The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3961

A throat latch. How cool.  I was more into Harris Tweeds and never had a throat latch before.

At least I learned something new and got a keeper for a jacket for me. 

The Gant I will just see what it goes for on Ebay.

Picked up 2 Brioni's (one crazy white dashed pinstripe), BB x Martin Greenfield & Mainline D&G (reunited after being lost orphans) Pics tomorrow

Non-clothing find. I've been getting back into bowling recently and the 13 pound ball I got when I was 14 wasn't cutting it anymore. So I was pretty excited to find this for $3.

Pretty decent ball too. http://www.bowling.com/products/discontinued/900global-bounty-hunter.htm

Looks like it's seen 10 games at most. I just have to get it drilled for me. And it's 15 pounds, so my ball won't just bounce off of the pins like it used too.

Also grabbed this sick Woolrich jacket labeled XL on the women's rack. Pretty sure it's neither of those.

Dead bird pocket.

Quick thrift fit with the jacket just for fun. Sorry about the dirty room/mirror/me.

Good for flipping since this one didn't fit well.  Hopefully I can get $20 for it.  You just never know.

Thrifting money, this is crazy.

(Blue Nailhead...check out the details such as the strip connecting the two outside panels in this double vented coat so that when you sit down or bend over the double vent action doesn't make your ass look huge)

I may end up locaitng the pants to go with in the coming week. This particular store is weird that way -- sometimes pans show up in the rack after the fact (be still my heart, I matched a sweet flannel-y Dunhill-Zegna coat with its pants 2 weeks later and now have a suit my tailor made whole for me!)









In trade I'm looking for a classy staple interview suit for a 48R friend in need (he's not on SF) to which I can add something here if the jacket isn't enough.

seriously I wonder if This particular Scott A Webster is the size of the jacket...

http://www.goodwinprocter.com/People/W/Webster-Scott.aspx

Well....if it's Brianpore sized you can always send me the measurements (if you find the pants).

1st Brioni.....what would you guys call this pattern....beside pinstripe? It's 90's looking - Gray with teal pin?

I always wanted my own bowling ball

Been looking for a cord jacket for a while, found this today, my size, soft shoulder, patch pockets, leather buttons. Pictures make it look like shit, but it's quite nice in person.

 

 

That is the bossest cords I've seen all year! I would rock that shit out of that!

Ahhh man, if it fits, I would get that shit reweaved. The damages doesn't look severe.

Someone in my area who is a size 10D left a ton of decent shoes in good condition at Savers (the one on Parkmoor for locals who might be interested). If I had slightly bigger feet, I could own a full closet of To Boot New York, Mezlan and Allen Edmonds shoes. Why can't the 9.5D's last longer!

Oscar, go back and kop that oxxford. I sold an oxxford cashmere with very, very similar holes for like $132 a mont or so ago, it was a cooler pattern, but still. 

Fueco- I think thats genuine, genuine GV whatever the hell that is :).

There is 0% chance you'll get $20 for that old shirt... sorry. If i could flip old Gant for 20 per i'd be a millionaire at this point. 

Edit: as soon as i can find my fucking camera, its ON! Nothing super badass, but a solid holiday haul.

That doesn't look so bad at all.

What size is it?
