The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3875

I forgot to mention that I saw a North Face down mummy bag for $40 or $50. There was no indication as to what fill or model it was, but if anyone needs a bag, I can go back tomorrow. It was blue, regular length.

 

Also found these club monaco 32x32 pants. I really want to keep them. How much can the waist of pants be taken in?

+3 for me on the herringbone. Very versatile and classic. Dress it up and dress it down (with denim).

Can someone help me I.d the maker for this Golden Fleece suit? This is the tag

Thanks, man!

So sort of like a Mr. Sid in Boston -- not quite as stratospheric as Louis, Boston but if I find Mr. Sid house brand stuff I'd give it two hard looks before passing.

Was hoping you'd see my post but I am lucky to read 1/3 of what goes on here so I had no expectations. Happy Holidays.

I've found some DB stuff that's worked its way into the rotation and I get lots of compliments when I do it right. I also get similar comments to yours ("I haven't worn or seen anyone in a DB since [insert something here in the range of 1985-90], but that looks good on you"). The one that gets the most "looking good today!" is that damn Polo linen DB blazer with the "guaranteed to wrinkle" tag on the inside I poasted earlier this year...



...that doesn't mean they're coming back in fashion or anything. Let's not go that far. But rather...you can pull off the style if you combo-ize intelligently and double check Flusser & Roetzel's (and DigMeNow's) thoughts.

Dude, go get that.

PS - are we opening our gifts today now that the world didnt end?

Found a few things, no pics yet.

 

VTG Big E Levi's jacket...probably mid 60s. Tag is faded, but fits near a 38

Ancient J. Riggins for Sears Mackinaw cruiser-style jacket.  The lining has seen better days, but one of the nicer pieces of vintage outerwear I've picked up. No size tag, but again fits like a 38

Two pairs of Zanella Bennett, one of which is LP Super 130s. 31 x 32

Ridiculous Brooks Brothers FU unlined striped seersucker sport coat. 40R

VTG Issey Miyake women's shirt. Medium

 

Oh, and here's a SW&D thrift fit.  Flame on.  Admittedly, it is a bad photo.

 

 

 

Cooper down bomber (from rayxlui)

Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme vest (thrifted)

Issey Miyake Men hidden placket button down shirt (thrifted)

Helmut Lang waxed denim (from mainy)

Buttero side zip suede boots (eBay)

I personally wear a Brioni tux when I thrift to show people what's what.

I wear my white-waxed Naked and Famous jeans and blue suede boots with gum soles...about as douchey as I'm willing to go for Goodwill.

The one time I bumped into Dallas's preeminent man of used cloths, he looked like a homeless person.

First off, I wanted to give BIG THANKS to Nataku for the shirt. It fits perfectly and looks great, and it's just what I needed. Until I can repay the favour, I'm putting a curse on every Minnesota flipper for ya.

 

 

Love the top, love the bottom (with a bit less cuff) but together they seem incongruous. Some slacks would have made this fit great.

 

 

Yes - send directly to me.

 

 

So tempted to feed the troll....

mptobois?

Thanks, I thought it would be Martin or something. Bonus for me :)

Another one?
