The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3701

Work has slowed down enough that I can step out to a couple of stores that are within a few blocks of my office. Unfortunately one of them put out a bunch of EZ suits priced too high to make it worth picking them up. Thankfully the other store down the street had this on the rack (along with the form it's displayed on):

Isaia Charcoal Pinstripe Suit (Not Available)
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Oh yeah, and it came with a coupon for $10 off my next purchase.

Bunch of passes at the thrift store: orphan Oxxford charcoal pinstripe jacket, navy J. Press wash and wear suit, old ass Zegna jacket, ugly Pucci jacket, three button Donna Karan signature jacket. Still, I got the feeling that good things are coming up. Outside the store, there were about 20 pallets of clothes all ready to come into the store. Oh, but I did pick up the "Boogie Nights" soundtrack:

Who the fuck gets rid of THIS? I thought TOJ was almost exclusively patronized by style buffs...

 

Then again... Balmain. You never know.

Well, you have to remember, people die or have bad break-ups with their girlfriends every day. Those are the only two possible explanations I can think of.

Nothing about Chicago. But if you ever find yourself in the St. Paul metropolitan area, get a copy of this.

I often wonder how many of these types of things I pass on a regular basis. I've seen a few really nice shirts that scream SW&D awesome brand, but eBay yields no results. In fact, there was an interesting Japanese shirt that I left a couple of weeks ago...Nan______ something. No eBay info, but it was well made with cool buttons.

Some people have so much money that a missing collar button is reason enough to toss that shit.

That's amazing... why can't I find forms like that?? That's the last piece I need before I can really start my eBay kickoff.. And whats the crest on it? Pretty cool!

Namaica?!

PS, if you have questions about SWD snap a cell phone pic and post it here, I know I, Acosbysweater, or VSVI would be able to tell you if you should pick up

Don't know if anyone has seen it yet but SF just rolled out a spectacular new mobile version. Must be why the site was screwy all afternoon. It has easy photo uploading right from your phone.

See it and love it. Quoting works quite well too.
