The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3743

Been lurking for the past month and was really impressed by all the awesome finds so I started hitting up local thrifts. I found some pretty awesome stuff (Brioni shirt, Orvis blazer, Hickey Freeman blazer) but most of it wasnt my size

 

Here is some of the ties I picked up. I took multiple photos, but I have no idea how to upload it the way you guys do. These are available and I am pretty reasonable.

 

Hickey Freeman tie, 100% silk

Robert Talbott tie

 

Christian Dior skinny tie

 

Oscar dela Renta skinny tie, 100% cashmere

I hate orphans. Came across the jacket for a tuxedo today, just Christian Dior, but single button, peak lapel, in nice shape, and in my size. The pants, however, were nowhere to be found. Checked the entire rack of men's pants, women's pants, and the larger kids sizes. Not a trace. I'll be keeping an eye on the store for a few days in case they come out, but I'm not gonna waste my money on the jacket until then.

Wound up with two ties- a Daks Paisley and a Talbott Repp. Nothing too exciting. Quick and crappy shot:

Saw a vintage coach briefcase messenger bag. Leather made in USA. Had some use on it but no rips etc. They wanted 50... Worth it?

Double post

 

Yes. Vintage Coach from the 80's is much better than the current stuff. If you clean it up it's worth a flip, and definitely worth it for yourself. I use one I got from 46n2 every day. 

Real?

^ This guy is straight trolling us

The material some of these suits are made out of is like sandpaper. I can actually see a chafing on my left forearm sometimes after going down a really long rack of suits. It pays to wear long sleeves. Anyone else have a store near them that runs a perpetual 50% off sale on their outrageously priced items? Beat up, dated allen edmonds for $99, but they're half off!

There's a vintage store in Chicago I've walked past multiple times at different times of the year and always see a 50% off sale sign. Makes those $500 80s Dior trench coats totally worth it.

Real. Grab. Are you sure you're not in LA?

Off topic but is there a generic leather treatment to help restore shoes/leather messenger bags etc you guys prefer?

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

There's gonna be

Is all Corneliani stuff fully canvassed? I found this orphan that I picked up for $6, hoping to snag the pants after the fact but they never appeared. I was looking at it again and it doesn't seem to be fully canvassed...

Takes beginner's luck to a whole different level. What the..
