The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 4012

Drop doesn't necessarily mean its an orphaned suit jacket. I have a number of odd jackets that show a drop.
If it's PZ Sartoriale definitely it would be worth the pick up. If it's ordinary PZ, YMMV. More active voices may have better knowledge of the second hand PZ market than me.

HAHA! It was an orphan but found the pants. Second suit reunited, firt bought

I missed out on probably the best haul of my life today by a few minutes; borrelli, loro piana, zegna mil mil, recent canali, prl corneliani. Bad news bears. I would have known what it feels like for dm for one day, but alas, I am literally sick to my stomach. More story deets later with pictures of somethings that you will be interested in.

I picked up a near-mint Bogner 700 fill down parka almost exactly like this,

but the mens version, meaning mine has the wind flap over the front zipper.

 

Apparently they retail for $1,200.00  ...so I am definitely happy about it.

My cost, a royal $25 at Value Village. This was my first time to thrift shop too!

+1. I find yellow hard to pull off though (he says, as he adjusts the banana yellow polka dot square he's wearing today). White, of course, would have been great. You could also have tried a nice madder -- something with a lot of subdued reds, with some greens, rusts and yellows mixed in, ideally in wool or linen. Rust would be the complementary color to the blue, and madder would pull out the colors of the jacket. And the wool or linen would have paired nicely with the cashmere tie. Nice fit, btw.

I had a good day. Will not have time between work, teaching and travel to post details for some time. But Finamore was purchased (someone beat me to the Borrelli), as was Chester Barrie, PRL Corneliani, several items missing labels but I believe to be Loro Piana (brand, not just fabric) or better, and a whole truckload more. Construction was absolutely exquisite. One was an orphan, but far too awesome to leave. Passes included Santoni cap toe brouges with one of the caps crushed beyond repair, Gucci DB orphan (possibly TF era), several orphan/reverse orphan BB1818s, including one Saxon and two LP, and MANY overpriced items that would otherwise have proudly topped the brag list. Please do not PM until I have a chance to get back from vacation, measure and decide what's being kept and what is not. I will brag properly about it at that time.

My wife was a HUGE fan of Boston Legal and Denny Crane's polka dot ties in particular. As long as I've been thrifting, she's been on me to find myself a nice polka dot tie. Well, a quick lunchtime stop netted a fairly recent Canali mid grey staple, 54R suit and a pretty decent polka dot tie. The other tie is the first Ascot Chang tie I've come across. Very nice quality! Available (except the polka dot tie).

Anyone want me to pick up this BB outerwear medium jacket? $15 made in china, but I think it's cool. Send me a PM ASAP.

A DM-level miss!!! Ouch!

Like Steve said, PZ sartoriale is incredible. However, I would keep it if its your size, or list here on SF. It doesn't get a lot of love on ebay.

Cooper A-2, Size 46. This is available to someone who will put in the effort to find stuff for a slim 36R. 

 

 

Rugby pants and RL Rugby for my wife:

 

Cashmere cardigan & J Crew Corduroy for me

Also nothing amazing, but a nice purple gingham shirt in my size.

 

 

I don't know if I just am not finding as much or I am becoming more selective because my closet is full...looks at first shirt...yea, probably not that second one.

So I missed a pair of KEFs and a pair of vintage Bang and Olufson speakers at $10 a pair today (KEFs were recent but a base model and kinda beat up. B&O looked mint). Why am I not super pissed?

Because I found this for $15.....

Couple questions for Spoo or anyone else. Is this Tom Ford and is the "Gucci - Italy" buttons for real? Just sounds stupid and fake to me. I'm 99% sure this thing is real. Zegna made in Switzerland. Very high quality.

Also, I turned my women's Kiton 100% cashmere 2 pc suit (jacket and skirt) into a 3 pc with the matching trousers. Found them today for 1/2 off. Boy am I glad I looked.

 

Wow

 Nice
