The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3758

Nope, just double checked, that's just the way it buttons, I don't think it's a woman's however.

Probably, I came across something similar a while back. It was definitely men's and buttoned like that, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

I actually picked it up because it reminded of the cardigan dude is wearing at the end of There Will Be Blood.

I am thinking of changing the way I look for stuff in thrift stores and perhaps cut my time in half by focussing predominantly in the womans section.

Insane amounts of volume thrifters lately OCD'ing in the menswear section and I am unable to be the early bird at these venues. I arrived half an hour after opening time to find 2 woman with carts overflowing with menswear and at least 4 other guys with stuff in all sizes reamed over their arms.

It is hard work flipping through racks where the 4 GW's I like to frequent have a nasty habit of bunching stuff up making it a tough gig to shift items over. I had to use all my strength to squash all suits and shirts to one side and heard a nasty cracking sound of all the coat hangers splintering. The woman's sections are remarkably well organized, the mens sections are awful to flip through.

I did find a NWOB AE shoes completely unworn. They were in the changing rooms which I do check from time to time. That was just dumb luck. Also picked up an Armani Black Label suit nestled in the womans clothing section. For me, in the woman's section, could have walked away with a Paul Stuart single breasted cashmere overcoat with leather trim on sleeves, lapels, and back - but jacket was orange and leather trim was dark brown - absolutely hideous looking. Decided to leave it there.

Rant over, I am quite pissed off since I worked my ass off today and now have a headache from constantly having to move stuff aside and having 3 or four people surrounding me competitively lifting gear. In the woman's section, wonderful clarity and few ladies and a better probability of finding some nice mens gear hidden in there.

 

"Shit"

 

 

Pants off dance off!

 

 

It could mean whoever makes an offer first, gets the item or it's available on B/S or sometimes, even Ebay. But the price usually is a bit higher than thrift. When it says "available at cost" means whoever gets at me first, wins the item cost plus shipping.

Man, that's a great deal! I wish I could gain 2 inches on my waist over night!

 

 

Hey bud, another member asked me about this. If he passes, you can have it.

 

 

Totally gonna steal this look!

 

 

 

 

Show off!

I think the way men's sections are anywhere over here I break at least one hangar per visit just sliding things into a browseable position

I've been to Alex's reweavery in Los Angeles. Hands down the BEST reweaver tailor probably in the U.S. Zegna even sends items from there as I saw many boxes from their HQ location. I've gone to Alexs for 3 small holes in a suit I picked up from B&S (seller didnt see the holes so he reimbursed me) and this was a POW pattern. They did a phenomenal job. Depending on the size and how many, you'll spend around $100

This is some really remarkable facial expression consistency.

+1. I have some pieces there now. Exceptional work. Prior damage becomes invisible.

Dang, that sucks, Klobber. It will eventually come to that around here too. I am seeing more and more volume flippers. Carts piled high with anything that holds any value at all. I've noticed this too; the menswear section has like 8 people (3/4 of them being women) frantically flipping through the racks and the women's section has a few older ladies scattered about slowly examining each piece of clothing they pick out. It's getting ridiculous....

 

 

Here are some pics of my Nudie Grim Tim. I'd have to guess that your are fake, you can see the selvedge seam is actually folded over and sewn. The other pic pf the stitching shows the yellow thread "trailing off" upward which is a "signature stitching" on all Nudies. Sorry brother.

 

Do you know if they accept shipping and send them back after they are done?

 

 

EZ stands at the same spot, too!
