I drove over to buffalo today... No time for thrifting, but I hit up O'Connell's and the outlets... Omg O'Connell's is amazing. It's like a trad's wet dream with 4 foot high piles of flannel pants, racks and racks of tweeds, huge racks of Barbour, tables piled with Marcoliani and Bresciani socks, huge boxes of Shetland sweaters, etc. Theres more good stuff in there than I've ever seen before. Amazing. Pics of some decidedly not cheap stuff I picked up tomorrow.

If anyone wants to get me a birthday gift next month they had an AMAZING Harris tweed Harrington jacket... icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

$4 from local GW  Just about passed it up but saw it was bronze with a super patina. I'm reading about them now. Even if it is a "fake" it is still a cool addition.

Some great hauls as usual you guys, not even counting the ones involving U-hauls.....insane....icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

 

Had a pretty good fri/sat, but the worst part was seeing 6 x Zegna Su Misera suits + 1 YSL rive gauche (I think an slightly older tag though) all w/ working cuffs, mostly trofeo with a 15milmil15 & traveller mixed in , priced kinda high around 60ish but what really stopped me were the stains in the inside if you know what I mean....ffffuuuu.gif

 

Here are my pickups:

 

Florsheim PTB's Shell Cordovan Color #8, 9C edit: 9.5 B though they dont seem terribly narrow

 

 

Alden black split toes, size 8 but fit so keeping (1st pair of Aldens out of @ 20 or so that actually fit)

 

Alden Kiltie Tassel Loafers, Sz 11D

 

 

Top to Bottom: Loro Piana (1st LP shirt in wild) Fray for Bergdorf, Hermes, all fit so N/A for now

 

 

Also found some Hermes cotton pants, but found a hole when I got home....ffffuuuu.gifffffuuuu.gif

 

PRL light grey wool, checked cotton/wool blend flannel, both my size, N/A

 

BB 1818 Madison, 40 x 30

 

Woolrich brown tweed casual jacket, kinda short in length but fits, on the fence @ keeping...

 

 

8 x Zanella flat fronts, all tagged 31 but measure @ 32 by about 28.5 inseam(+ appx 2" hem)...actually left 3 more pairs

w/ issues such as stains, etc.

 

 

BB Fun shirt, size large....

 

Been wanting a down vest for a while, would have preferred a 60/40 blend,

but minty EB goose down vest , keeping

And all for 32$! This happens on a regular basis. I have grown to really enjoy a good thrift store.
Welcome, friend. We live by a single rule here: Pics or it didn't happen. There are no exceptions.

Or not. Sounds like you'd have snagged them.

Yesterday - Picked up a cashmere HSM blazer.


And this Polo Ralph Lauren jacket. 3 roll 2, throat latch, leather elbow patches, heavy wool. Awesome details. Been looking for something like this all winter.

Sexy Tyrwhitt. Versace.



I didn't think Eugene wold support several active thrifters, but it looks like both of you are coming up with some pretty good stuff. I always told myself that it wasn't worth the trip down.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that Versace is fake.

I picked this shirt at a local thrift yesterday.  It doesnt look like it was worn.  Haven't seen this brand and I don't find much info on SF.   Is it worth anything?

 

The color is much lighter (kind of baby blue).

Dude, how can that tie be fake when it has not one, not two, but three tags confirming its authenticity?

Have to disagree with you there. Nice as that jacket is, it looks too big in the shoulders, which is causing some rumpling in the fabric in the upper arm.
