first jacket ever thrifted. I shorted it about 1.25 inches.

Shirt: MTM shirt by a local tailor. Paid full price.

Tie: Silk but not worth mentioning the make. Thrifted by me.

SC: Silk no name. Thrifted by me.

Jeans: LVC 501 rough raise selvedge. Bought on major discount.

Boots: Eastland heavy duty. Bought on Ebay with discounted offer.

So almost didn't get out today. So glad I went with the "well I'm up, I might as well get out" state of mind.

Started the day off right:

Cool North Face outerwear. Steep Tech designed by Scot Schmidt









First pocket squares found. Ever. In 10+ years, these are literally the first pocket squares I've ever found. Scoured the women's scarves all the time and nothing. These were hung on pants hangers and destined for the linens section! They must have thought they were nice napkins! laugh.gif They are all NWOT.

The day just gets better:





Looks like someone used another stupid plastic hang-tag here at some point. ffffuuuu.gif

Ties!





And the pièce de résistance. First picture is awful. Tried a few times and comes out the same. I've come to the conclusion that I need a new camera.

Pretty recent. Super 120s fabric.

Sorry to hear the bad news. I can tell you from personal experience though, there is a lot of truth in that. I was laid off this past March. Since then, I've had time to clear my mind, spend more time with my family, get projects done around the house, thrift and had new job opportunities open up for me. Plus, I didn't have to fight anyone for vacation time for going to Japan or going to visit my wife's family for Christmas. biggrin.gif

Gray pents, no brand, had a uniform rental sticker on them, used to belong to a "Frank".  Any guess as to the material? Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)



Short trench, brand any good?



Suit, surprisingly fits me ok , being 6'1" with a 33" chest.  Can't find much about Cricketeer, it is a bluish-gray color.




The best part, had never felt such a nice tie prior to this.



I was really hoping for some shoes, saw a pair of burgundy Sears longwings that looked nice, (double?) leather sole.  Not sure how I feel about gunboats, should I go back and get them?  As far as flipping, saw some AE loafers, worth it?  Any money is good for a college kid

Uniform tag + machine washable = poly or some poly blend.
