I haven't been able to properly get out there for awhile, but I managed to get to a couple of minutes squeezed in today. First of all, I found out that the shirt(s) were NOT Nanamica, but rather Niama Man and Nanuk, so nothing special ![shog[1].gif](http://files.styleforum.net/images/smilies/shog%5B1%5D.gif)
They did have nice buttons, though!
This is one of the windows of a thrift shop I stop in every week. Normally their window displays leave a lot to be desired, but I thought they did a decent job with this shearling coat:
I came out of a meeting this morning that happened to be next door to the consignment shop that I saw the Hermés ties in the window. On a whim, I went in and there were a couple still left. I bought one without taking a close look at it until I got home. After I made it home this evening, I found out that not only was it purchased this year based on the 2012 ribbon, but it was NWT![icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif](http://files.styleforum.net/images/smilies/icon_gu_b_slayer%5B1%5D.gif)
I'll probably get back there for the other one.

I passed on these...I believe they were size 36. Tommy Bahama jeans. Nothing special about them, unless someone here (or their father) particularly likes Tommy Bahama.

I was thrilled to find this NOS Borsalino in about my size. It was made sometime between 1957-1959 I believe and still has all of the shop tags and the crown insert. Never been worn and it's mine
. I attempted to adjust the photo to show its color, but it's really a dusty sort of grey. I found my first Borsalino two weeks ago and thought it would be another couple of years before I found another one in as nice of shape. I hope these things come in threes.
Finally, quick story. I stopped by the grocery store next to my apartment building to pick up some beer. I had eyed this Christmas pack, but I know it's cheaper at another grocery store and 2-3 of the beers are just okay, nothing special. I decided on a 6 pack of an organic beer that I hadn't tried. I grab it and then see that there are single bottles of the Christmas pack available. They were from a broken pack of the Christmas pack and they had been stocked on a shelf. No problem, you can always buy single beers or take single beers from six packs. I get to the front, explain to the cashier what the deal is and she says no problem - until they won't ring. She gets another employee to come over who says that I can't buy them. I said that's fine, I'll just take a six pack. A different employee that I see all of the time says, "No no, they should ring up!" They didn't and he said "ahh hell, just sell them for .10!" So, I ended up with a good amount of beer for next to nothing!
Anyone else thrifted beer before?!
These are some of them...
