The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3688

I don't know, but there is a small Orvis shop in town I have been meaning to check out. I am sure there are mostly fishing supplies there, but maybe they have a few clothing articles to check out too. 

 

 

There is this though

Best of luck to you, this sounds like a level-headed plan if you manage to stick to it.  Being at a very competitive program can really take it out of you, stress-wise and money-wise.  Been there, man.  Slowing down a bit sounds like a reasonable solution if you keep course.  As others have said, college isn't for everyone, but if it is for you, it is worth it.  Props to you for finding your own path.

Here's to math-types! 

A few quick questions-

who made Brooks Brothers Made In Italy sportcoats in 2004? The one I just got has a plain blue label that says "Brooks Brothers" and then "Established 1818" on the bottom.

Who made Made in Italy boots for J. Crew?

orvis price is pretty on par with bb or midline stuff but they sometimes make super high cost items like their leather jackets and they make nice watches that you can snipe really cheap on the bay' and it is just looking at the catalogues and wishing I lived in new england

buy those j crew boots now they made a ton of red wing and alden collabs, also they do super well on the bay dibs if they are 11.5 or 12

I got them (on my feet right now)

there's a bit of cracking on the top of the shaft on one of the boots so I'm not sure if I'm going to put them on the bay, tbh i'd probably be disappointed if I bought a pair of boots and these showed up (they are totally fine to wear because my pants cover the damage but still they are not in perfect condition)

Trying to catch up on posting my finds.

After a fair deal of catching up on the thread, I noticed I had only made it a couple of days back, not anywhere close to the week or so I had been out of the loop. So I give up. There seems to be some nice stuff popping up, though I didn't get much chance to go thrifting over the holiday.

Anyway, I should say thanks to Wes for hooking me up with the tweed jacket, it unfortunately arrived just after I left for thanksgiving. But I have it now, and am looking forward to getting some wear out of it this winter.

Tag's are faked as much as Rolex's unfortunately, but fortunately not as well from the ones I have seen. A good way to tell is just the feel test. If should not feel cheap and light.

Also, the model number should be on the back. Google that and see if it matches your watch.

The dots on the face should glow brightly after just a little light. Check to see if it looks like a cheap glow in the dark sticker.

Check the crown for the logo as well.

If you are really interested I can show side by side pictures of a genuine Tag next to a knock off.

Today's only find. Yohi Yamamato (sp?) shades. 5 dolla. Keepers since wifey says I can pull these off, even with my big face

FTFY........Gorgeous  tweed fabric, great pictures, your new camera does a very nice job. (must be the camera, not the operator, no?) what size is coat?

Picked up stuff here and there over the past week:

Ugliest Zegna tie I've ever seen.  Nice Aquascutum.

 

  

 

A few things I've thrifted for myself - Orvis vest, Brooks Brothers canyon vest (I think this is one of my favorite things ever) and a couple of pants by J Victor and Zegna.

 

   

 

AE Graysons.

 

 

 

And I found this in a very recent HSM orphan coat pocket.

 

So is taking the money out of pockets theft if you don't buy the accompanying jacket?

 

 

Stopped in the Orvis shop here in Scottsdale two weekends ago (bought a gift certificate for a relative's birthday) There is a lot of fishing stuff and a salesman that was really nice and knew quite about fly fishing. Their clothes run mid hundreds and up. 

 

Actually pretty nice stuff.
